Gogoplata posture tips

[changeordie]

Quick question guys, when ever i go for the gogoplata, the main problem i seem to face is, they have space to back away and regain their posture.
As soon as I move from new york, do the kung fu move and get my shin under their throat, the pressure that was once on their shoulder keeping their posture down, seems to dissapear.
Should I just focus on really hugging my knee, even when going for and applying the gogoplata? Any tips?

Clear the head while hugging the sh@t out of your knee. You don't want to give up any length of the arm your trapping. So hug even tighter when you kung fu, this will keep you tight to your opponent. Hold his head down with your kung fu hand, now you can safely unhug and grab your toes. Grab his defending hand with your kung fu hand, and straighten out your toes to finish him off quick.

The main thing is don't stop hugging until you are ready to initiate the sub, and be ready to carni his @ss if he should push your leg down.

when I get space I usually know I have the sub, it may be because you don't have enough of the shoulder upper arm when your hugging your knee.

The battle for me is when they shove there forehead in my chest.

Good luck

biggest issue i have is my shin often never gets their throat as they turtle their necks.

If they hide their chin I usually just get the tap by just applying the choke on their chin/face, not the most technical way but the main problem

the best gogoplata ive seen is nick diaz on gomi, his posture justt reamins broken down because everything is so tight

1 Idea is to double bag and do the kunfu bagga that usualy smashes there posture. Other that when i clear the neck and kunfu move with my right hand instead of keeping left hand hugging my left leg i go straight to hugging the back off his head with my left hand keeping his posture broken as im doin thos im still working the gogo as my lats and tricep keeps his arm trapped.

Double bag, so one of my feet under their far armpit and apply the shin choke with the shin on my other leg?
Ive found myself with the double bagger a lot lately and not sure what to do from there (do the normal kung fu move, and end up with my foot under their far armpit) Im only now just starting to experiment with submissions from there, gogo might be nice from there
thanks

Einstien did one while pointing the toes in the gogo to increase the pressure
