Problems when appling the system in heavy guys

[mateus.b.souza]

I am an student of 10th planet jiujitsu style, but here in Brazil! My gym is a traditional BJJ gym but I feel in love with the eddie's system and the leglock game also. Nowadays I focusing on develop my rubber guard and also the lockdown halfguard but when I face some heavy dudes they put me in trouble because they are 40kg heavier and also defende my underhooks because they know about my electric chair, old school and plan B.
The wizard is also inrelevant because whey they fight my underhooks they put my arm higher, so that I am not able to counter. Hope I will film my next fight and post here for help with the system!
Anyone have the same problem or could help me with this situation?
* My coach said to try some open guard as spider guard, lapel guard, x guard... But i train in the gi, thinking i am without the gi... No way to do gi stuff
*Normally what happened to me, is the same game Leo Vieira did on Eddie in the ADCC

When you say having trouble with heavier Opponents, did you mean sweeping them? Have you tried going from lock down to Homie control? See MTS video 147 At the 00:50:05 mark Opposing Rubber Guard Games, Undertook, Lockdown, Homie Control. Love to know if it works for you

Thanks for this tip man! I will take a look and give you the reply

The point is that they put the shoulder in my face and I can get the underhooks... 40kgs havier... I will try the homie control instead

When asked this question, Eddie has told me and others this: every game can fall apart against people way heavier or stronger or more skilled than you. It doesn’t mean the techniques don’t work at all. It just means that you need to go to something else in that situation.

At first, my Lockdown worked on everyone at my level and even if they were heavier. Slowly, training partners learned my game and started defending. This forced me to get better and more creative at the game, but also to get better at transitioning to other types of half and other guards (full guard, butterfly, etc.). Play around with those transitions, esp if flat on your back.

Regarding lockdown versus larger people, don’t let them flatten you out. Get to your side as soon as possible. Get yourself deep underneath them and get a deep underhook (reaching to their far lat) with no space so it is harder for them to whizzer you.

And finally, remember that Lockdown and RG are long games, meaning it will take years of getting smashed before it becomes good. Embrace the grind.

Good luck!

A couple of options I like, if you can whip them up even a little, I play a calf slicer from lockdown bottom by reaching through to grab the toes, or work a good stomp game to get your butterfly hooks in.
Or just keep working on being comfortable getting smashed and as soon as your opponent tries to escape electric chair his ass.

WASUPPPP everything went fine! As soon as i take a look intro homie control and calf slicer from the lockdown, they try to smash me but I go for the other options... Next week i have a competition and I will try to electric chair their asses tooo
OSSSS

Like to see you play between the whip up and jaws of life to get underhooks back, also if you just cannot make jaws of life work make sure you switch quick to a strong pimp hand and pull your knee through to cocoon since there is so much head pressure you should be light in the hips and have an easy transition to any butterfly guard stuffs you like
