was in mma on sunday, we were working some ground and pound and i was on the bottom to work my defense. i got the mission control and he started bitchslapping me with his free arm, so i instinctively threw up my other leg to get crackhead control for the first time. it felt good, and the guy couldnt touch me. next thing i know he picks me up and slams me and im on the floor dazed and looking like a fool. any suggestions for next time? :D
Get good at grabbing the leg and hooking it when he stands to slam.
Hooking the leg is key when they stand up.
hook.. but all else fails abort get the hell outta there b4 get slammed. :o)
when i feel a slam coming and im too late on hooking the leg, on the way down ill let go and put my forearm behind my head and brace for impact.
Well before he slams you he needs to stand up, and if he stands up that means he got posture and stacked you. You can't hold onto crackhead control when you're getting stacked. He could have passed your guard if he knew how. The next time he's trying to stand up, get out of crackhead and go to mission control or butterfly guard.
Double Bagger, Works great for me to prevent them from posturing up and if they do- hook the leg like everyone else suggested.
Get to invisible collar!! That's where he can't pick you up cause his torso is off center.. :)
he didnt rampage slam me, he just lifted me to about waist height. when you say hook the leg, what do you mean???
yeah i would have gone to invisible collar but for some reason i always forget to clear the neck, i was a little occupied with him constantly hitting me in the face though, and my teacher who id just met that day was watching me in silence. theres something strange about meeting a ufc fighter and the first thing he ever says is get on the floor haha. i seem to be the only person who attempts any 10p stuff though so i dont need to worry too much about people knowing escapes etc
i think the problem might have been that i went to the advanced class by accident too :D
When someone is able to pick me up while using rubber guard, I let go and attack the legs. Not necessarily a knee bar, but transition to the x-guard and get the sweep there.
But since it was the advanced class that might not have worked for you either. Just keep practicing and keep the other info in mind (double bagger, hugging the leg...). Have fun!
When you have him in crackhead punch him in the face :-) usually makes my training partners forget about trying to pick me up cause they are too busy trying not to get punched but also hook the leg if you feel it coming if you can release crackhead as he starts to get up then roll up and dive for his legs
when they are talking about hooking the leg, they mean as he stands to slam you, inside hook his leg and bridge and twist, this will sweep him and land you either out to his side for spider web or possibly on top.Quote:

Watch how Eddie, keeps grabbing (hooking) the leg to prevent from being slammed, stacked, or stood up on, he does it a few times in this vid.Quote:

Great words of advice there.
You did good, I would have done it but I'm computer retarded and don't know how to post videos like that, no really, they didn't have computers when I was in school .... but I can type my old ass off. LolQuote:

You have to be a paid member of the site to post videos.Quote:

And I was a paid member, but my money is reeeeaaaaal tight right now and I just havent thought bout renewing as yet. I will though as soon as business picks up. and I know its not alot of money, but I really am strapped right now for every penny, with having to pay all my normal bills and put an engine and transmission in my truck this month. 0 funds in the bank account right now and still need another 1000 to get my truck back on the road.Quote:
