what do you do when they stack you and hooking their ankle isnt sweeping them
If your in regular mission control while being stacked Id go for the drop kick sweep or do my best to get to crackhead control and try to work the pump. Thats just me though :)
I'm very inexperienced but I had luck twice just holding on until they went back to their knees and then "unstacked" myself a little to try to get to crackhead control or retard control and then go back to mission control try for New york or whatever happens...
I tried for like 3 seconds to sweep them by grabbing the ankle. Don't see how it can work. Maybe if you brace the knee and then pull on the ankle?

this position used to kill my back but i learned how to rest my weight on my shoulders instead of my back. now i can just live in a stacked position like that. usually before class, i just do a granby roll and stretch it out until my feet can touch the ground and comfortably stay there. get acclimated to it ASAP, it totally saved my back
Honestly, I just let go of the Rubber Guard and come back to it later if it opens up. If he wants to stack from Mission Control or New York, let him go, make your adjustments out onto your hip and look to clear his head preemptively. It makes life much easier for me to approach the guard as a philosophy and idea rather than a "how can I make this move work?" approach.
Just how I deal with it.
Just going off memory here, so I could be wrong, but I think Eddie explains this in an MTS. He keeps that foot on the hip to defend the stack.
Personally, In training rolls, I take an approach similiar to Brandon.
@Brandon- For some time now, after reading your posts I have been saying to myself " Man I really think I would enjoy training with this guy. Maybe someday.
Brandon's approach is probably the best, but occasionally I'll hold onto it just to see what happens. Where my knees are weak anytime I want to throw up mission control I have to hip out first or it hurts. That little hip out puts the stretch on my hips where it's supposed to be. A nice byproduct of that is if/when I get stacked they're not crushing right down on me, and if they adjust to smash me it's easy to hit jiu-claw because of how their body is positioned in realtion to mine.
Make it happen! We'd be honored to have you.Quote:

I didn't think about being stacked hurting or being extremely uncomfortable. Doesn't bother me at all but I'm pretty flexible.
