Hey guys. Just had a quick question. When ever I break an opponent down, I get their posture broken, but they manage to keep their arms in pushing on my hips (meaning I have no hand on the mat and I can't zombie because the opponent is too tight). What's the best way to get the hands on the mat or in a zombie position if they are broken down but pushing on my hips?
Thanks
Personally I try to double-bag and then clear the neck. Once I'm in invisible crackhead the zombie is MUCH stronger. I've also seen guys meathook to clear the neck. Also if you get halfway through the zombie and fail, you can go for a duda.
I know this, but what I am saying is how do I break the posture down correctly so that their arms won't be pushing my hips. If they do that, I can't really get into Mission Control.Quote:

Gold mine of tiny details here.
Keep working that Zombie. If their hands are on your hips their elbows will be flared out. Most likely their elbows will be pinned to your thigh so here's what you do. Get a good grip right on their elbow. Push it to the ceiling. If you can't get the motion started pop your hips a little bit. Your upward force will be much stronger than their downward force. Slip the zombie in and really extend your arm until you can circle and hug the knee. There's all kinds of tricks you can use IE Night of the Living Dead or Rescue Dog, that will get the hand to the mat. Just a side not, personally I'd rather catch a free NY rather that battle for the zombie. Keep working it and you'll find what works best for you.
Wait are you saying you can't keep the posture broken or that with their hand placement you can't mount an effective offense?Quote:

Pump that shit and take that arm home then.Quote:
