Yes! I have watched that one. I have short, thick Asian/Hispanic legs, so dead orchards don’t come easily, esp on wide shouldered opponents. I really have to work the angles.

From my memory... Eddie recommends gogo clinch and flying kung fu's against big strong wrestlers.
The gogoclinch looks like it should work for holding them in place. I do some flying kung fu’s already, but sometimes they slip out in the transition.
I worked some of the other tips yesterday and found that even when in crackhead, one really strong guy will just put his free hand on my chest and ppush on my chest hard to just stiff arm out of everything, lol. I think with him, I just gotta work quickly and not stop at crackhead too long. Gonna try the gogoclinch for sure on this dude.

The gag reflecs is awesome ,
and you should be able to go for armbars at least if he has an arm on your chess in any given moment when he is in your guard.
If you dont cash him just to save a bit of face that you when for a submission and he got out and not that he just got out you know ;)
All techniques will eventually fail as the weight, size and strength difference of your opponent increases. All Guards begins to fall apart against big strong wrestlers with good Jiu Jitsu. The last guard techniques that work for me before it’s just a game of survival is the flying kung fu to Gogo plata. You gotta hunt for overhooks feverishly. Flying Gogo clinch off an overhook is money too. You’re not gonna be able to take a giant thru the basic rubber guard paths, they will explode out of that and all other forms of closed guard
Thank you for responding!
I wasn’t sure if my rubber guard was just crap and/or if I was missing a key point since I don’t train at one of the moons.
I’ve been watching MTS videos repeatedly in attempts to tweak and refine my RG and Lockdown game.
