Combine your stomps with the godfather. Defending one opens the other. They can slice through your stomp with good instep pressure. Then you torque the knee with godfather opening their hips giving you more options and forcing them to defend. If they counter that go back to stomp. Back and forth. Plus during all the shenanigans they might give up the under hook. Take it.Quote:

OP, frame your opponents biceps to keep him from getting head and arm. Also, if you can immediately get onto your side, you can put your bottom side arm's hand on your forehead... kind of like a forehead slap (doh!). This makes his crossface slide right over your hand and over your head. Someone else already said that you should be active. That's very important. If you're working to get the lockdown and you pass up an open sweep, that is silly. Start grabbing for the toes even if your lockdown isn't in... get the lockdown in while you are working sweeps.
If they knee slide straight away, swim your left hand in and get double underhooks. You can go straight to dogfight from her if your double unders are perfect.
If you get crossfaced after all that, you have to stomp immediately. Stomp like your life depends on it and push up to butterfly quickly. From there you are on 100% offense with that overhook.
Also, re-read your books and see what they say about halfguard options/transitions. Lockdown is the treetrunk of the system
This is good shit... also, during all of this sometimes they make the mistake of letting in a bunch of space so that they can keep their balance and/or pressure on your head. When that happens use that butterfly hook and whatever hands you have free at the moment to shove the off you. Immediately stand up. Any time you can stand up or get to your knees, try it. A lot of times you can turn it into a sort of takedown. If their weight stays forward so that you can't do the takedown, snap their head down for a Marcelo guillotine.Quote:

Man, if you can figure that out you deserve a medal.
I saw Eddie do it rolling in one video (not technique) and as Iv been haveing real trouble whipping up (similar to whats described here) with the guys Iv been rolling with, as they scramble to hold onto me, I keep getting that choke. I got it from guard once as well.
Would love to know what its called (probably something simple).
the torque on the knee from the lockdown is wicked..
Just be careful & don't break your toe like I did Saturday!!! I still don't know how I did that... My Godfather sucks!!!Quote:
