Hazelette Problems

[Joe Mayall]

When ever I get into the hazelette position, (legs triangle, under the far armpit, holding opponents far arm) my opponent sits his hand under his thigh similar to how he would defend a kimura. Is anybody else having this problem, and is it something I'm doing wrong in the setup or is there some way to break his grip?

[Isaac Atley]

the arm you are attacking I assume? I would suggest hooking their hidden arm with one arm. and pimp arming the other arm then butt scoot. it usually dosnt take much but it loosens their grip and once you get it loose, pull it with the hooked arm.

Thats just a variation of a move marcelo teaches on one of his dvds, in parallel jiu claw. its all in the butt scoot but you need to be able to stop them from following.
