mma fighters please hug knee

[Ben]

Probably one of the biggest mistakes I used to make. When I first started pulling rubber guard on guys, at least half of them would pull out because I was so focused on going down the path, I'd weaken my squeeze on the knee. Even today, I need to focus, as when I try to go for Kung-Fu move, I more often than not squeeze less on my knee than I should, and they have a window to slip out. That knee squeeze is something to dedicate time and reps to (but hey, what isn't in jius?)

[Andrei (KAZE)]

And they grab their ankle the wrong way too

[derrick ikwueme]

no doubt, every thing in this complex art requires time and reps, to commit anything to muscle memory. as eddie says, long term project, but worth it. A degree in jiu jitsu is just like a degree in computer science or marketing, and much more fun

[derrick ikwueme]

slowly but surely fighters are catching on though, MMA guard play will be insane once it resenates, especially amongst the lower weight classes.

Is having really long legs a help or a hindrance?

[michael craig]

alot of rhese guys need to go train at 10th planet schools..if your going to do MMA you need your game sharpend to a point ..you know

[derrick ikwueme]

Long legs are what you make of them, if you develope a "Sick Tricky Guard" with flexibility and a lot of "Misdirection" your long legs will only help you. But if your guard is stagnet and not dynamic in any way, Then train hard on leg lock defense, Because great leg lock artists' love lazy lumbering limbs. "And that should scare the shit out of you" ACL's MCL's you get the picture

[Brandon Mccaghren]

Should that be the next 10th Planet shirt? HUG THE DAMN KNEE!
