Stopping the knee-cut pass from Quarter Clinch

[Tim Bruhn]

You been playing with the Black Mamba thingy from MTS 47? Me to and yeah same problem. Think it's coming down to the speed difference to the drilling of it and then in the live roll. As the others said I'm guessing I'm just to slow on the transition, thinking I can hold that quarter guard for longer than whats realistic.

Did land it once last night and that was solely cause I didn't even think about trying to hold quarter guard and just 'watered' around to dogfight

Alot of what Brandon said. Once I concede he is going to pass I actually use the ghost we do from side control as he is passing (aka before his hip hits the ground.) its easy to do because he already has the under hook on the far side... So I take the overlook.. Take my right arm and put it under his body to help throw him over me so I can spin under him... Usually brings me back to butterfly or sometimes gets me on top. It's really made a huge difference in my game.

Agreed, Ghost is my go to from this when my partner has the underhook

dont be trying to hold quarterguard. have a plan and move. ive been hitting the double unders to dogfight here lately and its really good, but dont go there thinking you can just chill like its lockdown or something.

lots of good advice here

Next class il help you drill it Nick!
We did mini stomp last time so lets work some live drills where you try to get to dogfight!

Thanks for the advice everyone.

That'd be good Jem.

I think you guys are right about wanting to 'hold' Quarter Clinch in the same way you would some other positions. I'll make sure to be quicker to transition out of it and see how that goes.

[NikNikAndCauliflower]

Spot on, Tim. MTS 47.

[Chauncey Nu'usolia]

lots of good advice here

Agreed

Now this is a thread right here!

We did this at the Denver seminar and eddie was emphasizing putting the free hand on his knee to help keep it on your stomach while you transition to mini-stomp and lockdown.
