Need Help with old school sweepd

[Ricky Chapa]

Lately against the upper belts when I go for the old school sweep I get caught with a choke either before i sweep them or after. As far as my set up go I think im doing evrything right, I am on my side i get and underhook and protect against the crossface by tucking my head in.

What choke are they catching you with?

[Ricky Chapa]

sometimes with a guillotine choke other times with darce choke.

Sounds like you are leaving too much space on your left side. You should really clinch tight up in there, driving your head and crushing their guts to close off all potential space underneath your arms and between their body and your neck.

I recommend working with someone, going to the old school position and having them attack the darce slowly so you can feel the gaps that they are leaving open. Then manually tighten up and close those gaps... re-drill the move this time being mindful of the space you are creating.

Hell, when I used to attack from the lockdown half I used to leave gaps so wide that wrestlers would just wrap me up into a cradle and fold me until I tapped.

Thx for the help. Ill make sure to drill this.

Anytime I have someone in lockdown and they try to choke me, I sweep them right away. I want them to try to choke me.

Are you saying if someone has the vice grips on while you have lockdown, you exicute the eletric chair sweep?

Mechanic?

boa then grab the toes. whilst in the boa u can not get choked so pick your time grab the toes hit the dog figt and go. anticipate the choke it will be easier to defend or even avoid if u no its coming. u can always abort back to the boa if u fuck up the transition.
