Dogfight: Options from Overhook Side

[Lucky88]

Hey all, does anyone have any suggestions for techniques/tactics to use when on the overhook side of the dogfight. Unfortunately, I don’t live very close to any 10th planet schools, so I know a fair amount about general bjj but only know the 10th pjj I’ve learned from the books. I recently realized that I have a wide variety of options from the underhook side, but don’t really know what to do other than stall with the whizzer when on the overhook side...

Thanks in advance!

I will often smash their head down to the mat with a figure four grip behind their head/neck, then as they adjust, maybe jump on a brabo or go to north south for an anaconda choke?

Come to think of it...likely a JNT or D'arce are in there too - depending on their reactions.

From the overhook dog fight position I have a 3 part series I like.

Assuming you have the overhook with your right arm and your right knee on the floor between their legs.

Guillotine choke by shouldering them down and forward and when they base and push back, switching onto your left hip and throwing their head under your left armpit for the arm-in guillotine.

Darce (marce) choke by flaring out your right knee, sliding in onto your right hip (knocking them onto their left hip), and locking up the choke with your right arm.

If their legs are outside of your right leg then you can throw your right leg over their back and then pick your left foot off the floor and swing it through to land in a triangle choke.

I try to snap them down and make them eat the dirt very aggressively. Also, if the Dog fight is sub standard on any level, I limp leg out and shoot for the front headlock position as Mike mentioned above.

Thanks for your replies! The brabo and darce both look very promising and I love that was of pushing the head down for countering single legs, so I bet I’ll like it for this. What is a JNT though?

Thanks, would you care to elaborate on what you mean by limp leg? Do you drop to your hip on that side? Or maybe just drive the hips forward?

Nice the darce, anaconda and barbo seem promising. What is JNT short for?

I’m not familiar with the prom date. Mind elaborating?
