    both my legs over their shoulders, what can i do?

    Being a skinny guy I'm finding myself on my back constantly. High guard, rubber guard, triangles, that's all I got at this point. So I've very aware of getting one leg on a shoulder, right to the triangle.

    My problem is that I'm often finding myself with BOTH legs over the shoulders. It's not intentional, but it seems to come up all the time for me. And I have no idea what to do.

    Once I just teepee'd my legs, wrapped my arms around, and squeezed my opponent's head like a zit that needed popped. It failed.

    So what are my options when I find myself in that position. It doesn't seem to be a good position at all, generally they stack me and pass. But there must be SOMETHING I can go for in that situation.

    Any suggestions?

    Are you talking about the double under pass position?

    Craig, I've watched Joe finish that in competition on more than one occasion. It's a bit of a sleeper tech that really relies on your opponent to have poor posture. But if they want to hang out around with their face near your nuts, choke them shits out.

    If they have not elevated your hips then that means you can move your hips to escape and recover guard.

    Granby, invert, frame, repeat until you get back to guard or a better position. Hip movement needs to be good to do this. Use your feet as frames to, push away at their hips or armpits. Sometimes it gets me to butterfly guard too. I'm happy with either one.
    Be one with yourself and know you can do anything when you are friends with yourself.

    Leg weave your butterfly hooks in over their arms and sit up and guillotine them. There is also a nice shoulder lock if you weave your foot in and across his far hip.
