Trubleshooting twister side control question....

[robert gero]

Ok let me try to explain ....Pass thier guard and know trying to set up twister side control,but they are keeping that inside arm tucked and if you go to twister side control their arm will be under u..what a good way to get both of thier arms behind you? Against good guys the inside arm is hard to trap behind you...? So it like i am passing guad have reg side contro switch to twister side control and tha tinside arm is hard to trap behind me? the inside arm is always getting under me and keeping me off balanced?

Hey Robert, try to move your hips towards your opp's hips. then keep your hip tight against their side as your slide your hips back into proper position. You may have to play with harvesting the arm in this fashion, but after you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy! Let me know how that works out for you

[tremper]

Also try going for a kimura or americana on the opposite side just as a distraction and then trapping the arm after he goes to defend

Or transition to north/south

[bobby rivers]

Baseball grip the wrist in front of your chest when you roll. Hold it. Wait for your opponent to relax or push the legs with his free hand. Explode his arm behind your head. Work it down to your side, then reach around the top of his head and bingo.
People are getting wise to the twister as well.

Dude. Wtf are you talking about?

Or transition to north/south

Definitely. That arm usually dictates my move. If i can keep it under control than it's standard side, I'd I'm losing it I use either scarfhold or twister side to scrape that arm back into position to nullify it... if that elbow still gets past me then I just keep going until I reach north south. North south off of twister side usually leads to a monson choke and getting to north south via scarfhold usually leads to a farside arm bar.

+1 yeah

[robert gero]

booby north south is nice it was transision to the monson choke... The near side arm keeps getting caught in between me and him even if i go to scarf hold get the arm up and transisition to reg side then twister side as i do against good guys the yare tucking in that near side elbow and i cant trap the arm behind me? it more like i am laying on thier arm as it is in tex rex postion and they are getting space and i cant trap the arm... hope u understand ....

I only use tsc when the situation calls for it. I love transitioning to knee on belly, reverse knee on belly back to regular knee on belly and just take his arms out at the elbows with my knee switches....if that makes any sense. Or knee on belly reverse knee on belly caporeia mount/coffee grind back to side control and that usually opens them up a little.
