We've been recently working on a side control escape that involves a similar straight arm frame so I deffo encourage you to try this and play with it as it's a transferable skill to other parts of the game. If you find yourself using a lot of power and strength, it doesn't necessarily mean you're doing it wrong. It could just mean that they are defending it well and that you should instead switch to a different technique (as the video demos)<br /><br />Let us know how it goes.Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-90332264946022691142011-11-13T23:58:51.727+00:002011-11-13T23:58:51.727+00:00...and I just watched the video...definitely tryin......and I just watched the video...definitely trying this.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229873505463921052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-18545912596106620712011-11-13T23:53:45.754+00:002011-11-13T23:53:45.754+00:00I really need to revisit this.

I TRY Saulos but keep finding it takes a ton of power...even on people lighter than me, which probably means I'm doing something wrong...Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229873505463921052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-2239780493798535732011-07-25T08:06:45.861+01:002011-07-25T08:06:45.861+01:00Many thanks for that Annonymous (c'mon don'...Many thanks for that Annonymous (c'mon don't be shy :) )<br /><br />I like what you are saying. It points out a view of the "What if?" as the ultimate reality. Whatever technique variation we see, we start thinking "hmm, but what if?". I like that, it keeps the art honest and alive.<br /><br />However, this situation happens in reality, just look at the video of me rolling with black belt Mr David Onuma or thousands of other situations in live matches. It happens in reality, and hence it's very much realistic :). It's like saying the elbow knee escape is more realistic than the upa escape :) Opportunities for both techniques occur in real rolls, so both are perfectly realistic. <br /><br />The situation you describe is too very realistic. Maybe we'll get a chance to shoot a video of that one too :)<br /><br />Thanks again for the comment.Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-70629127144173294942011-07-23T18:40:02.965+01:002011-07-23T18:40:02.965+01:00when he goes to s mount he should bring his heel r...when he goes to s mount he should bring his heel right into the bottom guys hip to keep him tight and try to strip his hand straight away to stop him creating space. I know this is not what is being demonstrated but is a more realistic situation. Nice video though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-12252030169254357392011-02-10T08:08:39.742+00:002011-02-10T08:08:39.742+00:00Hi shakia.

I'll put something together about that soon.<br /><br />The nice thing with s-mount is that it's usually something you reach when they turn on their side, which opens up a number of opportunitiesLiam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-73458197515916987292011-02-10T03:33:55.600+00:002011-02-10T03:33:55.600+00:00any s-mount tips?? i get somewhat in the position ...any s-mount tips?? i get somewhat in the position a lot but somethings always off, muchas graciasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-3343268436513814302011-01-27T21:42:10.182+00:002011-01-27T21:42:10.182+00:00Wow so many "like"s I'm all chuffed....Wow so many "like"s I'm all chuffed.
