Guard sweep with neck twist

I like this move. I prefer to work my guard from the side instead of flat backed. Check out the move of the month. Ed

Cool move, I can see it being one that's difficult to time; probably best to attempt as your opponent braces himself on an arm to try to sit up and escape the guard. One question: in a situation where you have gotten to your opponent's back, why not dig in your heels and apply a choke?

True that is another option. I find that hiping out instead of staying flat backed in the guard is better. More offensive options and greater protection. I do not like the current trend of ground and pound. No skill in that. When I practice my guard I work hard at getting the side out guard. Once there I go offense with either sweeps, chokes or armbars. The armbar is very powerfull and less likely to get countered where as the armbar from the flatback guard is easy to read and counter.

I completely agree with you. The other obvious advantage (My fight weight is 210 lbs.) is that you don't have your opponent crushing your lungs. On your side with someone in your gaurd, it's also easier to use a foot to push out one of their legs and take them off their base. We spend time in every grappling session practicing "shrimping" to the side. Even if you're not successful, it makes your opponent worried that you're trying something.
Too often, when someone is in a ground and pound position, they seem to forget grappling skills. Ground and pound is easy to block (for a very short time), but when you block it, you're extending a limb that could easily be locked up.

Exactly. I thought shrimping was something else. Only kidding Ed
