Going to the H.S. Wrestling Tryouts....

[Bjjexpertise@be]

I'm having a little difficulty with this problem. My training partner is kind of bent over enough to prevent my shooting but not bent down enough for me to head lock. The problem is that he excels in the neck and elbow clinch. I've been trying to do the 'duck under' method to escape but he ties me in tight with his head pressed tight against mine. What should I do in this situation?

[jubaji]

So I can do constant attack as long as I'm not expending my energy on useless actions?

There ya go!

Oh and I was wondering if I should change my fighting style to be as aggresive as possible. So far I've made sure each and every move I make is calculated and timing. This tactic works with some but not all(For instance there was this one kid who came in during mid season and he just flails as wild as possible when he's on the ground and this seemsto be kicking my ass) so I've been wondering if I should be more aggresive.

Of course you must be aggressive. But that doesn't mean reckless. No wasted movements, no wasted energy, and no wasted opportunities.

And because of my awesome skills, they'll have to pair 2 heavyweight state runnerups against me at the same time just to make it fair(due to my insane skillz).

Now you're talkin'! That attitude should be sending you out for some road work right-F-ing-now.

Indeed. Remind me to send you plane tickets so you can watch my state match

You better!

[jubaji]

What's that?

p

If you continue to take decent shots, if you take up to 7 unanswered shots, you will get a takedown. Unless he takes you down first of course. I've yet to get to 7. What does this mean? Keep the pressure on, and if you get stopped or stuffed, recover and resume immediately. The game's not over if you take one shot and it doesn't work out. Recover and resume. The seven shot rule will not fail you.

[Bjjexpertise@be]

And don't forget the 7 shot rule.

What's that?

Don't feel bad about it, that's how you learn to do it at first. But at some point you've got to put it all together to become fluid and quick. Combine that with a good setup and you're UNSTOPABLE! DO YOU HEAR? UNSTOPABLE!!!MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

So jubaji, I'm supposed to lower my level, step, and penetration step at the same time? No wonder folks could sprawl on me, I"ve been doing it step by step .

Listen to Mr. Ipon about the cardio. And don't forget the 7 shot rule.

[Bjjexpertise@be]

Ipon I'll do what you say and start working on my cardio.

Hey no problem......I mean the process is the same it's just the outcome is different.

[Ahoym8e]

It's Wrestling, no guard no submission. We've worked for almost a year to make him understand that and we are almost there

Hehe, I jumped in the middle of the discussion and didn't check the beginning.

All I saw was "double leg," and my own ideas took over.

[IPON]

I really don't think too many guys are gonna let you get double underhooks unless they are setting you up (remember the head-and-arm?), or they just suck.

That's what I am thinking - a throw. I am trying to picture this but I would imagine head lock, hip toss, trip or type suplex. I don't ever remember somone getting double underhooks on me...at least in a match maybe in practice
