help!

[gracilva]

just need some advice guys, im rolling with a guys that has about 25 kgs(55lbs) on me. he is inexpierienced in grappling and ma but is very strong and very very motivated and has plenty of street fighting ability.
i like to start the roll with him in my guard as to learn, but it seems he just puts all his weight forward and uses both forearms to pin/crush my throat and jaw, which is preety hard to control.
as i am just a beginner at bjj i just thought you guys could give me some advice.

[Mr. Heel Hook]

Does he place his forearm against your neck? If so, that is perfect for you. But I need to know what he is doing to crush your neck. Is it just the pushing of his forearm?

[gracilva]

yeah he just uses his body weight, usually one forearm on my throat and the other on my jaw (very uncomfortable).he cant submit me with it but i cant get out of it, and just fatigue myself trying.

[Mr. Heel Hook]

All right, this is actually a good thing for you believe it or not.

First notice which arm he uses to pin you with. Lets say it is his right arm he has against your neck.
[list=1][*] Push away with your hips (closed guard) to relieve pressure from your neck. This in turn will make him press even harder to try and overpower your hips. This is exactly what you want. You're baiting him. [*] As he is pressing harder against you, place the palm of your left hand against the elbow, and push that elbow off to the side, to your right so that his elbow slides off your neck and hits the ground. At the same time you do this, switch your pushing hips into reverse to draw him down. Remember, he was pushing against the force of your hips, so now when you pull him towards you, he is already committed.[*] As his elbow lands next to your head wrap him up with your right arm over his back hugging you. The arm he was using to crush you with will be dangling more or less because of how you have him pinned against you. With the arm that did the pushing, you wrap it around his neck now but you want to grab his dangling arm with it. The grip should be thumb over his wrist, not around. [*] Now you have him nice and tight to you. This is what you want. As he is pinned against you place your left foot against his hip and your right foot against the ground. Start scooting your hips to your left while maintaining that grip on his arm. Keep scooting while holding until you are on his back. Place your hooks and finish him with a choke.[*] And that's it. [/list=1]

yeah did that and got a few chokes but he also does it from the full mount and side mount and he uses both forearms, usually one on my neck and the other on my jaw

[Mr. Heel Hook]

Full mount? Just roll him then.

Side mount? Turn into him.

[gracilva]

he is a big guy so easier said than done, but i suppose im lacking in technique(plenty to learn). thanks for your suggestions mr heel hook, i will practice them when my jaw and neck stop throbbing, hopefully this year sometime

[Mr. Heel Hook]

Just takes practice. In truth, the first thing anyone who is new to Jiu Jitsu should practice is escaping the mount.

Anytime you can help you dude I am here.

greatly appriciated mr heel hook
