What's your counter to the double ankle grabber in bjj? (or gi based style)
Basically the opponent is trying to toreando me as I am playing open guard. I had a long post but it got swallowed up by the internet.
I contemplated the cross arm drag, but my opponents arms were very rigid and flexed. As well as I usually use that as a last minute toreando defense.
I also contemplated the stuff his wrist in and bow his elbow but declined that as well.
I ended up working a hook sweep. But even with the turn I was not able to break the grips and ended up back in guard.
Sherdog what are some high percentage counters to this guard counter?
