Anybody else do this?

To get my opponents back while he is in my guard (no gi, as an alternative to an armdrag), I will grab both his wrists like I'm setting up a triangle then shove both his arms to one side while I pop my hips out to the other side (keeping grip with hands). Usually I end up easily being able to reach over and grab his lat, and take the back. If not, I'm normally very far to his side, I just hold on tight to him on the side and set up an armbar. It is really useful if a guy just wants to sit in your guard and stalemate your submissions and sit-outs.

All things are possible if we believe in ourselves.

Guy must be really off balance right? Do you do anything do make him off balance outside of wrist control?

 

[TJS]

i'll have to try it

 

[DirectDrive]

interesting. i have never seen anyone doing this, but if it works for you who can argue it?
i'd try it if i had a closed guard that was for a fuck.

if it works, its jiu jitsu

It works. I've done it on fairly advanced people, and even big, fairly experienced people. The main key is the hips, not the pushing with your arms. If you were imagining a big push with your arms than yes, this is ludicrous. You push the arms out yes, but you make a big pop out the other side with your hips, and then immediately come back in and glue your hip to his side. Its here that I reach over and grab the lat. I have long legs, so once I'm on his side I really tighten up my legs so he's stuck with me on his side, moving towards his back.
