You guys all made me aware that youtube has a 15 min time limit now, so my latest video has just under 5 min of commentary on Rogers matches along with the instruction.
Ninja, yea...roger is doing something that leads him to pass on that side and it has to do with which hand opens the guard from the standing position. Since he usually pins his oppent with his non lead arm (left) he typically opens the guard with his right. If your right hand opens the guard, more often than not you will find yourself on that side. Check out my passing lesson #4 and it will explain it a bit
do you plan on breaking down roger's half guard sweeps?
I love the little foot tap roger does to get through to full mount at 10:38 in the video.
Roger has also done a half guard bride sweep that can be found on vince quituguas dvd if you have it. Some of the dvd has made its way onto youtube so ill have a look and see if I can find it.
I prefer to pass to my leftFor example:
I prefer to pass to the right.
I prefer to armbar from mount against the right arm.
I lock my closed guard with my right ankle over my left.
I prefer to triangle bringing my left leg through.
I prefer to omoplata my opponent's left arm.
My cross choke usually starts with my right hand.
etc...
Alright, so, I tried it and I actually have a problem. My damn leg gets stuck all the time. I get GOOD shoulder pressure. I untuck that lapel and grab it by the arm pit. Excellent control. But then I had a couple of different guys just clamp onto my leg and I had a hell of a time trying to get it out. Still going to work on it, just wanted to drop in my updated .02.
