Around and Under Flashcards
(114 cards)
What should you do if they make grips you your legs while you are sitting up?
Lay down on your back
As you can then use your feet buy pummeling and use your arms to grip
When you fall back, establish a guard
Perhaps if they only get one grip then break it
What Postures that deny your opponent the pass?
Facing your opponent, if they go to the side of you face them
but don’t go all the way onto your side
Why should your keep Abs engaged and a stiff body
Stops them pulling your leg down and if they do manage to pull your leg down then if you are stiff your upper body will follow, this keeps your vulnerable parts protected
What should you do with your knees when lying down
Flared, If your knees are too close together then they can be mashed
Or pushed to one side
Where should your feet be when lying down?
Flared, If your knees are too close together then they can be mashed
Or pushed to one side
Where should your feet be when lying down?
Feet above a lifted butt
When they push on your feet then instead of sitting you up it
Just pushes your feet into your body
Why would we hip out? Visualise it
Sometimes wee will want to escape our hips out
Often by almost inverting, the object of this is to
Give you room to pummel your foot in or a knee sheild in if
They are closer. As soon as they start to get a bit of control,
hip out to enable the pummel
Where and how do we frame?
Frames should be pre-emptive! Always frame both shoulders (you can use a mixture of hands a feet to do this)
If you do not they can rotate out of the frame and get past it
Do not put feet on hips unless you have upper body control
Put feet on the biceps or shoulders
They are very hard to clear while op is engaged, this is why we
Often use push pull with established guards
So push into them with a frame but if they start to disengage and you get over extended,
retract the frame
What is good practice and positioning for leg frames? If they go under your legs? If they try a throwby? If they pummel under the bicep
Bicep frames- often keep them at the top of the bicep with your heel tucked into
their chest to stop them circling their hand in.
The correct foot positionings-
If they are trying to push into us or direct our feet to one side put feet on biceps
If they go under your legs- lasso your foot under their lat
If they pumel under your bicep frame with their hand, dig your
Heel into their chest and undenith their bicep
They they try to throwby- put your foot on the outside
What may you have to do with your Shin angle for pummeling
Sometimes you will haxe to chop your shin inside to repumel
Where should you put Arm frames, how do you make room for them, U grip use? Gi specific frames?
Frame on what ever they lead with, shoulder, leg bicep, legs
Making room to get frames in- retract and move forward your shoulder, moxe your upper body away
Use the flat hand use the grip use the ball of the hand, you want the maximum distance possible
If you use the U grip, this can stop them moving side to side as easy
Gi specific frames
Which ever side collar you grab you are preventing that shoulder from coming towards you
When making collar grips as frames do so on the collar bone to frame them away, you can al
Also redirect knuckles onto the throat to really push them away
Sleeve grips,
Often used double under, push them away when doing this
What is the three step sequence to Off balance to recover
- Load
- collapse
Off balance
- collapse
When should you let them hug the head, Why? Exceptions?
Never, They can turn your head away and you lose power
However if they hug your head when you have good leg positioning
This is bad for them, you can use armbars etc
No gi it is hard to connect to them without the head or body lock
How to avoid getting your leg pinned or cleared?
- Always have your foot pointing upwards and heel facing up an toe down to prevent the pin in the first place
- If you start to feel your leg getting pinned take your head to the Pinned leg a moze your hips away/ inevert for a second and then reset the angle
- Put your arm under that leg to assit it before it gets pinned palm up and
- Thumb on the outside
- This is premptive
- I call this the SIDE SCISSOR
As they come around to the side of you track them with your side scissor leg
How should you hip escape?
Not by putting your top foot on the floor
In general this will open your ribs up too much
On occasion it is ok to put your bottom inside foot on the floor
Instead high pummel or if you are turning away to and your top foot becomes the bottom foot
When to sit up escape?
POP UP When they are pulling down on your legs
Do not do when they have strong upped body controls
It is a good idea to do when they are on the hips
How to avoid them twisting your spine?
SPINE ALIGHN If your legs do ever get turned in the wrong direction you must turn your body with your legs bringing your head towards your legs and recover with a near inversion
This is very much like the response to the leg getting pinned
Explain all the planes of the leg dab
LEG DAB Have one leg high and one leg low this stops them from controling your legs in the same plain, have them active, constantly swap the low and high leg
This also makes it easier to point the sole of the foot, you often want the knees flared to do to this
You can control what way you turn by how far you put your leg back, you must be flexible to do this
Your leg put at different angles in the horizontal plain
How are your elbow used in guard retention? 3 points
- Self framing the knees to stop your legs getting pushed to the floor, use your other leg wisely
- Moving your body- You can take your hips to and away from your elbow as needed
- Base- Often one of your elbows will be on the ground when another will be framing, gives you a good base and stops them tillting you as much
What are your two Late stage options
Two options-
Turn into them, the best option Coming up to the single leg
Or
Roll away
Should you ever Push against a stack or Invert when your oppolent is on you?
No
When should you Gangorra/granby roll? X 2
When they get to the side of you and they turn your hips away from them it is used to roll over and end up facing them while sitting
Or if your are facing away from them on your side but you want to be facing them Gongoa over and end up on your side facing them
How should you Gangorra/granby roll?
Tuck your foot in, bringing it to your body, then bring your head to your foot, rolling onto your shoulder with your elbow into yourside this lets you push off the ball of your foot to lift your hips and send yourself over
Keep your hips low with minimal back exposure
Get your head deep underneath sliding and folding your upper body right underneath your legs
You can be framing them away with your top hand as you are send over
4 steps to High pummel? 1 common mistake
When they get to the side of you or turn you away it lets you square up and create distance with op
- Maintain a frame with extended arm if possible
Aim is to get your hips facing your oppolent while moveing them further away - Use your elbow to frame off the mat
- Crunch your abs and use the pendulum motion to swing your leg overOften You should not be falling flat on your back, but towards your bottom leg away from them, this momentum makes it easier to swing over
- get you leg as high as possible, over your head if you can. Throw your leg as high as you can over your head letting your hips come off, use the pendulum action to turn in towards him and lift your hip up
- You can sometimes your arm on your shin to reineforce it
A common mistake is to not initially fall away from them and not using the elbow on the mat
