Pancake is flat like the earth

You gotta look into it.

😂

No. Keenan is actually good and comes up with techniques that work

@@xkidmidnightx royler, is that you?

Same goes for most any type of education. When I was in college I used to get a couple weeks ahead of the rest of the class so when the class was in session, I could ask very specific questions right in front of the instructor so the entire class would get information. Beats the hell out of waiting a week or two and realizing you are stuck and don't know what to do!

Jucao!!

Cody Mack In all of my comments on all of my media profiles over the last year and a half you’re the first person to mention it! Where do you train at bro? I’m an AL USA under Professor Jason Darty

I’m in Baton Rouge Louisiana under professor Matt Pitts and Steven Oubre

Cody Mack Sweet man! I’ve heard of them, I hope we meet on the mats one day.

@Chris Wong Yeah, you can tell by the way he moves lol.

my sefu despises that. he makes sure to spend 1 on 1 time with white belts in every session. He even rolls with us. No rank stigma in our home 😁

Its always best to teach as if students know nothing, but don't treat them like idiots. They are willing to learn this game of chess.

Yes definitely.... If you don't keep scrambling. You can't secure an arm bar if you can't hold them in place long enough to set up. Unless they are a wizard.

There will be holes in your knowledge all the way to black belt and beyond, not a big deal

Same-side cuff grip has different pros and cons. In this particular defensive/escape context (someone is passing you, side smash position), it's generally a losing grip because: a) You won't be able to extend your arm far enough to force your opponent to overextend b) If you try to extend your arm all the way out and roll to your knees to escape, it leads to you turtling with your opponent on top of you. This isn't necessarily bad, but being in turtle with your arm sticking out is pretty risky. c) It's easy for the attacker to break your grip, (using their legs is a common method) d) If the attacker really likes scarfhold/kesa gatame positions, you're helping them set it up. It CAN be a winning grip in this context if you can yoink them off balance and force them to post on the hand you've got gripped, and force a sweep.

Look at Tommy Langaker's guard retention. He and Espen play collar and sleeve and hve amazing guard retention with the same side sleeve

Only if you have grip strength of the gods

This move is 10 years old. Created by jimmy Harbison

@@fritzdagger I'm curious why the word "guard" is used when a person is basically passed already and almost back mounted. It doesn't look like a guard or protective position?

@@adonitel5152 because you have the cross sleeve grip the person on top hasn't successfully passed guard yet giving space to escape

@@THIS---GUY interesting.. guard with hands

No. Telles and Pritt have a similar move too. You run the risk of being flipped over.

Morgan Didn't do it. Simply it stops them connecting their hands together so it’s difficult for them to establish an upper body control with 2 hands. #whitebeltlogic
