So, let’s say you’ve made it up to what we called Step 4 in the over/under tutorial. That is, you’ve got your arms in position, you’ve dropped your right knee outside your opponent’s left leg, and you’ve driven forward with your shoulder in his midsection; then trouble strikes. You go to pull off that crucial shucking of your opponent’s legs, but they just won’t go. What do you do?
As Coach Dan demonstrates in the video above, the short answer is: back-step and reset. The long answer is this:
- You’re stuck on your opponent’s knee. His shin is across your lap, like a seat-belt. You can keep trying to shuck his legs to your left, as you pivot right, but he’ll most likely keep the knee there and rotate with you. The trick is getting past that knee.
- So, Back-step. Keep your weight rooted through your right shoulder. Throw your left leg up and back over your right. That’ll get your hips past that pesky knee. Your shoulder should keep your opponent flat on his back and uncomfortable.
- If you stop there, you lose. Reset immediately. That is, get that left leg back over your right, close to where it was initially. Only now, you’re past your opponent’s legs.
- Get that left knee of yours into your opponent’s hip, get your left elbow into his opposite hip, and work your way to good side control.
There it is. Next time, we’ll look at one more way to end this over/under pass. If you’re interested in training live with Coach Dan and his team, stop by Black Diamond Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Peacedale.
I always appreciate a great article or piece of writing. Thanks for the contribution.

WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..more wait .. …
I in addition to my friends ended up going through the great tips and hints from your web site then all of the sudden got a horrible suspicion I never thanked the web blog owner for them. All of the men happened to be warmed to study them and already have without a doubt been using them. Thanks for genuinely considerably considerate and for settling on some high-quality tips most people are really needing to learn about. My honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to you earlier.
Thanks on your marvelous posting! I definitely enjoyed reading it, you might be a great author.I will make certain to bookmark your blog and will often come back in the future. I want to encourage that you continue your great job, have a nice weekend!

That is the appropriate blog for anyone who wants to search out out about this topic. You understand a lot its almost laborious to argue with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!

I agree with you. I laughed out loud to mesylf about the part about missing time and allowing the other students to get an edge over you. It IS frustrating. I often miss big amounts of time due to my work schedule. Showing up is half the battle. I would also add to your list the quality of humility. If you show up with a big head, the more advanced students will sense that and they will -as they should- make things more difficult for you. Come to learn, be respectful, and do not be afraid to tap! You often learn way more by getting tapped than you do by smashing on everyone. Enjoying the blog bro. Porra!!

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Hello! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
Hah. Awesome. Now the spam comments are copping an attitude. Keep ‘em coming, spam-generators.
Hello there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group? There’s a lot of people that I think would really appreciate your content. Please let me know. Cheers
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on Google for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my website . Thanks =)
The grammar/syntax/rate of speed/level are aboelutsly all part of it, and I plan to wax a little more poetic about it and then talk about teaching methodology and how it can be aboelutsly applied to the BJJ classroom. It would be nice if all BJJ instructors had some solid methodology behind them.I wonder if there are any foreign language teachers who also teach BJJ and if they have been able to maintain the same teaching philosophy or if their classrooms are run similarly. I suppose I have 10-15 years before *I* can find out
Thanks to your plagiarizing another blog’s comments, spambot, I’ve now been turned on a good blog about the relationship between BJJ and ESL. Did you know I’m also a certified ESL teacher? I am. Anyway, here’s the blog this comment was poached from: http://jiujiubjj.com/2010/07/25/similarities-between-bjj-and-esl-part-1/.
