A good reaction from your opponent whenever your going for the reach around is to switch their hip.
ย
This comes up if your unable to solidify the octopus guard (OG) before they react to it.
ย
For some guys hip switching is their first response.
ย
So the question is then, โHow do we escape from being flattened out?โ
ย
The Position
- This is one of the worst possible positions for you be caught in. Just after having your back taken from the octopus guard
- Your back is to the mats, both arms are exposed over your shoulders and your legs have been taken out of the equation
The Escape
- grab the lat of your opponent (0:02) and place your knee against their chest (0:06)
- the objective is to create momentum since youโll be stuck in a pretty immobile position
- you create momentum backwards so that your opponent will have a natural reaction to go forwards. They do this to prevent a sweep or to keep you in place
- the momentum is created by swinging your body forward
- 0:14 - having successfully off-balanced your opponent you can:
- attempt to take the back
- go back into neutral
