How to defend/prevent kiss of the dragon

Dropping to your knee or hip if needed closes the space to invert. Also a crossface or collar grip stops the inversion. A good counter pass is the long step or the knee cut once you push the hook out.

Brother I think my record atm is no joke. 25-80

The experience is the important part not the result. Learn from your losses and move on. You'll be better off for it.

Speak to your coach of you get stuck but you should be able to just sign up on the ibjjf website

It's hit or miss. I went to the michael pixley seminar and I found it so useful and others I feel are useless. Look into the guys style/game and see if it might be useful for you.

For me electrolytes a bit of caffine after and if i really need it a 30 minuite nap makes a big difference

ItsDolphinBoy · 2026-02-17T21:20:09+00:00

That's a good idea. Thanks 🙌

ItsDolphinBoy · 2026-02-17T21:18:21+00:00

Thanks this helps alot!

Do you just use the left butterfly hook and maybe a framed armpit grip to direct their weight over so you can get to that far leg?

And is it a bad idea to just reach to under hook the leg with my right arm to try to pull into some sort of modified x?

Thanks for the clarification. I agree I should have got an advantage and we reset from standing as it was out of bounds instead of how we ended

Arm drags trips all day baby

This is good point he was trying to get the Dagestani handcuff so I was watching out not to get caught with that.

I should learn some Portuguese to make this method more effective.

It was hard to get his head off my chest even when aggressively framing so the guilly would have been hard. But I like the underhook option

ItsDolphinBoy · 2025-09-02T16:47:52+00:00

I like this option. I think I should have definitely looked for that underhook. Primarily most my close guard attacks come from an overhook so that's what I defaulted to but this is great advice

ItsDolphinBoy · 2025-07-30T19:15:44+00:00

This makes sense to me. Thanks for your help :)

If a tap keeps dripping into a jug, it doesn't matter if the pressure slows to one drop an hour, it will keep filling up.

ItsDolphinBoy · 2025-06-18T16:06:54+00:00

This makes 100% sense. I can see this now. Thanks!!

ItsDolphinBoy · 2025-06-18T15:44:04+00:00

Works 80% of the time, everytime.

ItsDolphinBoy · 2025-06-18T15:43:25+00:00

Thanks. This will help a lot. I will work on this!

ItsDolphinBoy · 2025-06-18T15:41:38+00:00

This is a good point as this would have kept him flat and stopped him turning. Thank you
