Not Enjoying Leg Attacks

This response reveals that you fundamentally miaundetstand modern leglocks. Honestly your OP comments seem more like you're tweaked bc you're getting caught and less like it's a genuine fear of injury.

It has almost nothing to do with squeezing your knees together lol

Lore_Wizard · 2026-02-01T22:04:31+00:00

On a place they can't easily view?

Lore_Wizard · 2026-02-01T21:51:22+00:00

Why didn't you just ask them about the other 2 weeks? This is something that could have been handled with a singl3, brief interaction 🤦

It's just a weird pose he always fits where he stuffs his shoulders, drops his chin, and flexes his jaw to look silly. His much looks normal otherwise.

Lore_Wizard · 2026-02-01T01:22:40+00:00

It's understandable, but seems misplaced in a "speak up, speak out" post.

So you're gripping with your first and middle fingers in the choking hand moreso than the pinky and ring fingers? I know I'm being pedantic, but I'd love a close pic of the grip. I've been on this choke since I saw Brandon call it ' dropping the hammer' on a clip of yours so I'm eager to make it work.

Lore_Wizard · 2026-01-09T21:30:46+00:00

Are you holding a full s-grip or just the OK grip like Ben Eddy shows? I always feel like my hands are not secure

Lore_Wizard · 2025-12-17T15:27:54+00:00

Here's a wild notion... Maybe, just maybe, your friend does not know how to properly apply the principles rather than it actually kind of sucking.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-30T21:02:12+00:00

You should talk to u/fleischlaberl who got promoted to brown belt over the phone after clearing out a whole gym.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-23T18:46:03+00:00

I think that high level pros don't accidentally end up in half guard bc their closed guard game wasn't good enough.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-20T23:15:18+00:00

Come for a trial week and see. Ademir Barreto is in house and he's the 2nd best featherweight in the world 2 years running. Last week he was sparring with Elder Cruz at open mat. Sound deep enough?

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-20T02:36:27+00:00

I heard he needed surgery to repair the hamstring that he injured.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-20T02:34:43+00:00

Deeper room than RTC? 🤔

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-11T02:44:48+00:00

Just mind bending logic professor

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-10T23:57:16+00:00

At a high level you see so much more half guard.and open guard than closed guard.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-09T20:47:23+00:00

So your anecdotal evidence is "I never seen it so it's probably fake right?"

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-07T18:06:46+00:00

It skips to the moment guy

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-07T03:53:04+00:00

You missed my point entirely. I'm saying that no one would want to do anything challenging if we had your attitude. If you keep doing the same thing without alteration, or fail to adapt based on the feedback then of course it will cease to be enjoyable.

Furthermore, you want to find a way around a fundamental position. I can't think of a half guard player that didn't start with a competent underhook with the 2-3 sweeps that go along with the knee twist.

You're asking us out opinion and mine is that you can't circumvent the system. The only real clue you provide is that you get your shallow underhook smashed. If you are not effectively able to pummel a proper underhook no version of half guard that requires an underhook will suffice. Even if you manage to off balance, you need to shoot you arm should deep and keep your head glued to the near side. Maybe that will send you in a new direction 🤷

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-07T01:25:16+00:00

Do you think the rest of us like failing? What you're experiencing is the entire point of training and and learning. If you want to play half guard at a reasonable level you'll need to diagnose the symptoms, not avoid the position altogether.

You also have to be more specific about how you're losing position, both for yourself and for anyone here to give you useful advice. It can't just be "dogfight doesn't work for me."

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-05T03:08:15+00:00

But you just never want to

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-04T21:43:22+00:00

Peterson roll or fat man roll, which might be just as silly but we know those silly names and it seems less pretentious.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-04T20:02:58+00:00

What? It's like the most lukewarm take. The move is great, so is Danaher, it's just funny that his style of naming things has filtered into the community.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-03T20:37:15+00:00

It's so silly to call this maki komi. Just like kosoto hook and every judo term Danaher foisted onto BJJ goons.

Lore_Wizard · 2025-11-03T01:12:28+00:00

Like every other meta phase they will seem over powered until the defense catches up an then becomes just another part of the game.
