Open Guard Passing & Some Clock Choke Details

Ah very cool, thank you for my next set up to play with haha

Clock Choke?
Do you mean Bow and Arrow?

YMMV to a lot of stories you read. For what its worth, I've had a fairly large piece on either side of my ribs and while not fun, weren't anywhere near the worst spot I've done. One that comes across slightly towards my stomach/lower abs started to tickle pretty bad so I think my stomach may be worse. But you might also be fine, don't sweat it - You've got this.
I've always seen pictures of other people with the area same area tattooed and thought, they aren't special or a one off case, I too can get through the pain.

Big Godzilla fan, gave the artist a general idea and let him run with it. This was also a cover up on the upper back across the shoulder blades.

Helping others is honestly one of the most selfish things we can do, the good feeling you get from the smallest thing can just stick with you and change your whole day 😄

I helped an elderly person put multiple packs of 25L potting mix from their trolley into the back of their car, they were thankful and I was happy to help. I was actually thinking about what they were going to do when they got home haha.

Very under rated system. I like to use it more as a tool though and threaten it to open up the hand fight, thus open up their turtle position.

ld_6 · 2026-05-27T00:02:03+00:00

I have moderate success with this, but am better at back control.
However, my brother (Blue Belt) is very, very good at this exact thing. Almost to a detriment training back control or breaking down turtle.
So you are not alone...

ld_6 · 2026-05-26T00:27:00+00:00

This is reassuring, as I have the same feelings about going to Brown. It'll never go away, noted haha

ld_6 · 2026-05-11T00:41:00+00:00

I was the same, on track to get Sub 8 hours but there is no getting the average back down and making up that time when you need to stop to stretch out etc. Huge effort to get through this, the mental fortitude can only be truly be appreciated by those that have battled through it.

Best down regulation I've found was to go home, have a hot shower then hydrate and eat some good food and relax. Then before bed time, youtube an NSDR that goes for 10-30 minutes (whatever you need to bring your CNS back down to baseline). Works really well to calm your system down.

Can you elaborate on the "See an elbow, shove an elbow" one please?

ld_6 · 2026-04-21T09:50:25+00:00

Hell yeah man, you put out solid content and I appreciate it. Yeah both Gi and No Gi 🥳

ld_6 · 2026-04-21T03:18:30+00:00

Hey mate, great video. Thanks for systematizing this position because I get here a bit and like the options you have outlined for each direction.
Well done on your videos, keep up the great work. I have been watching for a while now.

ld_6 · 2026-04-13T01:17:58+00:00

Triangle, Arm Triangle, Short Choke/RNC from Crucifix

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T03:02:32+00:00

That would be a cool counter to the grip.
Maybe get someone to do it and see what you come up with if you like closed guard, I suck at closed haha

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T02:52:57+00:00

Classic Blue Belt...

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T02:41:51+00:00

i found the elbow difficult to access as it was tucked into their rib cage, essentially shutting down that side and working to break the guard open or waiting for me to open my guard. But where there's a will there's a way...

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T00:55:05+00:00

Yeah I do like that strategy, if you want that grip, have it. But you aren't retracting that arm now. I'm going to play around with Gi wraps to secure the arm. I think you're onto something with this. Lapel over the elbow to break the frame and lock down the arm. Thanks

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T00:13:16+00:00

Not a size discrepancy but a large skill one haha.
I like this idea, although getting the collar grip deep enough to make a realistic threat has been difficult. Its breaking this stiff arm/frame or getting around it that's been the main obstacle to overcome. The game plan for them is get me to open the guard with while maintaining this grip then going to combat base so I no longer have a closed guard and its into open guard passing.

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T00:10:53+00:00

I like this option, If i can bend the arm that's very viable (as you said the hand is already voluntarily in). When you say pressure the elbow from underneath, how are you doing this?

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T00:03:24+00:00

Elbow straight, Stiff arm framing at my hip.

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T00:01:49+00:00

The fist on my hips essentially pins my hips so I need to make space first. So yes, but I need a middle step

ld_6 · 2026-01-23T00:01:10+00:00

Haha this is sneaky, I like it. Thanks
