is there a risk of the opponent getting the crossface and closing in and putting you in a side control? The leg across their hip doesn't seem like it could stop the opponent if they have a strong angle. Obviously I'm doing something wrong here..
It looks like the initial false grip on the elbow will help change the direction of your opponent aided by the second grip on the bicep to pull the shoulder forward. I think with these grips you can direct your opponent towards the direction of your legs which should keep them being able to get chest to chest and pin you. I also think the flaring of the elbow is key to keeping that arm from being able to go around your head. Ultimately what will prevent them being able to cross face is the pressure you are putting down onto their shoulder, forcing them towards your legs. I hope this helps.
@@mylesweiss8420 yes this makes a lot of sense. I'm going to give it a go the next opportunity. I think your point about being very intentional about pushing the opponent down to the legs might be where I am lacking. Thanks, really appreciate it!

This is golden. Defending a guard pass with a choi bar is genius!! 🥋
Very good instructions. The details of the grips were gems.
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback!
Pure gem, the mecanics behind the grips are very effective.
Thank you
