Seeking technical advice
Hey guys,
I’m struggling with a big guy at the gym. Substantially larger and stronger than I am (+25-30kgs).
I’m able to maintain top position, but really struggling to deal with his shelled up defence when he’s on his back or side - arms crossed defending his neck and elbows tight. Very much struggle to get a wrist grip, gift wrap, seatbelt etc - can’t budge him or even one arm to isolate one. Fantastic defensive discipline, just very frustrating to play against.
Knee on belly did illicit some response but ideally when I’ve put pressure through the near side shoulder and forced him to go onto his side basically exposing the back - I’d like to be able to get some decent upper body control so I can take the back more confidently.
To clarify - I don’t want to attack his legs, I’m hoping there might be a simple solution so I can move toward getting a gift wrap, arm isolation or decent cross face
Any ideas, tips, recommended instructionals?
