Combat Jiu Jitsu and the State of Grappling in MMA

As a wrestler/mma focused grappler I love flattening guys out with the hooks but absolutely hate when they roll and I end up on the back, but on the bottom. I'm always worried I'm going to lose the handfight and have them turn in on me (it happened to Chuck Olives vs Chandler, it can happen to you), and then I'm going to have to use a bunch of energy scrambling up from guard. This weekend I started playing the body triangle with the hook on the far thigh, to come back up on top, like you highlight Ethan using in the article, and I was killing guys with it! Only problem - I don't have super long legs, and I'm a welterweight who rolls with a lot of middle/light heavies. Anyone got any similar techniques to regain top when on the bottom back when all you have is hooks, because they're too big to body triangle?

Great article. I like ebi better as well but I am down for some cjj

just missing the slap bet from how i met your mother. very good article as usual

Excellent article as usual Slacky J

Great article I wonder if the striking will evolve too, for instance the bladed side of the hand may allow striking from different angles And perhaps to differentiate locations than only the head

This article is pure gold

Thank fuck, perfect timing. I was having to listen to Morning Kombat.

Bruh, excellent article. Love the writing you've been doing.
