The issue I've been having with this pass is at 2:40. Why would the blue player just let go of the sleeve? All the experienced guys that I roll with know that that's their only lifeline to defend themselves when I try this pass. I haven't experienced what Professor Gurgle says, "I can take this arm away..." because my partner's refuse to release the grip. The position stalls out at 2:40. The only luck I've had is when I turn my collar grip into a breadcutter/stack choke from that position, which loses its effectiveness the darker the belt color and the greater the flexibility of my opponent. Any thoughts on how to convince them that it's not in their best interest to hold that sleeve grip?
When you're getting skilled at weight distribution and put serious pressure on the opponent, he'll realize that holding on to a nullified lasso hook is inferior to trying to reguard in whatever way possible. I use this pass a lot of times, but if you're really stuck in this situation try this out: You lock up the lasso, just as Fabio shows, holding the lapel. You kill the spider hook, and pin it into the mat with your grip (behind the knee so they won't reposition the spider). Now instead of going for the stack, you make a torreando pass motion to the other side over the trapped spider leg. It's a swift pass rather than a pressure pass which blends in perfectly with the stack. Let them keep their lasso grip, torreando pass and make them suffer! Good luck, hope this helps ossss Instead
He’s crushing them. He’s not just stacking them a bit. He’s moved them onto the back of their head, and he’s using his knees to elevate the lower back. There’s a ton of pressure driving forward, they won’t want to just stall there.
On the time 3:06 I would like him to climb the collar with his right hand and pull with the left elbow as he grabs it, to increase pressure on the neck.
