For those not understanding why this works, it makes your grip-shoulder distance longer and gets your head and shoulders further away from his hips, diminishing the power of his sprawl and giving you the extra movement needed to rebuild and hit your next move.
Since you did the Woodley video, I've been using this technique for Jiu Jitsu to wrestle up off the bottom. It's been a solid addition to my game. Thank you for the breakdown.
literally did the same. went to brazil and was wrestling up from bottom on guys 30+ lbs heavier than me (i'm a small guy) using the S grip cut back / double
I do a very similar grip when I'm extended with very good results. Rather than one palm up and one down to make the s grip, my left hand (outside arm for this purpose) will be palm down and my right hand will reach around and grab my left hand perpendicular to my right hand and I'll be covering my fingers/knuckles and pull it into the leg. It doesn't require as much flexibility in the hands and forearms as the s grip when fully extended.
Ive been teaching it since i saw it work on burroughs in that match you showed but im gonna call it S-grip now instead of the Jockstrap lock, which i didnt like anyway but it described it. Anyway S-grip is the way forward.
@@danielcadwell9812 my outside hand was the bottom hand and because of that it opened up opportunities for my drill partner to elevate the elbow and put lots of pressure on my shoulder

Rei Higuchi seems to be just grabbing his wrist, and he's very good at recovery imo. Maybe the grip itself is not so important? Just asking your opinion on this...
I would have to see how extended he was. If you watch the Jacob Woodley video you’ll see that he also grabs his own wrist a lot but switches once he becomes more extended/forehead hits the mat
Another amazing video. Regarding the grip, should the hand of the arm wrapping on the outside of the leg be palm facing towards you or palm facing outward?
