I had the pleasure of training with Dom in Lisbon prior to Euros. I wanna say this was in 2017. A learning experience for me (as in, I learned that a professional competitor can crush me practically at will 😂).
Nope. That’s never a good thing but pulling the opponent’s hip one way and twisting his head the other direction will usually put you at an advantage. Saulo Ribeiro and Romulo Barral liked this version of the kneecut.
Underhook is not your arm under his arm it’s your shoulder getting under his shoulder. His deep cross face grip prevents him getting a proper underhook
