Jitsu Lee i agree with this comment

[@sovannpen]

Your videos are really good Lachlan! Learning a ton!

[@romelominga1980]

Wow great video

[@bogasni]

Hey Lachlan I'm not sure if I should ask you this here but as you were very helpful in all other videos and reddit so I'm just gonna try lol. I have a problem with when getting to the saddle from bottom with the butterfly 'backstep' method. It's maybe hard to understand what I'm trying to say but Gordon Ryan and Craig used this entry a lot in EBI's and ADCC. It's the one where you let's say have your left butterfly in and get the opponent to stack you, invert and backstep with the right leg to get into the saddle. While I mostly can manage to get the right leg in and lock the triangle for the saddle I can never get the opponent to tip over... So what happens is I've got the saddle position but with them stacked on top off me while essentially sprawling their legs and grabbing my head to stay in position. Sometimes I can power through grab the leg and pull as hard as possible and they would tip over but this isn't technical at all and only works against guys smaller than me to be honest. Craig ones said that I had to watch the Jake Shields match to see the counter to that but to be honest it doesn't seem Jake is doing the thing I'm describing not sure though... Thanks in advance love your videos!

[@AbsoluteMMAStKilda]

Hi Bogasni, its really hard to describe in writing. You need to make sure you focus on the scissor action of your legs more than the triangle. Pull your bottom leg as close as you can to your chest, and your top pushes away. Then you can lock the triangle and flare to tip them over.

Hey Lachlan love ya videos. I’m struggling with one thing in the honey hole. At 4:00 your partner has his hands on the mat. Some people power up really hard and go into a leg drag variation on top of me. How can I keep them down? Thanks heaps

[@MemoirsMoviola]

Awesome!

[@journtang]

Hey Lach, when you vs Dion and Seth why do you place your bottom leg on top of the hip rather than keeping the leg triangle?

[@Charles-vi5cg]

I'd like to know the same thing

[@AbsoluteMMAStKilda]

Just something i'm playing with at the moment. Have a look at the way I escape the saddle, then tell me if you think my opponent would be able to do the same thing to me when I feed my leg through.

[@jaredzambelli8456]

if they pass your leg your completely screwed

[@AbsoluteMMAStKilda]

Pass your leg?

[@bluefalcon182]

I have the same question (love the videos BTW). Are you pummeling your bottom leg through to the top of their far hip to stop them from pummeling their far leg into the body triangle to escape?

[@diggocombs4548]

Are all Austrailians Stoners?
