Defending a Single Hook from Turtle Position

I learned this from Phil Davis (former UFC fighter + Penn State wrestler).
Phil has really cool funky wrestling to study that carries over to Jiu Jitsu. Highly suggest searching him up, or stopping by his gym in San Diego where he teaches every day at 9am, Azteca Boxing Club San Diego

This is classic folk style wrestling and I 100% agree with your technique here. If you can get that wrist, you’re in good shape. If you can’t, the battle is harder, but this is the end result that you want. Nice job

100% folk style! Got to train with him San Diego couple weeks ago. Craig jones has a similar follow up when you can't get wrist control. I think he calls it a hip sit! Phil was saying he loves giving people the first hook and purposely letting them get longer and deeper with it. Found it a really dope concept had to share! Thanks for the comment coach breza, love your content!

@@southbostonbjj4767 yeah the key is to get that inside elbow between you and him. If the wrist not available, then you have to do a few things to shake them to one side-there are different schools of thought on this. I am not a big fan of teaching people to sit out, because then you don’t have the power of your legs. When someone sits out on me, I am using the power half to control them to where I can switch to the RNC. If they belly down, I will do the same thing. So, I would rather maintain my base and get the hell out of there. I use a number of ways, but sit outs for me were always a risky position against good leg riders. In wrestling, you got a crossface from hell coming your way…sometimes I will use that to set up a variation of a bulldog choke if they try to get to their own back. Just depends on what I am feeling. Thanks brother. Take care
