Flip Off The Guys That Hold You Down!

No, we aren't talking about giving the bird, this is a nice side control reversal from Jojo Guarin. Man, I hate being stuck on the bottom of cross body!!

I like this reversal, sometimes when I'm looking for the ghost escape or Marce choke I get stuck flat on my back. This seems to be a nice option to goto. Thanks to Jojo Guarin for the technique.

I must be missing something here, I tighten that overhook and push with that bridge as hard as I can and I'm 60 lbs bigger than the guy I'm working with and he just postures and this does nothing, is there something specific about the bridge that needs to be done?

I love this reversal. It works well in situations when the crossface+pressure is preventing the "ghost"/marce, or to force him to give up the crossface pressure in order to post out with his head-side hand and block the reversal.

Akirabob - if he can just posture back and settle his weight to block the sweep, try immediately going to the ghost escape, as if his weight is back he isn't keeping you from spinning under him.

Fair enough, I'll start working the chain to see what I can come up with. I've never been terribly good with bridge sweeps anyway. Thanks for the feedback.
