Preventing the Slam

We've all seen the highlight tapes, guy on the bottom goes for an armbar or triangle, guy on top picks up guy on bottom - slams him on his head and presto chango the bottom guy is Ko'ed or forced to abandon his submission attempt. Here is a useful counter.

Step 1

Eddie is in my closed guard, I set up the triangle

Step 2

I capture Eddie in the beginning of a triangle choke

Step 3

Eddie begins to stand up - to prepare himself to lift me up and slam me to the ground

Step 4

I spin on my shoulders and underhook Eddie's right leg, from here I could attempt to finish the triangle, throw my right leg over for the arm bar or...

Step 5

I could also drive my legs to the right to force Eddie to the Mat, I could finish the choke here or...

Step 6

I could switch to an arm bar.

I like how in the slam defence you tighten the triangle.

"Tap snap or nap." -The submission fighters moddo and threat, but most of all its our way of life.

Tank-Jitsu

yeah, i like that too. i like how Riggs used it in his last fight in UFN 6.

I learned this move a few years ago at a seminar and I forgot all about it. Then just yesterday I was looking at a judo book from the 1960's and this technique was in there and now today I see it on the website. Serendipity is weird isn't is?

Sometimes Im amazed at how much I don't know. Then I remember Im an idiot.

So the rubber didn't go as planned. Oh well, it's only $30.

Odwala - don't worry, after you've been slammed a few times you'll remember!

A good move, I used it yesterday actually. One point that I do that I learned from Eddie Bravo's book was to keep hold of whether you are going for the armbar or triangle. It keeps them from being able to effectively scramble out of the hold.

Oh Damn!

submission brawler

i have had it done to me but i have never tryed it........( then agian i am a bit heavy to slam...lmao)

beautiful tech!!!!!!!!

this one actually came naturally to me the first time someone tried to slam me when i put them in a triangle. i just went right for the nearest leg, pushed my own legs up and swept them over, then just went for the armbar. i love this.

I like the sub you get

i like to take the triangle from the angle, it's easy for him to pick you up when you're aligned with him.
