Getting the back
from Clock Setup
Bud Bruttsman is the victim this week!
Silverado is on top setting up the clock choke. Problem: Bud is defending
very well and, in addition to that, he does not have a gi. Notice how
the base is wide and the body is constantly pushing Bud, so he is always
off balance.
Silverado hops from his right to his left knee. Pay attention to how close
that knee is to Bud's. It is very important that Silverado keeps his leg
flush against Bud's. He will be sitting in a way that Bud's body will
roll over that leg. If the leg is not flush, it won't work.
Always keeping close control of Bud's upper body, Silverado pulls Bud
over his left leg dropping to his side.
As soon as Silverado hits the ground the first (top) hook is in. Notice
the direction his foot and knee are pointed.
Keeping the same tight control, Silverado sways his body slightly to the
right to make way for his bottom leg to secure the second hook.
Again, knees and feet
are pointed forward. Silverado is pressing his heels against Bud's thighs
and at the same time squeezing his knees together, putting pressure on
Bud's diaphragm.
Time for Silverado to arch his back, pushing his hips against Bud's lower
back. At this point Bud's reactions are slower and any finishing hold
will have an increased chance of success.
Keep on Training!
