Yeah, that looks okay. But like these grips are not going to hold, especially if you’re sweating position. We’re in a circle, right? And then we’re going to dig this on the hook. Okay. Keep the forehead here. Keep it very tight. Oh, Sensei, how are you? No judo. So hot right now. I think the hype has kind of died down a little bit, right? Do you hear about that now? No judo. That was a whole thing for a little bit. I think it’s still important. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know if people are talking about it as much, but you can always watch that. That’s true. That’s true. All right. All right. So, I want to talk about control positions first. Right? A lot of time I see noi judo stuff online. It’s like, “All right, guys. You’re going to go wrist and head and then you’re going to do all your normal judo stuff off of this.” Right? Look, fake forward, oi, circle, dashi, osto. Yeah, that looks okay, but like these grips are not going to hold. Especially if you’re sweaty. This just does not work. I think you see this. You ever see this? I don’t. But I think you’re right. I like this one. All right, guys. This is what we’re going to do. We’re going to go for harosi off this instead of grabbing a column. So you’re going to go here and here and you’re going to go right like this. Let me tell you, I wrestled. That’s not going to work. All right. So what does work? You need a better connection, right? Better connection, better control positions, and you want to keep these things, right? And I like the idea of closed loops. But before we go into that, we’re going to just talk about under hooks. Quick commercial break. Check out.com. We got all the exciting things happening. Lots of new products coming. Took a little bit of a break because of the terrace. We have to figure things out. But we have geese, shirts, tatami sandals. Boom. This is tatami sandal. Actual vinyl material. Feel that. These are the exact tatami skins that you have that you’re walking around training on all the time. Tatami sandals is going to be absolutely amazing. We have a mystery discount for you. So check it out. Hagashibrand.com. Thank you so much for your ongoing support as always. Oh, under hooks is the key, right? I go wrist. This is a little bit more sticky because look, we have a lot stronger of a connection. And then from here, even if I lose this wrist, I could go pinch headlock position. You’re pretty good at that, right? You have a whole thing on it. I like it. Right. So, first, how to get to this under hook, right? Good question. And you’ve seen these videos. You’re in your wrestling stance. All right, guys. We’re going to go here, here, here. Okay. Yeah, that’s good. But try some other ways. This is sort of this new set of thing that I’m doing. I’m going to show four or five different things and then you’re just going to cycle through them and try them all. Okay. First, we’re wrestling. We have inside wrist position, dip the shoulder, under hook. Great. Wrist control elbow in under hook. Head position. Okay. That’s another one. What does it say? We’re gonna force this front headlock position. We’re gonna circle, right? And then we’re gonna dig this under hook. Okay, keep the forehead here. Keep the very tight. Three simple ways to get an under hook, right? And you kind of cycle through them, you know, right? Sometimes you have collie, over tie, right? With it like this, using that shoulder to dip the shoulder down, work this under hook. All right? So, a couple different ideas. And I think the best way to get the most return for these kinds of technical videos is to try out all these. have four or five different options. And now it’s all right. We’re going to try to work all of them, right? With a little bit of an active resistance, right? Two on one here. Working the elbow to the inside. All right. Just kind of going back and forth, right? And then putting it all together. Right. Sense. Okay. So, that’s my first step. Unhook position. I’m going to show a little bit of a minieries from here. Okay. From here to go into a direct throw, I feel like it’s always going to be very difficult. So, we’re going to use this inside tatoshi to bump this leg. And now from here, I could put the foot together, go sort of to the far side. Option one say bump right here. Right. That’s two. Right. Think it looks like the bump sensing like you’re going to anchor down really hard on this elbow. Oh my god. I can’t lift this arm. And nice and simple, right? We have a action reaction. Two or three different options. But the biggest problem for me is what happens when we go to the ground. Are you going to show some stuff? Show some stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we’ll do a teaser on this channel. Okay. And then we’ll have the part two. Yeah. Under hooks. We can talk about under hooks on the bottom deal that very similar but not exactly. Oh. So, all right. So, you want to show one quick thing and then we’ll take Shadow. Yeah. Okay. So out of any situation where we are on the ground, so we get taken down. Let’s just say a situation where we get taken down here. So I have an over hook. I get knocked down here and we end up in a position like this. Here we are. Our partner has the under hook. We have our hands on the inside. What we want to do is we want to pummel our hand through. And so what you’re always taught to do is if they have the under hook, well, you want to pummel through to the under hook. But it never really works out that way because as you start to take your hand through the space, you either get your partner repummeling, right? And then you just kind of get in this endless battle, which is no good because you’re on the bottom. You’re carrying the guy’s weight. He’s advancing forward, or worse, sometimes you get kind of stuck here and the guy ends up starting to uh uh kind of sag on this arm. Your arm gets stuck here. You’re now getting flattened out. The guy drives you forward and starts pinning you, okay? Passing your leg. you’ve got all sorts of stuff. So, when we’re here, instead of going directly for the under hook, just like when we were in the standing position, we’re going to hit an e- lever. So, we’re going to take our arm and we’re going to block our partner’s elbow. If they have a high under hook here, you’re going to go elbow over elbow. If they have a lower under hook here, you’re just going to close your arm. Okay? You can put your hand down here. Sometimes people say they call us the John Wayne sweep. Okay? Because your hands going down towards your hip like you’re reaching for your holster. Oh, I didn’t know that’s why. Yeah. Yeah. I think Yeah. It’s not a name I use called a knee lever, but here, grab it. Reaching for your Okay. And then heels come back here and we connect. He’s very important. You got to block your partner’s knee. When we go to hit the knee lever here, in an ideal world, we’ll take our partner all the way over, get up on top. But with good people, it’s often very difficult. So, we hit this knee lever. We get a little bit of a base. And now, it’s relatively easy for you to pummel your arm through. When you take this under hook, don’t flatten out. Bring your partner a little bit forward. Okay. Now, from here, we’ve got a meaningful under hook. one where we can take our grip around our partner’s waist, around our partner’s leg. You can reach up high by your partner’s neck. And then if they go to put the whizzer on, now you’re into a whole series where we’re working to sweep our partner and knocking them over and you’ve got something meaningful. So, just like in the standing position going directly for the under hook, it’s really difficult from the bottom. You need some form of kazushi or a setup. Just like you were saying in the standing position, it’s the same thing down on the ground. Both. Thanks.
