Executing the limp arm technique from half guard with an underhook:
- When the opponent applies pressure, it's difficult to roll backwards due to their momentum.
- With an underhook secured, rotate the knuckles towards the opponent's buttocks, ensuring the hand turns accordingly.
- Drop the shoulder and elbow, then swing the arm around with force to create momentum.
- The goal is to make the opponent's head go down, allowing for a transition to their back.
- If the opponent face plants and turns back into you, use this moment to either take their back or put them down.
- When facing a strong whizzer from the opponent, the limp arm can be particularly effective for back takes.
- It's important to perform the limp arm with a lot of momentum, not slowly, for it to be effective in live situations.
- If after the limp arm the opponent turns into you and you can't take their back, it's an opportune time to attach to their forward leg and execute a takedown.
