Instead of fighting over knee throws I'll never use in a real fight, I've been pulling guard a lot when rolling (no gi) and realize my bottom game sucks. This is everything I know:
don't be flat
dinosaur arms
roll towards them not away
put a knee in to create space
try to get an underhook, don't give him an underhook or he'll get yr back
bucking/shrimping
My underhook doesn't always work and although I can usually get 'em to post by bucking I have a really hard time getting any kind of escape in unless it's just by putting a knee up and shrimping out.
(I'm kind of at the point where I think any good positioning I get has nothing to do with my skill level or solid positioning or even knowledge of positioning, but works just because it's unexpected and I'm sneaky... LOL Like I can sometimes sneak into high mount or sneak past guard with limited resistance from my training partner if they aren't paying attention or expecting it, just throw a leg over real fast...with people who I don't think it would work with if they noticed. I give them two weeks. But anyway, of course this doesn't work from bottom because that's something pretty hard to sneak out of without anyone noticing. lol
