How when you break the guard you don’t place your knee directly in Uke’s tailbone but rather blocking Uke’s butt-cheek. Small detail, but very significant.

So based on the details “hold…[them] down”, I’m gonna say leg ride (though my knee-jerk response is head control).

Full tranparency - from that list, I'd pick Rickson. I am blessed to have had multiple lessons with master Pedro Sauer. Blows my mind everytime. My bucket list is to roll 1 light, friendly round with Rickson. Just to feel JiuJitsu directly from him, once. Will probably never happen (Master Rickson doesn't know me from Adam) - but a man can dream :)

I have not. I would like to reserve funds for both travel and at least 2 hours with him, but this is going to require some careful planning on my part. Never been to California, so if I go I need to get my wife on board so that we can also enjoy the beautiful state of California a bit while there :)

I never realized you don't put your knee in the tail-bone, but in the but cheek. small, but insanely important detail! Thank you!

So don’t shrimp so far that I lose my kickstand before I can reset. That’s gold! Incredibly important detail. Thank you!
