Groundwork commentary (non-finishing moves)


admin

Recommended Posts

Please submit your ground moves where there is not a finish in this thread. Read the commentary guidelines thread before submitting your entries.

 

Notes

- Don't mention cuts in your commentary. Cuts are worked out seperately from this type of commentary.

- Ground and pound. Please include a head shot in there somewhere. Any ground and pound attack can cause a cut, so we need to make sure the cut doesn't just come from knees to the body cos that would sound stupid.

- Please keep it simple. One reversal or scramble per move, just to keep the commentary easy to understand. Try and keep it down to about 3 lines max.

- Tactics. Someone can set to do no strikes at all but try submissions. So, don't mix in strikes and sub attempts from the same guy.

- Counters. A positional counter can come off any move.

- Winner is always the aggressor on the ground for T(KO)s. There can be counter sub though.

 

Format e.g.

Start position: ~ in guard on top.

Commentary text: ~ throws and elbow that misses. ^ uses the momentum to reverse the position. He's now in ~'s guard. Nice move by ^!

New position: ^ in guard on top.

#2 reads a little funny. and i think that in #3 it has to start in mount, guard bottom, etc. just add that ^ goes for a guilatine first. at least i think thats how it works as there is no sub postion just attempts. but i like #1 and #3 when it is revised.

the first one is not groundwork i guess but it would be affected by grappling ability.

 

Start position: standing

Commentary text: ^ secures a hand and jumps up onto ~ pulling his head towards the mat. but ^ gets shaken off and falls to the canvas, ~ falls into side control

------------------------------(or could stay standing)

New position: ^ in side control top

 

 

 

 

Start position: ^ on top in guard

Commentary text: ~ curls in trying to secure on of ^'s legs for a kneebar but ^ transitions to north south and delivers a quick knee to ~'s shoulder

New position: ^ in north south top

 

 

 

if you dont have footstomps them could be added to a stalling move in the clinch as well

 

i wrote some standing moves while at work but dont know if theres a thread on that.

Start position: ~ in guard on bottom.

Commentary text: ^ is in control here, pushing his head down firmly upon the chest of ~ during the occasional bombardment of punches on his clamped opponent. ~ seems to be alright though as he gives the audience a swift thumb up! That has to be disheartening for ^ if he noticed.

Reading about the changes to counteract grappling spamming and during inspiration from Tibau vs Neer, i think this would be a good bit of text going through the whole transition from both standing through wrestling to back standing. It will not be perfect but i think its a nice idea.

 

Start Position: Both standing

Commentary: X goes for a jab but Y ducks under and we see a massive double leg takedown

 

Start Position: Fighter Y on the bottom

Commentary: Y immediately pops his hips, raising X's hips from the ground. Y know has butterfly guard.

 

Start Position: X on top in butterfly guard

Commentary: X tries to deliver a diving right hand but Y unbalances X resulting in a scramble.

Result: Both men standing again

If it works

 

Start Pos.: Mounted but being held down by defender.

Text: ~ is trying to break his opponents grip, really trying to get that mount. ^ seems to be getting some purchase though, and there it is a beautiful sweep into guard.

End Pos.: Attacker in Defender's guard.

 

If Reversed

 

Start Pos.: Mounted but being held down by defender.

Text: ^ is trying to get some grip, might be going for a sweep. Wait a second HUGE elbow from ~! * is conscious but he's lost his grip and has now been fully mounted.

End Pos.: Full Mount.
