I hope Bolo or roy won't mind. This forum is the only way for me to reach m.g.
----------------------------------
m.g,
First, your posts about solo training have been great. I remember you posting solo drills on pinning someone down (the basketball drills.)
Do you mind posting these again.
That would be great.
Thanks, armbar612

I have several holddown or pin drills.
Some require the use of a basketball but not all.
Again these drills aren't original in fact one holddown drill I borrowed from Roy (it the shoulder exercise push drill. It is always better to work your muscle in the same manner you use them. So these drills on his websight are excellent for holddown drill work).
Basketball drills: basically lay ontop of the basketball and roll forward. Also try this: you're on top of the ball elbows are into your body with both forearms flat on the ground. From here do a sit out, that is place you legs as if your doing a kesa gatame. However keep you elbows into your body and your forearms on the ground. The purpose of this drill is to practice doing the sitout movement while stablizing your weight on the ball.
I have a few other drills I do with a basketball including a triangle drill.
But I can't post that now because I don't have the time (I"m at work) BUT I will do it later today when I have more time.

Thanks. That's a drill I could use.
No worries about the other ones. Post them whenever you have the time.
Thanks again,

Stickgrappler,
Thanks man! You saved me alot of time. What I was about to post is archived on your sight.
Here are a few more things I do when doing holddown drills with the basketball: Most of the time people practice holddowns with the basketball as if their just doing the head to head position (also call the 69 position, but I hate that name for obvious reasons) that is, as they apply pressure to the ball their legs are spread apart. From here alot of people put their hands behind their back and spin around the ball making sure their legs are spread and the have constant pressure on the ball. This is good. But not all hold down position are executed that way so it is good to change them to match other hold down positions like the mount.
In the archived post on Stickgrapplers site I have already described some holddown drills with the basketball for the "kesa" or scarf hold. And I even described how to do the "clock" movement for the clock choke with a basketball. Here is a simple one for the mount. As you're applying pressure to the ball bring the soles of your feet together so that your legs are forming a diamond. This is one of the position you take when you do the mount. It is also the position your body is in when you have the back mount and have applied your hooks and the opponent is face down. Aside from that when I'm in this position I do a few shadow cross chokes. It is kind of tough because as you arch you back alittle to apply pressure (like you do when you do the cross choke from the mount) to enforce the power of the choke you can definitely feel it on your stomach. The pressure is so tough that you can't do to many with out losing your breath (this is an excellent gage of the pressure your applying because of the physic law of "reaction" that is, - for every force there is an opposite and equal reaction - therefore as your applying pressure to the ball the ball is applying the same force back onto you). Nonetheless it is a good way to work on the core muscle that are used when doing this technique EXACTLY in the same way you use them when doing this technique.
