I honestly should now with these leg changes, at least to appreciate what I had before them – I used to grapple best from the bottom, wrap one of their legs and just frustrate their attempts to get a choke for a while while they wore themselves out, then take advantage of their gambits to pull an upa and get top mount with them exhausted

Like seriously, one of the tricks is no matter how low they are they’re spending effort on keeping themselves up meanwhile you can lock their struggling efforts so they’re fighting gravity at no cost to you.
