Anyone here have trouble with the kneebar? For some reason, i cannot make this technique work. I have great difficulty getting the leg out to the side of the opponent, which I think might be the major problem, but I've never been able to make this move even feel uncomfortable. Any tips for common problems with this move?

I'm not having much trouble at all with applying pressure with the kneebar.

 

I'm actually learning it from an Ippon Seio Nage fake, then roll to the side (like a granby), and apply pressure.

 

If you need a secure grip on the leg, try putting the foot in your armpit.

 

I've never drilled it from a guard-pass, but I'll be covering that my next class.

it takes time and alot of sparring experience to even be able to try and attemp, you need to be proficient in doing armbars from mount, before you can even think about trying kneebars. the reason im saying this is because the end result is the same as an armbar, just imagine the knee is the elbow.

 

im not discouraging you, by all means try, this is just coming from a jj blue belt.

Pretty much all my attempts at kneebars have been when I'm in someone's half guard. You can rotate either direction into it :) I've been very successful getting into position, but people can wiggle into a position where its ineffective way too often.

Heh, trust me, I'm proficient in armbars...probably a little too much so, I win 90% of my matches with armbars. I don't know if its my positioning, or maybe I'm missing bracing the opponent's body some way. It's just very difficult to keep the leg in the correct position. Bah...stupid leglocks. ;)
