Carry your opponents weight easily through posture: When you work in bottom position you will have to carry your opponents weight on top of you for extended periods. This can be tiring and fruitless if done with poor posture. IF YOU WANT TO EASILY CARRY AND move heavy OPPONENTS FROM BOTTOM KEEP YOUR knees TO chest AND SOINE CURVED LIKE THE BOTTOM OF A ROCKING CHAIR – just as a rocking chair can easily carry and move heavy bodies, so too will you. Look how Nicky Ryan uses the banana curve in his spine to topple an opponent forward and easily move him into a position where he can lift himself into a cross ashi garami entry. If your spine is flat on the floor you will feel every ounce of your opponents weight and won't be able to move him an inch. Put a healthy curve in your spine and you will bounce him around from one attack to another.
