I'll try to find it but I remember the transition being from ashi
Chris Herzog has some good material on this. Reilly Bodycomb has some good stuff also. Typically, you don't do the traditional knot stuff when the foot is on the inside like 411, the knee knot or Russian knot is typically initiated from a knee reaping position though there are weird exceptions, but that's a good rule of your learning it. It's a good series to learn fit ankle locks in an open rule set if that interests you.
^ Second Barncat's advice. Herzog is the go to OG for knee knot stuff. check out his youtube channel or app
Zog's stuff on the knee knot from the reap is the best stuff out there, when Eddie shows it in the MTS he crosses his feet differently than Zog from what I can see. I think Sonnon shows some knot stuff from honey hole/saddle calling it Gordian knot or something.
Zog is the guy for the knee knot. Although attempting it from 411/honey hole is a bad move as you would be honey sticking yourself.
Look up The Week In Roc 10th Planet Rodchester on YouTube. Love his Russian Cowyboy series too.
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice, Brian. I found some videos from Zog and am studying up on it. He's that dude most definitely. I was trying to remember the episode that Eddie has a seminar with him and they were going over a lot of positions. I'm seeing that it's from Game Over more though like you say, and not the saddle. When you say "fit ankle locks", what do you mean exactly?
Which video are you referring to?
I am going to guess he is referring to MTS:88 ~25:48
After watching again, Eddie crosses his feet the same Zog in the Knee Knot. It was his preference for the Game Over position to the knot that was the difference in philosophy.
Typo, I meant its a good series to learn FOR ankle locks. I do way more ankle locks and ankle lock variations off the knot lately than heel hooks. An ankle lock gripped opposite the normal way is golden for me once there.Quote:

Someone visiting showed it to me last weekend - at first take, it seems pretty dominant, but the thing that Alex Canders pointed out is that it makes it tough/impossible to get your own knee to the mat in the saddle, which makes it easier for the uke to stiff arm your knee and start to work the escape.
