It seems like every time someone wants to complain about 10P, this arguement comes up: that Eddie is not a great innovator, but that he steals techniques from other systems and renames them for 10P purposes.
What is NEVER mentioned in these in these discussions is the reverse ude-garami.
For those who aren't familiar with the reverse ude-garami, it was used by Masahiko Kimura, a Japanese judoka, in his match with Helio Gracie. He used the technique to break Gracie's arm and win the match.
The Gracies liked the technique so much that they incorporated it into their system, calling it the 'kimura' after the man they learned it from.
That being said, why do so many practitioners of Gracie JJ flame on 10P for the very thing their grandmaster did?
Food for thought.
