MTS 39....so good

I'm definitely not a master of this position, but I do enjoy attacking with the 50/50. When someone uses this escape with me, I have been having great success with the exact thing Herzog is talking about. He taught that catch when he was here during the leg lock camp. It leads right into a brutal knee crush. Just like anything, it's a timing issue. And you gotta be sure to really capture their heel tightly. They end up dragging you across the room as they try to escape.

I believe Scott Yockel just had Dan Swift caught up in that knee crush during their last match, didn't he? I can't remember the exact entry he used though.

Scott used it with the Reaper entry as did Charles Oliveira. Its almost the same entry to the crush off the corkscrew escape, same concept however the positioning is whats slightly diffrent. Its just you're attacking the inside leg vs. outside leg, it works from either style of attack
(50/50 or Reaping).

Yeah that was it. He went for his patented failed single to reaper. When Swift spun out he went for the knee crush.

Drilled the shit out of Manny's kneebar from half guard this morning. Great setup.

Emphasis on squeezing the knees to control the trapped leg is obviously massive.

Drilled the kneebar, then the toe hold he shows on the free leg over and over and over, as you do.

Going back to the kneebar I found myself instinctively going to the toe hold on the trapped leg this time; the one I was setting up for the kneebar.

Anyone else see this as a stronger move, or equally as strong at least? Is there something I am missing that makes the kneebar higher percentage? I just found that combining the kneebar movement with the toe hold hand grip at the top and simultaneously hyper extending the knee and twisting in the toe hold made for a really strong, effortless sub.

I can never get a toe hold on a straight leg.

Mike try folding it first (think someone rolling their ankle walking off a curb)the rotate it, and make sure it tight to your core so its your body doing the roation not your arms.
