50/50 to back take

Performed by some cool little kids.

Thoughts? Looks pretty cool.

That's pretty smooth...

Doesn't look realistic

pretty damn creative for 2 little kids...gotta give em props... but not protecting your heel in 50/50 is a good way to get your knee torn to shreds. Then again these kids cant do heel hooks in their divisions either so its probably not a concern for them ;) Agree with Brent...not all that realistic.

Thanks for the input guys. This is why I bring stuff on here to see the top dog's opinions. It looks cool. But I guess it's more flashy than practical.

What am i missing? how do u get heel hooked when you have wrist control? (which i think is the unrealistic part of this move) Are you just afraid of losing the wrist and then getting Paul Harris-ed? Exprain prease.

I think it's difficult to keep secure wrist control in no-Gi...especially when sweat becomes a factor etc. I certainly wouldn't bet my knee on it. Also...if you expose your heel an go for wrist control I'm not letting you get anywhere near my arms/wrists. I'm kicking the shit out of your shoulders to keep you back while I finish. Just doesn't seem worth the risk to me...especially vs. higher level 50/50 players. To put it in context though...I think it's bad ass these 2 kids came up with this on their own and it could be useful in divs where you can't heel hook. I like the move...the risk/reward just isn't there for me when heel hooks are in play.

No i 100 percent agree about the wrist control. A 1 on 1 wrist control there isn't strong in my opinion. I was jw if i missing something, I wasn't.

Thats pretty bad ass that these kids are so into jiu-jitsu they are coming up with creative ass moves like that.

I hate rat-tails :mad:
