No introduction necessary.
This is cool if you don't play lockdown. If you had this what is the purpose of your vid? Also it makes you look a little douchey by making a new thread instead of posting this on the other thread. Kinda like you are looking for attention, not in a good way.
So why not just post those initially instead of remaking an already made video? Not takin shots. Genuinely curious.
Haha. Simultaneous double post.
Yup lol, just FYI James I honestly want to know as well.Quote:

So is the technique still crap..or was the 7+ pages on the other thread just because James here hasnt "earned the right"? I understand there's rules but numerous people stated that you would just get your guard passed...
If you let the lockdown go to do this tech then your lockdown is probably shit and needs work IMO.Quote:

If you keep the lockdown I have to address it before advancing.
Ahhh....dang it....troll thread
Seems to be that way, I remember a thread like this happening in the past...Quote:

I tire of the "competition" question, its be answered several times, yes I have competed, far more than you ever will. Any of you are welcome to test your abilities against mine. I'm not hard to find. I'm at my gym 6 days a week about 10 hours/day. And yes I'll be at Eddies seminar in Bethlehem Dec 14th, you can try there as well.
Such a shame he got gutless. All I know Is he fucked up.Quote:

I ask you to do the same thing. Not once have I seen a competition video of you using the lockdown.
The video was not made for the forums. It was for a friend who needs help getting of their back when being smashed.
I thought the fact of my videos being UNLISTED on YouTube would hint at a similar situation.
With that said. I do have video of me successfully hitting this in competition.
As Bruce posted. I had a match with 6x Expert Division Champion, Chip Gerber where I used this to get my underhooks.
I'm trying to share with you, Chris Herzog, what I've been able to incorporate into my game.
I'm supplying a new idea at a position that I too often see new guys claiming to be stuck in.
But instead of embracing the thought process. Instead of saying, I'd do this instead.
You go off to talk about how you are better than Ryan Hall. And Marcelo Garcia's technique doesn't work.
Even if that last statement is true. You still did not supply your technical input.
Good job failing to evolve.
Then you make an attempt to turn this into a pissing competition? Acting as if I'm challenging you to a match.
Grow up, I'll see you soon, I will offer you my hand to shake, and probably crack a couple of jokes.
I'm confident that you and I will get along great.
Both threads. Nearly a hundred posts. Summed up in three letters.Quote:

And lol at braggi
You pissed first. Vids of you using in comp please.

Who the f is chip Gerber?Quote:

Chris just points out something everyone was thinking..not that he was better than Ryan or Marcelo.Quote:

I hear Brandon Quick's has an opening for Jiu Jitsu coach. I am sure you will fit in there.
Porra this is getting worse and worse by the moment.
Wow. This forum is interesting sometimes...
Can we all just get along? Can we agree to disagree?? I know family fight at times, but still family right??
Nope I will not ever get along with anyone that disrespects Coach Herzog. Numbnutz took took a shot at Coach and it'll come back to bite him in the ass.Quote:
