So it's the Muddy Water concept except you triangle for the shoulder lock.
I didn't know until just recently it was called the Dead Orchard... at the midwest training camp when einstein was showing the muddy waters path my legs are so long I kept getting the triangle/figure four instead of ankle hooking when going for the muddy and it sempt to be working very well so I just reffered to it as Modified Muddy Waters until seeing posts about it on the forum
It ended up with a name because it was a pain in the ass saying "That move where you triangle your legs with both arms in" and Nathan Orchard was the one hitting it consistently in tournaments. Seriously at least one a tournament and he competes all the time.
now it all makes sense. definitely going to go for this in training.
My number one armbar in tournaments as well https://www.youtube.com/user/elonhodge1
One of our white belts does the same thing. Would like to see the technique vid so I can show him how you enter it.
I actually hit this in my second MMA fight without realizing it. Fight starts around 16 minutes in.

Ya, me too. I just called it muddy waters also. Finished a match with it in my last tourney!
Posted this vid a while ago and nobody chimed in and told me it was called the Dead Orchard. Thanks a lot!
