Interesting path into the vaporizer. I don't know about it but I guess we'll see.
Duh, isn't that what getting better and learning is all about?? Instead of just totally disregarding it by watching a video, try it a bunch of times then disregard it if it doesn't work for you. Obviously it transitions into something that is super legitimate.Quote:

Try getting creative and having an original thought. You're not a machine...yet.
For sure, but there's definitely some wacky ass shit I'm definitely not doing.Quote:

Looks like this would only work for a big strong guy. I want jiu jitsu that works on everyone bc I'm always the smallest and weakest..why waste time if its not gonna work on big guys too..? Sorry dude. I only want high percentage finishes in my game. You fight how you train so I can't waste any time especially if you haven't hit this in a tournament...
I know you are not seriously suggesting someone put serious time and effort into a technique or a series of transitions that you've only successful executed on a training partner twice, then criticizing those that are critiquing that technique by calling them close minded, after you asked others "thoughts" on this series. That's called critical thinking, not closed mindedness. Why would anyone invest serious time or commitment into a technique that you haven't done yourself?Quote:

A technique will merit an escape once investigation and development has been filter through the vetting process.
Generally strategy to vetting "new" techniques and transitions should follow the process of:
1)Works against compliant training partners
2)Works against moderating resistant training partners (drills)
3)Works against fully resistant training partners (rolling)
4)Works against fully resistant skilled & stronger/larger opponents (rolling or competing)
5)All of the above consistently
Then post a video on it.
I take your word that you "can" hit it in training. I think everyone would. Seriously hit that shit all the time, address the counters/problems that are "actually" presented, not theoretical problems. Own that shit, for months, not days, then people will take serious consideration of the technique you posted, not the other way around.
I am seriously suggesting you should take a few minutes to try any move that you think could have potential. This might not work for 9 out of 10 guys, but it can click with one. This isn't a go-to technique of mine, I never said it was. It makes way more sense for me to post a video of a new move and see it grow from there.
Because, why not?
You can have your vetting process. I'll take every bit of jiu jitsu information I can and vet it myself on the mats.
Anything less than that to me is closed minded and that doesn't help with anything.
I would never say something doesn't work just by seeing one video.
I guess thats the difference is we want to see moves that are proven not ones made up on the fly. It doesnt mean any one is closed minded, it just means we dont just automatically accept anything someone posts. We want proof that its plausible. We tried it at Superhero tonight and anyone close to your own size was able to roll their wrist out of your "penguin grip". Then when the leg was grabbed and began leaning back the opponent put his hand on his stomach, not to mention the fact that crossing the feet defeated the lean back. Also, the bottom guy grabbing the hip didnt stop anything as far as knee sliding into mount or stepping around the head to finish the regular kimura. It was also difficult to maintain top position, keep the bottom mans hand on the mat and elevate the majority of the bottom mans body off the ground all at the same time with any resistance.
How cool would it be if all that panned out into legitimacy? It looks too difficult to keep that far wrist under control but I'm always rooting for more new material :)
