Looks like the Rubix Cube/Puppet Master stuff from that WCL Wolverine guy.

Also, I remember this being the gingersnap, and a kid who went by the Flying Tomato having some videos of it? Correct me please.
Haha.. Gary meek.. That's the name I was looking for..

As soon as I posted that I remembered the brown belt tutorial rule.. My bad.
Also.. I love this series. I was stoked wen Brandon showed me the video. I recently hit my goal of catching all the blue belts an up with it in the gym.. So now I'm using it to see what transitions/sweeps I can use it for.. You find yourself getting to the crucifix a lot? I know if I don't get my hand behind their back in time, their defense is to "summersault" out. But it lands them in a crucifix with you on their back. I'm really liking that one as of recent.
=) The only time I lose those is when they back away completely and it allows me to escape to better positions...win-win. At the beginning when you shrimp in towards them, if they switch to judo side, that's when I fight for the Javi Hook mentioned earlier in this thread. Hope you guys like it and it can fit into your game somehow...if you figure a way to improve, please let me know!!!
No worries...Eddie wanted me to post a video at some point being a Moon instructor, so we'll call it even. =)
I don't get people rolling out of it really. The first sub they either tap or explode away from me because they have no idea what's going on, but they know they don't want any part of it. The second sub (your ginger snap), if they don't tap they twist their arm back to the first position or set up the third sub. The third sub usually results in sweeps or ripping their arm out of their socket...usually with the assistance of a cop grip (5-O control). Most escapes they pull off allow me to get my underhooks or transitions for escapes.
Yeah, sitting straight up/away is typically the response i get from anyone thats been caught in it a couple times.. Ive been trying to attach myself to them by hooking their head or arm so i can go up with them when they posture.. but realistically i think the better option would be just to go for the sweep/recovery like you said. I just attach myself bc thats the primary sub Ive been working on so I dont want to lose the position. lol. Though recently Ive been having a lot of success from top side with it. Same basic setup for the most part.. then just roll at the end to catch their arm. Its cool having another guy working on it.. let alone a moon head.. Thats going to cut out so much trial/error time and shortcut the refining process. :p
Sounds awesome! Ill definitely be here
Ok, this ginger snap or shylock series intrigues me. Couple of years ago I was playing with some setups that are similiar but not even close to the technicality of these ones. I must go and play with these and the old ones that I have forgotten. Thanks!
the ginger snap looks uber sexy ..kudos to the Decatur dudes for exploring such a sneaky move. cheers!:)
I think last weekend's ufc showed a great example with that darce from side control bottom
Lately i've been playing with getting a Free NY from letting the guy on the bottom sweep me while im mounting them. Its a Risk vs Reward kinda situation though....
Imanari hits it from the triangle escape, but it's a similar idea (from 3:07): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhFAeeBnLoU
Lovin' the ginger snap. I have to try that out, as well as the Nino Schembri escapes/counters. I get really lax about letting people pass my guard, lol.
I hate the ginger snap. It ruins my otherwise beautiful side control pressure.
