NAGA Tennessee Gold Medal (Video)! Thanks to everyone that helped me out!!!

I personally never did agree with the reaping rule, as it's such a solid form of control. Thanks for enlightening me, and congrats on the gold :)

Yeah not IBJJF so NAGA does different rules. Pretty much everything is legal in the Expert division.

I never did like the knee reap rule, as it's such a solid form of control. Thanks for enlightening me on NAGA rules :)

Yes this is a “knee reap” according to IBJJF. Then again, so is the other position Brent smith was sharing earlier which didn’t affect the knee at all. Knee reaping was legal here AS WAS HEEL HOOKS if I wanted to do one.

But despite that, when I talked to him afterword, he ONLY FELT IT IN HIS ANCLE. The “knee reap” really shouldn’t even be called that because the move is actually more about taking the hips out of play than it is about directly effecting the knee…. That’s IBJJF stuff.

I also feel like “IBJJF style” leg locks are “wrong” and I prefer to simply not do them in that rule set rather than devolve my grappling game. Just my opinion…
