Thanks for the videos, Jason. I'm working on it right now - using Ryan Hall's instructional on the 50/50 as basis.
I think Xande said it best. You gotta know how to defend and escape the position even if you don't use it in your game for offense.
I just watched the video again and didn't hear Xande say that. Do you have a direct quote to reference?Quote:

No doubt, 100% agree.Quote:

Ryan Hall had a cool set up in his match with Hermes Franca if you haven't seen that yet.Quote:

I tried to be polite...Quote:

I'm sure you can see how someone might mistake your post as being a direct quote from Xande in the video.
Instead of debating our thoughts on the 50/50, as we did on another thread, I thought it would be good to hear from some multiple time Mundial Champions, ADCC medalists, and well known legends of our sport.
Don't get me wrong. Posting our personal opinions here is totally valid and our debate is good and healthy, but lets just make sure that we allow these legends to also have their say and lets all do our best to not accidentally misrepresent them.
No worries. I didn't take it as a dis. I can see how someone could ask for clarification by the way I wrote my statement.Quote:
