Nothing ground breaking here, but I still think its a quality technique. And it's very interesting to note that this comes from a Gracie Barra school.

I can dig it
Very rarely should you ever get stalled out while in NY position. Carni all day when they step over your foot.
I don't dislike the technique he shows as I use the hook sweep and scissor sweep (just not from RG), I just think there are better options leading to susbmissions sooner in the progression.
Agreed with Chris 100%. So many options from RG, why risk the guy popping out from your control by opening up your control to sweep him? Been drilling this scenario with Cora all this week and we basically Carni all day like Chris said. Been playing with Carni to Swim move to gogoplata.
True About The Carn, But Options Are Cool To Have ;)Quote:

Because sometimes an opponent WANTS to be swept.Quote:

Because my job is to flow.
Anyone who hasn't run into a road block in rg. Keep training.
That being said whenever he pushed his head with his left hand to 'try to make something happen', it was obvious he isn't proficient at clearing the head or rescue dog.
However, I do runinto roadblcks. Gonna play with it. Thanks.
Preach it brother! My goal is never to be submitted, but I do...so it's good to learn how to defend against submissions. Especially if you're playing the points game (as we must in most tournaments), it's nice to have this as an option to get an easy 4pts. Of course, we should always be in pursuit of the submission, but having point options are nice too...maybe this dude crushes your submission game or your sub attempts suck. :D Be like water my friend!Quote:

You can clearly tell he has spent some time drilling it properly or else we would rip him a new one.
I think you're right. And I think that makes it beautiful. He took a really cool idea (rubber guard) and tied it into something he was already proficient with. We all do that on the regular. The expansive nature of jiu jitsu allows for this; more accurately, it encourages it. There's no way for me to include every movement or idea into my personal game. But if I see something valuable or interesting I can further develop my understanding of the overarching principals of jiu jitsu by investigating it, and possibly spicing my own game with it.Quote:
