It is nothing you haven't seen from me before. Another flying triangle and dead orchard. I always seem to get the same submissions. I have lots of other game that I don't seem to get to play in competition. For the next tourney should I focus on my go to game or should I try to mix it up a bit? When it comes to competing I just wanna grab the first submission I can get. thoughts?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYUlx...ature=youtu.be
Nice job!
Do what you are doing until they can stop you. Then start hiting them with your back up plans when they counter you. Let your competition think thats all you have ;).
Sick!!10p4l!!
You're flying triangles are insane. Awesome work.
In my mind the greatest grapplers go out and submit their opponents as quickly as possible. As a fan I don't care how they get the sub, I am in awe of how quickly the greats can impose their game. Seeing you quickly hitting flying triangles and Dead Orchards against people who know they are coming brings a smile to my face.
It is an interesting question though; should you tournament hone other aspects of your game... I'll leave that to the many more experienced grapplers here.
Congrats on the wins your a beast . As far as your question Marcelo Garcia...

It's awesome to me as a white belt that someone way more advanced can take a few basic subs, understand/develop & use them so well..I mean, even on a high level you are smiting fools with your comp game, even if it might seem limited. It's a high percentage game you play!
Sick subs Nate!! You almost hit the Apollo too! 10p Portland is on fire! :-)
Nathan Orchard ADCC 2015?
Nathan is headed for greatness!
Funny as shit he almost got that a week after we went over it with you. Nathan amazes me.Quote:

I had fun competing with Nathan and the rest of the 10P Portland gang.
I'm glad the Angry Orchard is 2 weight classes below me.
Here are my matches from the NAGA event.
Solid advice. Thanks ZogQuote:

Awesome matches, Nathan. I'm eagerly awaiting Portland's next video on reverse spider web. It is absolute wizardry to me! :D
I like how after the last match your opponent sits up like, "I just got rubber-guarded...that was bullshit", lol. Great job bud!
His coach told him Rubber Guard doesn't work at the high levels :)Quote:

And hell yeah dude, i'd say mix it up and try new things. Challenge yourself! Especially if you are pulling of the other moves with ease. :)
If you make a concious effort to try certain moves in competition and go on to exdcute them, thats true mastery, imho. :)
I'm the bald dude that you got in the flying triangle at naga this past weekend. Great work, enjoyed the roll. I'll definitely watch out for the flying triangles in future tournaments. Any good tournaments in Oregon coming up?
Don't lose any sleep over it, man. He does that to everybody.Quote:

One is put on by subleague and is submission only and then there is a tournament in Tacoma Washington also in January that is also sub only. Its called Chess On the Mat. but I don't know all the details for it. Great to meet you and I'm sure I'll run into you in the future.Quote:

Keep winning with what works. Why stop a good thing. Then when someone stuffs that, you can be like, "Surprise! Leg locks!!"
Congrats! I say keep doing what you're doing. Use your go to stuff and just accordingly. Can't be passing up on your signature move! :)
Killer matches man and very slick finishes
Thanks man, I'm planning on going to chess on the man in jan will also look into the sub league. Love how active the 10th planet community is.
Nathan is the damn man, great subs bro.
nibiru warrior of the year.
Welcome aboard Nick.Quote:

Great job, Nathan. I have a few questions from watching the vids if you are so inclined to share! If I'm seeing this correctly, the Dead Orchard is started from Crackhead Control, you knee dive with the free arm to cut the angle to you can get your legs to cross in a reverse triangle. With that pressure and angle it looks like you hunt/play chess with their arms until they expose the "under" (farthest from your head, closest to your groin). At that point, do you always bring the leg around the head to finish the armbar or just as the need arises? My other question is that I noticed at the end of the few videos I watched that the guy always raises up; is this because you are applying the armbar or are you taking the armbar because they are trying to escape with the posturing? Sorry for the questions but the angle in the videos doesn't clear those up for me. Thanks again!
Without a doubt.Quote:

I am not sure what you mean by "reverse triangle" because I actually lock in the triangle but with both of his arms in. once the triangle is locked in I can pull my mission control arm out. Now I have a few options depending on what he does or how strong/good at defending he is. the finish I use the most is an arm bar on the side of the triangle lock. in this video I actually do a Americana type crank but you just can't see it cause of the camera angle. people try to stand up and posture out but the triangle lock is so tight they can't pull out of it. kicking my leg in front of there face for an arm bar is a croc. Again, it kinda depends on what he does. I have been saying it for a while and I promise it will happen but video will be coming soon explaining all the options in more detail. I hope that answers you questions. I suck at typing instruction :)Quote:
