First Logeoplata finish in competition today!!!

I just wanted to share this video with everybody! I got my first Logeoplata finish in an actual competition today against MMA fighter Zach Prager! It was awesome to finally catch this technique in competition and it further legitimizes its effectiveness in my mind!

My rubber guard still has a long ways to go but it's a work in progress!
Thanks for checking it out and any advice or criticism anyone cares to offer!

Funny, I've brainstormed that move too. Glad you showed its effectiveness. Very nice.

Good work. I use that all the time, never knew it had a name. Definatly legit. I never read the threads when the name came up. Guess I should do better at staying up with the times. I first had that used on me ,on one of my first days in class, by a no-gi MMA fighter during and open roll, back in about '02. I've been doing it ever since. I always just refered to it as a gogoplata, even though it was slightly different. I almost had it in my last sub only comp, but was too tired to finish it. Sometimes easier and faster than grabbing your toes. I was also using it in the gi by using the far lapel and my shin to cut off blood. Does that have a different name? Again, great finish.

It might have a different name, it certainly is a logical place to go from the gogo in my opinion so I'm not surprised that others came up with it before I did! Once I started hitting it in the gym a lot my teammates kind of dubbed it that because The Loge is my nickname. After that I made a quick demo video of it and posted on here and on the underground asking if anyone had a name for the move and if they had seen it before. The general consensus was that most had never seen it and the couple people that had didn't have a name for it. I'm certainly not trying to step on any toes with the name though! I just like the technique!

oh, didn't realize you named it, didn't put 2 and 2 together. That's cool!

here is a video of my attempt for your competition effectiveness records. Skip to about 11:15 mark. Bad camera angle, but you can see how he escaped better from this side anyway, and that is what is important. I should have probably switched to Carni instead, but this is usually gold for me. Looks like I allowed enough space for him to slip is arm out. He was a smaller guy. Usually in rolling I get it on larger armed dudes.

That looked like a really good attempt! I usually like to set it up when people defend the gogo but lately I've just started going for it right off the bat! I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses this technique, it's legit under any name as far as I'm concerned! :)

Loge,

A. Awesome!
B. Nice work in the clinch
C. Noticed the Free NY as soon as you got to the ground
D. modified Gogoplata with finish from gable grip?

Thanks a lot for sharing this; it's like straight out of the playbook I am trying to build.

I only had to watch it 3 times to finally realize what was going on, lol.

Sweet submission and congratulations!

Sorry but, can someone explain to me, what's a Logeoplata?

Was trying to see what you were doing in the video, but couldn't spot the details. Looked almost like a gogoplata to me (but somehow at the end, you... looked your hands together and got the finish?)

The sub looks wicked btw! ;)

Great submission bro. But for some reason, I don't know how we name it Frodoplata instead, but regardless of name, its legit.
11-10-2013, 10:06 AM
Logan Cook

Thanks! The difference between this and the Frodoplata is Frodo's goes full on with a RNC style grip. This one is a gable grip over the knee, which keeps everything tighter IMO!

Yeah I feel like the loge applies pressure much faster.

That sub is very nice, thanks for the demonstration video. I don't think you triangled your foot when you landed the sub in the competition? Do you think this is an important step or not?

This is what makes MTS and the Forum so great. Watched your vid (repeatedly) yesterday and then since it was front of mind, hit a gogoplata this morning with the gable grip…. my first Logeoplata ever. Two days ago I didn't even know the move existed.
