Great Job. Will help to inspire my son.
I was looking for it, but I wasn't comfortable with the clinch that I had. And I thought I had the arm triangle when I had him in it, but it doesn't look like his shoulder was pressuring into his corodid enough.Quote:

Awesome! It's amazing how smooth he was in setting it up. Great job!
It was so there. But yeah, it would of been a way shorter match and we woulda missed all the other beautiful transitions after.
Nice wax off to armdrag as well. Remember, step through them, not around. So fun to watch you man. The Sorcerer's Apprentice, aka The Roach.
Awesome work! Love my brotha's from southern mothas!
Outstanding job! Straight up Sniper!!!Quote:

1. Dude, he's 14.Quote:

3. NOTHING works very well against "tougher dudes." That's why they're tougher dudes.
4. I wouldn't consider what Manny does "just laying down." He's an offensive machine within his age group and weight class, and even in the age and weight class above him.
5. Watch Eddie's competition videos. Then make the same comment. He made it work against some tough dudes, as have countless others including Marcelo Garcia, Jean Jacques Machado, the Miyao Brothers, Mendes Brothers, Michael Langhi, etc...
6. Since you're quick to criticize a 14 year old, I'd be honored to have you provide video evidence of yourself or anyone of your students utilizing your strategy in a competition match.
7. I love you :)
Shots fired!
Super smooth transition to the RNC from the arm triangle. So many people (myself included) would've kept cranking the arm triangle until gassing out. Very impressive performance!
There's more than laying down with Manny. He's a RG guy, of course he's going to go straight to his guard.Quote:

Outstanding work!!!
