Noob question about the Twister

Is the Twister considered a "spinal lock without choke?"

yes

I thought it was a chokal lock without twist?

So you can't hit that during an IBJJF tournament or at the Revolution...are there *any* tournaments where this is allowed?

Ah, but I've answered my own question. NAGA allows this. I love their rulebook PDF.

"No-Gi Legal and Illegal Techniques
<picture of dude playing rubber guard>"

Awesome.

Banana split and crotch ripper from the truck, and wrist lock from baseball bat control were IBJJF friendly last I checked.

The Good Fight allows it at blue belt level if I read correctly:

BLUE AND PURPLE BELT SUBMISSIONS
- ALL GENERAL ILLEGAL SUBMISSIONS WILL APPLY EXCEPT:

Wrist locks of any kind are OK.
Any straight foot lock is OK.
Any straight ankle lock is OK.
Any straight leg lock or knee bar is OK.
NO twisting lower extremity leg locks are permitted.
Bicep slicers are OK.
Calf slicers and compression locks are OK.
Electric chair submissions are OK.
**Twister submissions are OK.

Yep, But the twister is not. The crushes become legal at Brown and Black.

Are the crushes particularly dangerous?

Also, I'm a little confused about "Oh, it's ok if you twist their spine, just make sure that you're choking them at the same time..

Otherwise someone could get hurt."

I get a lot of miles out of the bouncer. Like 11 miles.

If he's extended in baseball bat control. He's set up for the bouncer. ^%

I think you can at any level at the Kakuto Challenge. The next one is in GA on April 26th. All of 10P Bama will be there. :-) They're giving $100 to the first person who gets one that day.

Right? For some reason $100 is quite the motivation. You know what else is..eating your weight at Golden Corral afterwards, win or lose.

Any videos of this? Didn't see anything when I took a peak at the technique list.

Bobby rivers, I didn't know you were an Ari Bolden fan?

Seems like a rare time where the gi is an advantage. Adjust the grip to a lapel choke et voila...

Haven't been able to find anything re: the bouncer by searching on the youtubes, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm always down for another finish from the truck/baseball bat control, and all the better if its gi-legal.
