This Episode Scott and I just start to scratch the surface of the Capoeira Quarter Guard Killers including the Capoeira Cowboy, Capoeira Crush, Capoeira Clamp, Capoeira 411 and Capoeira Cloverleaf. Over 20 minutes long and there still some much we didn't get to share. The Capoeira Killers go deep!

Nice! Thanks Chris!
yes I've been waiting for this!
I was not disappointed at all. Great material. Scott's portion was a nice cherry on top.
EDIT:
Coach, regarding the kneebar, is it acceptable to do a one armed kneebar? I've been using the Keenan kneebar trap with really good success ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoUv2kmQ7_A ) . But sometimes, if I can't trap the free foot, I'll just keep hold of the toes, then I reach my other hand behind my neck, and I knee bar with one arm. Is that a bad habit, or a good back up to when you can't get a proper kneebar?
Always use two arms when possible. Legs are far stronger than arms, even 2 arms at the best leverage points may not be enough to control a real strong mans leg.
If you must use one arm, use the shotgun grip. However even with the shotgun grip you need to have perfect positioning to avoid counter attacks. I see high level guys demonstrating it dangerously incorrect all over the place.
Stay ahead of your opponents, reduce their options as much as possible:

OK, so the shotgun kneebar uses your back muscles to fight the leg. That makes sense because you can deadlift more than you can leg curl. I think that's why my one arm kneebar works when I use it. It's the same principle but a different configuration. When I grab the back of my neck, my arm muscles are no longer working. It's all back muscles. But if it's a bad habit, I'll get rid of it. Thanks for the input coach.
Game changing!

So awesome, this made my day! Thanks :)
Oh ok. I got it. Thanks again coach.Quote:

The Cloverleaf is my new favorite thing, Scott. Thanks!
Excellent!!. Might the knee bar trap come into play when he has the right leg on top ? You might have to pull it up and across and figure four the shin to get it.
Finally got to watch this. Excellent stuff. It all mixes together so nicely
nice
