some fast submissions there
those heel hooks.. its just.. always.. just.. humph
nice :-D
Warning. Dont fuck with the legs locks coming out of Rochester. They may take the leg home with them. That was awesome.
Very nice as usual Scott!
Great stuff right there!! :)
People seem ready to as soon as you get a leg. Smart.
So you just shoot the single to trap the leg? Takin it.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:-)
That's a great vid. Scott has weapons from everywhere, but his butterfly guard is REALLY dangerous. My warning bells go off in Scott's butterfly guard like Marcelo's got my back. :)
LOL Awsome stuff Scott. Love the nickname as well. I feel left out...
10th Planet Rochester is the real deal!!!
I just watched that today and saw that dumb post, not all nicknames are scary. Josh "the fluke" Grispi Frank "Twinkle Toes" Trigg Vladimir “The Janitor” Matyushenko
I'm going with "The Dalmatian". I'm pale as fuck and covered in little black (and blue) spots.
That was great! Nice and fast.
Dayum! Scott is on fire! 10th Planet Rochester always brings the heat, great work Herzog! :)
Congratulations Chris and Scott. Very nice triangle and heel hook.
scott is solid. it was my pleasure to be there.
Shocking low, especially using The Reaper from bottom positions, maybe 30% of the time and even against higher level competition. However attacking the legs by reaping the knee from a top position, say from inside someones guard the % for defending correctly goes up. Moral of the story... attack your opponent with things that don't know and don't see coming.
thank you everyone for the props it means a lot!!!! It was along day for me b/c my semi-final match was against Matt Arroyo which went a very very long 9 and half minutes before I got hit with an armbar. I've been working hard on my butterfly guard all year, I want to get to the point of everyone being scared of my butterfly guard. Like people are scared of Denny with his guillotine or Seans rubber guard. Thanks again and can't for this season to start!
would love to see this transition (single>butterfly>reaper>heal hook) make it to MTS. great work!
When securing butterfly for the reaper.. what key grips are you ideally looking for and what major grips are you defending against in order to defend your setup?
I noticed that Yokkel had his left hand on the guy's shin before he pivoted out and shoved him back to make space for the reaper. Was that ideal or an adaptive maneuver?
Starting from the Cocoon position with a over/under is the standard starting position for The Reaper(from butterfly guard).
That was an adaptive move by Scott, I think (and he can answer that himself) he was still in the midst of transitioning to butterfly guard from his single leg attmept and his opponent gave him the opening for the reaper before he was actually in the Cocoon position, so he just went for it for.
Scott will be the first one to tell you he still has work/reps to do on the reaper series, all though he is hitting almost everyone in competition with The Reaper and is currently my number one guy when it comes to leg locking guys in competition (he just recently passed Wally a very impressive leg locker in his own right) he still makes mistakes and he needs to refine the transitions. He gets away with it, because most people have no clue as how to defend or even see it coming. But the stiffer the competition the tighter he'll need to get those transitions, which will open other options (toe holds, calf crushes, taking the back, etc.)when his opponents actually start defending it correctly.
Not to mention Scott is currently only using the rear sweep off The Reaper and hasn't even touched the forward sweeping Reaper in competition yet, which opens up a whole different path
Wow........Scott won with a heel hook !!!!!!! When the F@#K did he learn those ???????? LOL.
Awesome, always good things from 10th Planet Rochester.
I guess this question is for either Scott or Chris. When someone does decide to bring their posture in, to block the outside leg from reaping the knee, what is your next step? Currently, for me, it just turns into a weird little shoving match to get them back far enough for me to clear my leg through, which doesn't always go in my favor.
It depends, if you can keep your outside foot on his hip, you'll take your inside leg and sweep his far leg. when he falls on his butt, turn on your hip and get to the leg knot. If you cant keep your foot on the hip, just to x-guard.
If he is pressuring into your prior to getting your heel on the outside hip, you've skipped a step (we call it the Heisman, posting your hand in his armpit while you hook your leg on his outside hip...also make sure your on your side. So if your reaping with your right leg you'll be on your left side with your left hand in his left arm pit(arm locked out like the Heisman), similar to going for the electric chair.
If he is pressuring into you after you have the Reaper in, than you can cleave his far knee with your non reaping leg to break his posture and flatten him out, go to the outside wedge or x-control with your legs, you can finish there with a heel hook or ankle lock, however if they try to roll out you can swim move all the way back to top position and get the leg knot and finish from there.
@ Chris: Great advice. I knew I was doing something wrong with how I was making space because it required way too much muscle. Pimp arming the arm pit makes perfect sense.
@Scott: I need to work on my x-guard game. I get lucky from there but I really need to develop a transition between it and the leg reap because you're right, the transition is right there.
Thanks again guys, your advice is always immensely helpful.
nice vid scott!
leg locks TTT
