i can deeg it haha. you should go to an all gi comp and pull it haha theyll be all like............WHAAAAA?!?!
I think it's cool that you got it in general, i don't see where the gi/nogi makes a difference.
Nice man
I had the sorcerer all the way to both feet in the "gogoplata" position and double zombie going. But, the guy I had it on has elbows that can bend past 180 degrees a bit and somehow turned his elbows in. Is there any way to prevent that?
Nice good work

Probably easier to do in a gi aside from breaking the posture. My rg is more solid in a gi for real. My goal tonight is to hit one for the first time, got a couple reps yesterday and it's very doable.
clear the head, test the gogo, test the sorcerer and if they dont work just go to perpendicular jiu claw. thats my way of doing things usually.
the game changes when you're dealing with genetic freaksQuote:

Good for him though, submission resistance isn't a bad thing to have right? I'll just take the satisfaction of having progressed all the way to the finish position of the Sorcerer despite no tap.Quote:

That's when you switch it back to the gogo. Some people just have too much flexibiliy to sub with certain moves
