Awesome.. I brought up the idea of this awhile back and kinda got dismissed. This is also similar to the abdominal stretch in pro wrestling / catch wrestling. (I know, catch wrestling... who knew.)
Shouldn't he have lockdown on the leg and control the guys foot?
Nice!
I can see this working.. INJECTED.
The takedown is sweet but the finish will only work on white belts :)
nice
i have a feeling that Ricardo may be able to get it on a blue or purple :)Quote:

always knew this was possible putting it in my rep basket
good sweep to the truck. but the steps after that are pretty low percentage. he maybe needs to buy mastering the twister book.
The takedown is all i need.
That's what I thought too. I like the takedown. Plus, even if you can't drop him backwards into the truck, you have a good grip to control his body while standing. For MMA it's good too cuz you won't be eating any strikes.....and if he falls forward, you'll land in desouza control (is that right?) and all you gotta do is pull him on you and you're in the truck anyway. That is of course if you do the truck properly (Almeida wasn't).Quote:

I been running this TD through my head too. I feel like 10th could improve on it cuz the moment you break your grip to switch over to the "high crotch" there's a window that lets your man spin out or reverse you. Once you break that grip, if you don't end up grabbing that leg, you've lost your man. A good wrestler would reverse.
I'm thinking that 10th could take the idea of the take down and improve on it with little adjustments to reduce the risk of getting reversed or adding more control to the transition.
Maybe getting a regular high crotch while grapevining the leg and falling back like a trip and then adjust for the truck on the way down?
IDK, maybe I'm letting my imagination run away with me. But I'm 100% sure a good wrestling guy from 10th would improve on this.
Just go ahead and underhook the arm instead of high crotching... then fall back.
