    Twister variation

    I was watching some wrestling videos on leg riding and I ran into an interesting variation of the wrestlers guillotine/twister. The variation starts at the 2:30 mark. Just wondering if you guys think it could be utilized in jiujitsu, or maybe it is being utilized and i don't know about it? Anyways here is the video.

    Crossbody Ride with a Power Nelson setup. I think that was a favourite of the late Karl Gotch. Josh Barnett shows it on his Punishing Rides DVD.

    Unless you were referring to the finish. Might be able to get it quick, but I would think easier to defend. Can't really pin a guy with that in wrestling either, but it'll help you get some back points for sure.

    At the least it looks like a nice way to get 80% to the twister from that leg ride. Looks cool.

    There are some variations that lend better for a pin or back back by turning belly down to flatten your opponent. The biggest difference is the foot battle that you seen in jiu jitsu vs wrestling. I have been doing "Twisters" in wrestling since jr high and there is a big difference in posish between.
