Soneca is the most attractive in jui jitsu. This is fact. He's 160 lbs so omo is his goto from closed guard and he's got variation for days. I got my purple under him using 10p. He appreciates our tech.
That sweep they started with is one Alan showed Eddie when they were training. Eddie said, "Thats good, but since he can elbow, try this." Then proceeded to demonstrate the boa to twistback. Alan was stuck in his ways and got beat down in bottom half by Yushin. Helio also just took his back from same posish. Once you're good, the hardest part can be to relearn.
Wow invisible collar-like to swim move to armbar...very nice. Will keep that in mind. Is this the Alan Belcher from ABMMA? Cus at the last tournament, there was a kid from ABMMA in MS that beat Cora in the finals. Have to book mark this thread for future reference.

Soneca's game really is beautiful. I've had the opportunity to train with him a few times and he usually blows me away with something. I took a private with him about a year ago on passing the guard . It was incredible.
The last seminar I took under him, he showed a lot of his omoplata style attacks that you saw in this video. Afterwards, I asked him how he felt about Eddie and his game. He showed 100% class and respect for Eddie. He said, "I learned my jiu jitsu from Jean Jacques Machado, who is his teacher. If I say Eddie has bad jiu jitsu, then I must say I have bad jiu jitsu. But I have great jiu jitsu."
Then he told me a story about how every time that Jean Jacques would come to pick him up for class, he would be asleep. That's how he got the name "Soneca."

I watched that and was thinking it looked like an awesome idea. Deep half to the truck is pretty sick. There's something there, we just gotta figure it out.
