Berimbolo To The Truck

[sean applegate]

Ill admit I'm not very clear most of the time so its understandable lol. Very limited but I'm trying to change that, and I'm sure others are too. Looks like your DLR->Berimbolo is pretty smooth so obviously you've been working on it a bit.

Thanks man, I've been on the dlr grind for about 2 years now. Eddie taught it at a seminar and I was hooked

I wish there were more nogi dlr info out there though. There is no reference point for this stuff lol

I've been watching a bunch of gi DLR stuff and trying to convert it no gi. Some converts, most doesnt. But the Mendes Bros DLR videos have been the best so far to teach myself.

[sean applegate]

Mendes bros. def know what's up.

I actually have a de la riva affiliate school near me, so I've been able to get a little help.

The only problem is those guys aren't playing the newer style of dlr. still solid, just not the same.

A NoGi specific DVD set focused on Berimbolo and DLR would be a cash cow if someone was to act quickly on it. A lot of people are interested in these techniques NoGi.

It's bound to happen. I'm surprised it hasn't yet. Then again no gi still seems to be the minority.

The hip motion for nogi is identical. The huge difference would be that instead of using a singular grip throughout a motion, your hands would have to be intelligently mobile. Like the initial belt grip with his right hand would be wrist or drag(tricep) control then go for the hip after inversion. If you lose the hip pushig the ribs or tricep upward will force him to clear your hand and bring his hip back. The left land that was on the heel is huge too. You've completed the above it switches to the other leg. It pretty much has to advance in stages. I go from shin, to hamstring, to far hip(kinda like a spiral ride). Get the back often(which always means you could truck if you choose) but end in side more often at the moment. You have to be able to climb reeeeally good.

This leg drag while inverted is brilliant and will def increase my %'s. Evolution. Awesome.

I really enjoy exploring the positions and playing around with them, it's a tonne of fun for me. &my instructor Stew, is constantly playing around with developing new defences and ideas to combat the cool positions I learn or play around with so that I get both sides to things. He's the main reason why I'm able to pick up on, or discover new transitions and positions through live defence from opponents. Also, I did a seminar with Darson Hemmings and he really opened up my ideas surrounding doing traditionally gi techniques in nogi. I already had great exposure with Stew and the other team I have the opportunity of learning from in Toronto, but Darson had an intersting twist on things and is basically constantly studying and adapting the berimbolo and spider guard, etc for nogi so that his game is almost identicle in both gi and nogi (at least that's what I took from the seminar)

Im gonna figure this out No Gi watch and see.

Come at me bro

[Brent Smith]

Come at me bro

Be careful what you ask for cause you just may get it!

[Brent Smith]

I just noticed he doesnt quite get the truck but has a low figure four to expose the back. I still think with that leg drag it should be relatively easy to get the truck.
