I've been playing with the berimbolo alot and been trying to gel the berimbolo transition to the truck. Still a work in progress but its fun and it works really well! They key for me I find, is to get a grip of my opponents wrist so that their defensive options are far more limited and the transition to the truck pretty much exclusively comes when they try desparately to fight it. If I do it from a double guard pull situation it's much easier

[Brent Smith]

I have found berimbolo is MUCH easier from double guard pull. From DLR you have to figure out out to put them on their butt but without those grips it's a bit more difficult. I can't wait to play with the technique.

There Are Videos Out There Of This.

Definitely easier from double guard pull, but if its not there, I just go from DLR to the back with the traditional DRL back take. If they keep defending it well, then I look to kick out their back leg to put them on their butts, enabling me to berimbolo

First Ive seen it.

I couldn't find any of the other ones, but here is one I recorded about a year ago.
I don't know if I've ever seen an instructional on it though.

I guess what I thought was cool was how Gianni countered the counter with a slightly different way of getting to the truck than what you just did. He does it if the opponent tries to scoot away making the roll difficult.

Yea, it's a different situation for sure. I guess I misunderstood what you were talking about.

There is such limited info out there on the nogi dlr and berimbolo stuff. I've seen the truck transition before though. I'd have to dig a little bit.

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.
