Yeah this is def the stuff we study lol!

I can't get over how funny this has been xD

When taking notes, don't leave out the detail about removing your choking leg's shoe prior to threading your foot through the arms for the triangle choke! (:

That was the first crucial detail we picked up

the out of bounds rules are always shaky. they are very clearly defined, yet somehow, every reff has a different idea of what they mean.

Nice job, James. I like your lockdown work. Needs a bit of refinement, but your definitely on the right path. Keep it up!

Congratulations, Louis, on your new rank of Black Belt! Well deserved!

Thank you for you comment. I really appreciate criticism.
Though I have been greatly improving my control within the lockdwon over the past 4 months.
During this match I had a gable grip around my opponent's leg (1:28) and could not establish my base to come to the top.
Yes, I stuck with it and eventually achieved my goal. But from those grips specifically I feel I could be more efficient.
Any advice?

Great rolling man. Shit. Powderkeg on Turtle, basically. Or the one Denny shows in the All Stars DVD, when he is on Epsteins back and Epstein tries to shake him off over the head...
I don't know why I have never thought of that. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[James O'Brien II]

Sick finish man. "Out of bounds" lmao

Thanks!

"Out of Bounds" Hah! Ha!

There is no running away in Jiu-Jitsu!

If he hadn't tried running away,
I wouldn't point out the fact that he squealed like a trampled puppy when I finished the triangle choke (:
-- In which you can hear clearly on the video (;

It was a fun match.
And looking back, it was an exciting way to finish the tournament (:

It is an awesome set up, catches a lot of people by surprise.
I give credit to Ryan Hall for introducing me to this set up.
I get excited like a kid in a candy shop when I see the opening for the submission! xD
