Fallen in love with the Leg Knot

[Brian Debes]

So you guys that focus a lot on lower body attacks (Herzog, Yockel, Debes), did that hinder/retard your upper body attacks at all? I know that since I've spent little time on leg locks and pretty much exclusively focused on upper body attacks, my leg lock game I soooo bad.

No more than working Japanese neck ties and darces will (moves you don’t need to pass to complete)… The only issue is you don’t need to pass and hold side control/mount to do leg attacks… and you defiantly want to develop that. But as long as you have those dominate positions mastered, it makes them better. For example, learning the truck doesn’t make your back attacks worse, it adds another dimension because its harder to defend when there is more to worry about that is CONNECTED. Learning a leg attack from guard can make it easier to pass not harder when you have both, same with sweeps and leg locks from the bottom. I hope that all made sense

not really.....just another bullet in the magazine.

Pretty much what I said but way shorter incase that’s your thing

Makes perfect sense. I appreciate the response

On a side not I was in a leg lock war and didn't come out the winner once. Nate Werst I hate your face..you stud.

I'm looking forward to this. The pay what you want option is pretty cool.

I havent heard of anyone doing that as far as technique videos. I think its a good idea cause these guys that sell theirs for $200 just make me want to find a torrent. BTW its up on his site and ready to buy.

Yeah. That's why I HAD to jump on Mastering the Twister at the pre order price. I mean seriously, $50 is a steal when other guys are charging over $100 with poor production.

Anyhow, I appreciate Riley's approach on this. I'll be getting this on friday for sure.

That was an awesome highlight. Is Imanari still fighting?

I've watched 2/3 of the Top Rock dvd and its pretty damn good. Works perfectly off my knee slice that at this point was already high percentage. Just going to get that much better now
