Damn, should have written Caio!

[Steve Kennedy]

solid toe hold attempts!!!

[Ericp]

He does train with Denny a lot

[Tranlers]

That was pretty neat. Was he using the London, and if so, why? I thought it was a retired form of the rubber guard.

[Adam Fritz]

Anytime I think of Ciao, I think of Jeff Glover's impersonation of him.....and it makes me laugh

London/William's Guard has lots of merit. Eddie stopped working with it in the RG path but that doesn't mean it's useless or that other BJJ practitioners wont use it.

Caio is so open minded. He had Denny teach some stuff on his website too.

London works if your opponent isn't aware that he can cartwheel out of it into side control. Most jitzers don't know this counter so it can still be very useful

Plus, there's a counter to the counter - single leg:

I really like this counter. It just means having a good single leg game from your knees which is important in mma!!!
