I'm no twister expert, but that doesn't look very "twisty" to me.

[Jon-Michael Holland]

No

[Brandon Mccaghren]

I like it. A lot actually.

BMac, is it twisting the spine? Or is it more of like a diaphragm compression? I mean, it looks like it causes pain, but I don't see the spine lock.

[Brandon Mccaghren]

I think it's more of a "crush your soul and cause it to be excreted through your pores" type of submission. Not twisting the spine too much, I don't believe.

This is the kind of stuff I live for.

Bodytriangles from behind can severely hurt the floating ribs. Do not do that shit to your training partners. I have had it done to me and I was screwed up for over 2 months because of it.

Armbars can hurt your training partner's elbow, but I assume you use armbars.

Were you a little late on the tap, or did you just figure you should not tap from a body triangle?

I'm a newbie but at this point I'm tapping to anything that hurts. I've tapped just cause a dude who outweighed me by 60lb was sitting on me for too long while demonstrating things to other people and talking to them.

Also remember your joints, your bones, your muscles, they will all get more durable and conditioned from years of Jit Jitsu. Pushing all those things too hard too early is just a way to lose mat time from injury.

I understand though. You were caught and you wanted to fight out of it. Props for fighting!

If that's hard training, or a competition, or an MMA fight, or a street situation, it's all a matter of degrees. If you are fighting for your life, and you survive with a 2 month rib injury, bravo!! If you are just rolling open mat on a friday night and you walk away with 2 months of pain and reduced training, someone made a mistake. Just my 2 cents though.
