Twister from Guard?

[Max P.]

Just came across this sambo video

Is this legit? Did someone hit that in a roll yet?

[Sean Marshall]

octopus guard neck crank?

[AJ Camacho]

Getting that arm up and over is half the battle. Either way, it looks cool though.

[Sean Marshall]

check out octopus guard dvd. The ways the dvd shows how to use it makes me just wait for people to give it to me, if im thinking about it.

I just remembered, im thinking about someone posturing up and punching to the head, you can duck under the punch and sneak back there

isnt that guy in guard and call it Twister???

[Jonathan Wylie]

uh....no

[Jonathan Wylie]

The more I watch this the dumber it gets the worst case scenario if you were dumb enough to get caught in this is you give up your back and fight from there its not even a submission!

[Jonathan Wylie]

I wonder how much money people got ripped off for to attend this "seminar"

[Jonathan Wylie]

how is two arms on one with a double wrist lock a strength vs strength game? I always thought that was technique over power. Gee, I wonder why nobody else ever thought to do a kimura that way?

[Tyler Woolsey]

Our core group down here at the Miami Hotbox has seen this and done some drills and played with it and it's legitimate if you can get your arm deep under their armpit. Yes, it is a battle and you have to know when to try for it but it does work in live rolling. If someone postures up in guard pretend to try for hip bump and get the arm under the armpit!

[Jonathan Wylie]

ok, again what is stopping the person from just giving up there back when you use both hands to go for the neck crank? If you could even get to that position. By the way this guy is a complete fraud.
