Attention: Chris Herzog!!! You are my new best friend...

[Josh Smith]

Thank you Chris for your series on the Russian Cowboy... This guy had WAY better fundamentals than me... He's a Gracie Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt.. I just tried to survive until I saw an opportunity and then BAM! Russian Cowboy to Calf Crush... I can't wait to til December to learn some more leg lock stuff... Thank you once more!!!


P.S. I look like a dumbass trying to do deep half!!! I don't think I quite have the concept of that position...

[Ryan Cook]

I was just fucking screaming at the computer... when you were doing the deep half and you got up to your knees and had one of his legs trapped between yours with the other one across your back, you had already swept him. All you had to do was go straight into the double unders pass. Boom.

[Brandon Mccaghren]

nice work, kiddo!

watch out leaving your elbows exposed like that in the deep half. you are pretty lucky to have not been triangled, methinks.

[Josh Smith]

Thanks for the comments guys.. I really don't know deep half for real (I'm sure that's obvious) but I Didn't want him getting past my legs... I couldn't play open guard cuz of a broken toe so it was either closed guard, half guard, or my horrible version of deep half... Maybe we can work on it when you come down next month Mr. McCaghren? I actually tapped him with an arm triangle from mount but didn't have enough memory to tape it and he got me with an arm bar as well... It was a good night of training!!!

But did you hear the breathing??? Thank you for that... I never would have made it through that match without my wind... Rolling with that dude was exhausting!!!

That's a really good idea!!! I never though about that... Thanks Ryan!!!

Thanks Bro, see ya in December!!! I can't wait...

[Ryan Marshall]

Good Job, deep half is something I was able to include in my game too. You got that sweep early,modified Homer right? It was very nice. The submission was great, keep it up.

[NelsonLucca]

Josh had the sweep early but never took advantage. No homer
