more than anything it was cool to compete against a black belt for the first time and also this guy had a sweet counter to my attempt at the calf crank and i thought you fellas would like to see it.

Well, I mean, a legit black belt is a legit black belt. No shame in getting tapped by a BB.

It was a straight achilles no? Was reaping illegal?

toe hold

[nathan orchard]

well it was a toe hold but it was a bit of a knee bar too and there seemed to be a bit of twisting pressure on the knee as well. yes reaping was illegal.

The GB guys are all solid around here. They're all pretty cool too. We've got some GB guys in our Hotbox and they're all respectful of Eddie and 10th Planet.

Im talking about your attack that you called a calph crank. You shoulda reaped and heelhooked for better control and hides your feet better. I know from experiance. But Ive never grappled a BB in comp. Looked good. Props.

Edit:That came out way wrong. Just seein if you attack the calf or achilles and why do you not reep?

Nice work Nathan. Keep that left foot flat to the floor so he can't pick the toe hold or heel hook option. Keep your shin and knee in his chest for distance. Keep your foot in his loaves. Minimize the leg distance of your inside bent leg. If you feel him threaten, give up turning to the right and turn left instead, straighten your left leg, exposing his left heel for toe/heel hook.

Now once he has you locked in the toe hold, there's a good toe hold escape that you should know(bodycomb). There may be others but be ready to tap as you're dealing in murky waters at that point.
