Ricardo Almeida, Slick sweeps from the Reaper

LOve it!

Very nice! More stuff to try and work into the game. I'm so glad my introduction to jitz just naturally included leg locks. Why ignore half of the body? You're an incomplete competitor if you only have two limbs and a neck to attack.

I just got Emily Kwoks DVD set on beating larger opponents. It's a great set and she covers the basics of one leg X-guard, which surprise, is practically a reaper setup. they modify it a bit so that it doesn't break the "reap knee" rulle (toes out) but they've developed the position as a primary sweep rather than a leg lock setup.

It's a really interesting take on the position and I've been playing with it a lot lately.

I got that set too. It's really good.

I also got Stephan Kesting's Defense How to tap out less often DVD for free.
Well it was $7.50 for shipping and handling. He gave out something like 500 of them.
Comes out to something like $3,750.
Anyway I have everything Stephan ever made. Omo Plata, Half-Guard, Butterfly Guard,
Knee bars and his All other leglock DVD. All good stuff. 2 discs on Omo Plata. Plus
his seminar DVD I have. He actually gave me a couple of these free for a write up
I did on them.

Very good advise indeed.

You know when you watch a movie when your like eight and it didnt make no damn sense? But then you watch it ten years later(after a leglock camp) and it all makes sense and is a badass movie. Yeah.

That's the best part about jujitsu and MMA, every year my favorite fights just get more and more awesome to watch as I learn more and more.

This stuff is what I'm currently trying to inject into my game

Hows that pass workin for you Zog?
