Who pioneered spiral guard? I have seen that Yukinori Sasa, Yuki Nakai, and more recently the Mendes Bros all have instructional DVDs for spiral guard, but I don't know who pioneered this guard. So if anyone knows, I would like to know. Thanks.

Hilarious. One of the refs lost his running shoe in the scuffle.

In Reverse De La Riva Guard, you cup the heel with your hand. In spiral guard, you underhook the front foot.
