I'm pretty sure one of the following is what you are looking for

I was about to say that Jason was very active in Lockflow for a long time. Too bad that site is no longer around.

What I found was interesting is the origins of the Master Blaster seems to go back to the 90's with Walt Bayless, but it would be cool to see if maybe it goes back further. I ran it today on one of my team's blue belts and I am thinking about trying to set it up from bottom side control to create space for a butterfly hook.

Used the master blaster today. The butterfly sweep was pretty easy but my training partner was able to suck me into his closed guard. Need to work on refining this!

I also understand Budo Jake is releasing a DVD soon on the reverse kimura and I might be dropping dollars on a DVD for the first time in a long time. https://www.budovideos.com/products/...d-by-budo-jake

Yeah definitely one of my best closed guard moves is the reverse kimura to arm drag-- simple but so effective. Once you get the reverse kimura grip, you twist your body in, push the wrist into his ribs as though you're going for some weird shoulder lock, then release the inside wrist control and grab behind the tricep for a vicious arm drag to the back. Works really well against people who are used to your rubber guard or just people who generally guard against the overhook.
