Electric Chair for silver at Worlds

http://i63.tinypic.com/2luxwzn.png. Got electric chair for silver at NoGi Worlds. Had the gold won but didn't know commands and let go of a kimura because I thought the ref called the fight when he was actually giving a penalty point to my opponent for grabbing his rash guard in defence. I was gun shy on submission because I popped this guys knee bad in the chair, heard it pop felt it pop and he screamed so I was worried about hurting guys shoulder bad. Lesson learned is know al ibjjf commands and don't let go of move/position.

I want to say thank you to Slick Rick that came up to Sacramento and helped me prepare and to Jason Fray at Walnut Creek 10P for preparing me as well. And of course to everyone at Infinite Jiu Jitsu for helping and supporting me! Also thank you to Eddie Bravo for having so much info on here for only $5!!!! I learn so much from this amazing site!!!!!

Happy to rep 10P as a Ronin and even threw up the sign in the podium pics... Can't wait to go for gold next year with all the knowledge I got this year!

If anyone knows how to pull video from the flo site please let me know and I will post match.....

Knee pop in electric chair?

I've never heard of that happening. Were you cranking hard and putting rotational pressure on the knee joint? Or doing a combined electric Chair Knee bar or something else? You would think it would be the groin muscles that would get pulled...

Congrats man

It was the lockdown leg and he was trying to twist it out as I was bringing him up.

Thank you!

Electric Chair can definitely injure the knee. I've seen more blown knees from Electric Chairs than Rubber Guard, Reaping the Knee, and Heel Hooks combined.

Thank you BMac!

I've popped like 3 or 4 knees from electric chairs. While reviewing my past videos, I realized they're getting popped when the opponent faces away from you and base, then move away from you while executing the electric chair sub.

Awesome job Scott!

Most injuries that I have seen around electric chairs involve the guy trying to base their way out of it and not respecting the lockdown, sounds similar to your case.

Thank you Alex, and thank you for all the help this year!
