Question for 10th Planet guys who have been around a while...

I was looking around for some of Jason Mallory's techniques (I think he trained at HQ from 2007-2008) on the internet and they are nowhere to be found. He used to have a website called No-Gigrappling.com and it is down. He also had an interesting triangle set up I believe was called The Master Blaster and I wanted to look at it again for reference. I cannot remember if he set it up from New York, London, or with just an overhook. Also, if the technique has evolved and the name has changed, I would be interested in knowing. Thank you.

I guess I left out the question(s)? What happened to his stuff? Does anyone have access to his Master Blaster breakdown? Is there an updated 10th Planet version of the Master Blaster? If so, what is it called?

You can search the archives for it but I didn't find anything by that name. Lots of stuff on the puppet master (not positive how sure you are about the name of the technique you're looking for).
Way Back Machine has the site archived for a few years worth.
Good Luck. If you find it, post it here. I'm curious.

I am all but positive the name is the Master Blaster. I think it is an overhook in closed guard with the opponent's free arm being locked up with a reverse kimura. The reverse kimura is then pushed inward making him vulnerable for a triangle. What I am not sure is how he sets up the overhook, but I think it is from New York. I checked the archive and I didn't find it. I think my sensei might remember it though so I might ask him if I can record him demoing it the next time I see him.

Now that I am thinking about it, maybe it was an arm drag instead of a reverse kimura.

Thanks for the trip down nostalgia lane. I feel like the forums were so much more active back in the day. I remember all the debates over the puppet master series. I was into speed cubing at the time so I was desperate to make the Rubix Cube fit into my game. No-gi-grappling.com is still my second most missed website (Lockflow.com is the first). C'est la vie. I'm pretty sure one of the following is what you are looking for.

Reverse kimuras are a super legit option from closed guard, especially against guys who deny you the overhook by pressing on your ribs. You get sort-of an invisible overhook (overlooking without the zombie basically), then you grab your own wrist with the overhooking arm and hook your opponents wrist. If you twist your body and push the wrist in then you've got a nice setup for an arm drag to the back, barataplata, or whatever this thing is:

That's it! It wasn't a reverse kimura but a double wrist grip. Thank you!

Reverse kimuras are definitely legit. This Muriplata looks like a variation of The Duda (one of my favorite 10th Planet Techniques). I have been working on refining a reverse kimura setup, finish, and combo into a bicep slicer from top side control. 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

Holy moly...this thread is gold! Gonna work on integrating this into my game.

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!

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.
