Also, we had a 220lb white belt nail this during live training tonight. If he starts killing with this we're all in big trouble.
After we started learning some of the mechanics, I had Chad and Manny put me in it. Once it's on, it's nearly impossible to escape.
Incredible stuff.
Do you have shorter than average limbs? Guys with shorter limbs do have a problem being long enough to do the move. You want to rest your elbow past your foot so it's just sitting on top of your leg/ankle. Then you put the boot on with your foot to keep the arm there and keep pressure off your foot. When getting into the move you want to wrap across the top of your foot and this will bend it a bit, but once in hindu control you just want to be on your leg so there isn't any pressure on the foot. If your limbs are too short you might not have room there for it. You might also just need to hip out onto your right hip and get more angle.

One thing I didn't mention, a strong stache is highly recommended before attempting this move. Results will vary.
