Fabio Passos Crush Attempt at EBI2

[Brandon Mccaghren]

At the 2:00:00 ish mark.

What is that leg crush that Passos jumps on as an attack against the DLR? It's gorgeous and it's right up my alley.

Anybody got more info?

At 10th planet Beaumont we call it the Robson Maura, since that where we learned it. It's a sneaky counter to the dlr. when your down one day bmac then we'll play with it.

Very similar to a ham-sandwich...

[Amir Allam]

That's a ham sandwich from standing. Maybe you could call it a ram sandwich.

[Chris Herzog]

Yup, its a ham sandwich.

[Brian Debes]

yeah, its a ham sandwich. I used to call it a Robson Maura crush or something like that because Robson taught EXACTLY this at a seminar of his I went too about 5 years ago. On the 10th Planet cruise, Scott Epstein taught this same thing only he liked to fall straight on top and not spin underneath.

Its a very valid attack vs Dela Riva for sure. I don't think no-gi Dela Riva would be so common if more people knew allot of the counters.

[Scott Ray]

I love ham sandwiches and turkey wraps. Wait... We're talking about food right?

[Scott Ray]

Barncat, the counters are all leg locks. Until people start developing their leg locks games, the nogi dlr will still be used. Sad, but people still don't see leg-locks in the right light.. I mean, 10p obviously does. But jiujitsu in general.

[Scott Ray]

Also, Robson does it a little different and his entry is also unique, which is why I still had the names seperated. Maybe a Robson ham-sandwich or a Robson entry to modified hammy? I mean, if a guy does a swim move or a back widow, they both armbars... But we have different names because they are not the same thing..

Like everyone else said, its the ham sandwich. Super common DLR counter. Not super high percentage against good players though.....but what is?
