10th Planet Decatur at Alabama State Tournament - Manny Rocha Hits Another Sorcerer

[Brandon Mccaghren]

I was looking for it, but I wasn't comfortable with the clinch that I had. And I thought I had the arm triangle when I had him in it, but it doesn't look like his shoulder was pressuring into his corodid enough.

You're a destroyer of worlds. Sometimes it ain't there. No reason to fight a man about it; flow, son.

Great fights Manny, you're a beast!

[Josh Yelverton]

Awesome! It's amazing how smooth he was in setting it up. Great job!

[bobby rivers]

It was so there. But yeah, it would of been a way shorter match and we woulda missed all the other beautiful transitions after.

Nice wax off to armdrag as well. Remember, step through them, not around. So fun to watch you man. The Sorcerer's Apprentice, aka The Roach.

[Chris Herzog]

Awesome work! Love my brotha's from southern mothas!

Outstanding job! Straight up Sniper!!!

Nice, would like to see him get into more action, shoot in get a takedown and ride on top then go to work. Just laying down and pulling guard is not going to work every time against tougher dudes.

1. Dude, he's 14.

2. Statistics seem to indicate that there is no significant advantage to working for a takedown over pulling guard.

3. NOTHING works very well against "tougher dudes." That's why they're tougher dudes.

4. I wouldn't consider what Manny does "just laying down." He's an offensive machine within his age group and weight class, and even in the age and weight class above him.

5. Watch Eddie's competition videos. Then make the same comment. He made it work against some tough dudes, as have countless others including Marcelo Garcia, Jean Jacques Machado, the Miyao Brothers, Mendes Brothers, Michael Langhi, etc...

6. Since you're quick to criticize a 14 year old, I'd be honored to have you provide video evidence of yourself or anyone of your students utilizing your strategy in a competition match.

7. I love you

Shots fired!

Super smooth transition to the RNC from the arm triangle. So many people (myself included) would've kept cranking the arm triangle until gassing out. Very impressive performance!
