One of those is usually the standard response to any 10P technique =)
The truck is actually a very old wrestling move. I was doing it in high school before I knew what Jiu Jitsu was but I was just going for banana splits. The calf slicer is also a very old submission hold which is what Minotauro was going for in this video. He just happened to end up in the truck position while doing it. 10th Planet wasn't the first to do a lot of the moves that they teach and Eddie usually mentions when it isn't something he or his students came up with as well. I will say naming the truck as a position and systemizing it as a dead zone with a plethora of finishes is probably all 10th Planet. But at the same time a lot of the moves you see today, not just 10th Planet were around for a while.
