And he can't get more gas because well his truck is lying at the bottom of an Oregon ravine somewhere. How you walked away from that without a scratch. Who are you? Wolverine? Gerald ain't go time to bleed.

Sorry Gerald, not to take anything away from you, but Erik Paulson hit it on Stuart Harrison in 1997. You can see it here in his highlight vid. Start watching at 1:30.

Sick video, damn

[ScottRay]

Paulson was ahead of his time in mma, for sure.

I do love my cat. Peabody is his name. As the truck started rolling I had time to dig my cowboy boots into the fuse box, grab on the steering wheel, and let out a war cry.

ah snap, swim move defense vid by dudes who taught rousey the swim move

Thanks for that link.

The so called juji roll has been around internationally at least since 1976 when it was used in Judo competition by then Soviet judoka Alexander Iatskevich.

The defence shown above by Travis Stevens was seemingly originally posted by Stephan Kesting who writes an interesting background note on his site.

I have not previously seen this defence but see that there are already some negative posts as if a Danaher/Renzo Gracie BB and x2 Olympian does not know what he is talking about. He looks highly accomplished to me.

I knew I recognized that escape, so I dug up the book "Russian Judo" out of my library and yup same one. The entire Judo Materclass series by Ippon books is amazing, I highly recommend them. Russian Judo, Armlocks, Osaekomi and Shimewaza are must haves, however last I heard they were hard to find.

Also as a side note when I first learned the swim move/juji roll I was taught to base on the top of my head,like in this video and still how I execute it, vs. going over the chest. I feel it allows me to maintain a tighter deep hook and it also gives me the option to switch the deep hook and reverse the roll (Head roll juji vs standard hip roll juji)if their base is too strong. I've been calling it the Russian Swim Move, I still teach both I just personally prefer swimming on top of my head.
