its been a while since the last technique.. this is an Eduardo Telles move.. its sneaky way to get a sub while trying to pass with the knee-in-side. if you dont catch it, at least you've passed the guard and kept your opponent defensive.
here it is:

ok.. i don't know if this is the brabo choke.. i think it is.. its the same choke Noguiera used to tap out herring..
this choke comes off of the sprawl and when you have an over under.. you can't REALLy work a guillotine from there so, this is a sneaky option that may catch people by surprise.

So here are my predictions and why
Kimo over Ken Shamrock 2nd round KO
Kimo is big.. I don't think he has the endurance to go the full distance but he won't need to as I think he beats Shamrock standing in the second round.

so its been a while since I've posted. What can i say? I have a friggin torn ACL so yeah, there are things to do. I realize that I've never shown a triangle on yet so, here is one from the guard.. fairly basic. The staple of gracie jiujitsu and I mean, just a great way to setup so much shit.

Yeah, so we haven't had a sweep ever since I started this journal.. SO.. here's a scissors sweep. Sweeps are an integral part of jiu jitsu for a couple of reasons.. One: They put you in a dominant position. Two: They force your opponent to defend against them (for fear of losing dominant position) leaving you able to transition to a submission ( Read more... )

Now, I haven't been in too many street fights. But I have seen many fights. I went to an all boys highschool...

And I'll tell you this, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PLAYING GUARD WHEN ON THE PAVEMENT. Why? Well, because there are no rules and you can get dropped on your back unlike tournament jiujitsu and this isn't no tatame mat you will be making ( Read more... )

Now, jiujitsu is all about setting up a move with other moves.
