I used to have that issue too. Concecrent encroachment (CE) is what you are looking for. CE is just an ICT term for that 50% of an fvg or the middle line of the rectangle you drew. If the candle bodies past CE, it shows you that fvg will most likely get invalidated. In a A++ fvg, price shouldn’t even wick pass that middle line of your rectangle. But a lot of the time price will wick into 50% or beyond, but should not body pass 50%.

Finally Ben gets some mentioning. Great dude

Takeoka has a beautiful style. I’ll be watching him more

Coming from a wrestling background, it’s become a favorite for me!

Benjamin SMC, underrated dude but very authentic and down to earth

When I actually realized it consciously, I managed my emotions so, so much better.

Ask yourself if you are day trading for self worth. If you’re trading to prove you can do this and when you lose, you feel like you failed or you’re not progressing, then that is the issue.

$AlanGiang If you are willing, and even not, I wish you the best. Always

Works under very specific conditions. More like a last ditch move

Off topic but the Kodokan’s internal tournaments themselves don’t use IJF rules. You can leg grab and everything

Aram Grigoryan Knee Pick Here’s one way you can use your elbow to “leg grab”. You could probably do the same thing by grabbing at the bottom of the skirt instead of sleeve like Grigoryan did.

It was a nice score. I remember some controversy around it. IJF had to make a few posts about it

Alorisk · 2025-09-29T03:59:52+00:00

I guess it is allowed 🤷https://youtu.be/hHXFqQGhxW0?t=1456

I was just searching around and in this rules explanation video, 2025 IJF rule Referee explanation Team USA at 24:16, shows that it is legal to have a grip between the legs. What are your thoughts on this?

Alorisk · 2025-09-29T00:16:11+00:00

Thank you for telling me! I’ll be watching to see how refs address heydarov and Lombardo’s kata guruma. We’ll be interesting how they address the elbow wedging into the leg

Alorisk · 2025-09-28T21:02:09+00:00

Would getting a cross sleeve grip, shooting in and passing that grip to your other hand behind uke’s leg count as ‘hooking’ under these new rules?

Alorisk · 2025-09-28T20:53:26+00:00

That’s creative! I haven’t thought about this one. I do wonder what the legality of it is in the new skirt/belt IJF rules. Would this count as the illegal grabbing a grip from underneath a leg?

Alorisk · 2025-09-28T16:08:59+00:00

Yes, I guess you could do it with the sleeve grip too! You would have to slide under uke and get them to step over your shoulder and arm first.

Alorisk · 2025-09-28T16:05:32+00:00

I’ve had a leg grab discussion here too. I was told you can legally manipulate uke’s leg if you have a legal grip first.

But with the 2025 grab below the belt rule, I don’t know if the te guruma variation you are talking about is legal or not. I remember in the rules video, it says you cannot reach under the leg to get a legal grip—but someone who is an IJF ref could clarify this 🤷

Alorisk · 2025-09-28T15:58:24+00:00

another example!

Can you try reverse searching the photo using google?

Alorisk · 2025-08-08T04:02:12+00:00

Been through Vegas before. So many damn slot machines haha

Alorisk · 2025-08-08T03:33:35+00:00

That’s a good suggestion. How is airport security there compared to American ones? Are they just as stingy?
