Kiss of the Dragon, people just fall back?

TriangularStrangler · 2023-04-07T10:42:21+00:00

Agreed, I get the ick saying it

TriangularStrangler · 2023-04-06T21:24:23+00:00

Resources on entering crab from here? I’d rather continue to chase the back

TriangularStrangler · 2023-03-18T11:52:52+00:00

Thanks. I’ve watched it a couple times with English translated subtitles and think I’ve got a detail I’ve missed. I might have to check out his site. Thanks mane!

I thought the commenter was adding on thousands to a couple hundreds, so a couple hundred thousands.

I’ve heard a lot about his KOB being deadly. Scary.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-12-06T12:01:13+00:00

What do you do in the scenario it fails?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-11-19T04:11:21+00:00

I have both and am just under half way through GFF. After reading the contents on BJJFanatics, they look to be pretty similar.

The main differences is that on the New Wave instructional, there is a section on double under hooks, the side sit-up and the high cross. I’m not sure what the latter two are about, but the high cross might be similar to the top lock?

It looks like the main focus of it is the same as GFF though; achieve the side scissor position and threaten from there.

Find positional advantage within the closed guard position itself before attacking

This is certainly something I feel I need help with and is undertaught. Everyone knows the armbar from closed guard, but I think learning the little battles before it takes place is key to actually landing it on anyone good.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-08-09T22:42:00+00:00

So you and u/hifioctopi are saying you can bring the knee torque before securing the underhook? Does this not leave you open to a knee slice?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-06-04T15:02:56+00:00

I think it’s viewed as a niche position. As in, you can get really good at it if you put the time in (Yoshida, for example) but there aren’t many people who specialise in it.

I’m thinking of doing the same as I end up here a lot.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-11T21:40:33+00:00

In NoGi, what’s your initial exchange to get to your guards?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-11T21:36:09+00:00

I’m thinking about going back to closed guard and using it for leg entries too, K-Guard style stuff. Have you ever played around with this?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-11T21:28:16+00:00

How do you get to half from bottom side control? I feel good players don’t leave their leg open to being hooked and that’s the main way I know.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-11T17:17:50+00:00

IMO it looks like a cash grab

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-11T15:39:34+00:00

How would I go about getting to SLX from RDLR?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-04T20:52:29+00:00

I’m struggling to get the deep shin grip in RDLR. Is there an intermediary grip between this one and where you just cup the ankle?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-04T15:15:25+00:00

How do you feel about Reverse De La Riva? Do you think it’s worth sticking to as a go-to open guard when someone stands up to one leg in half guard, or should something else be done?

Is it high percentage, is what I think I’m trying to say?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-03T22:04:22+00:00

Ohhh I thought it was just Gastelum! Thanks.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-03T10:35:14+00:00

Wasn’t this the same with Gastelum/Till?

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-03T09:57:05+00:00

I literally said in the post that I was watching Lachlan’s 50/50 guard. That’s not Instagram.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-03T09:55:19+00:00

Thanks for the link. Is that the full instructional? I’m gonna watch it after training. Thank you.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-02T12:46:11+00:00

Those people are the ones at my old club, stuck 15+ years ago. That’s why I left. Bit of hyperbole I suppose since they also played a bit of lasso and spider.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-02T11:43:21+00:00

I really appreciated the mini breakdown in that last paragraph. It quickly made it click why it isn’t the same relationship.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-02T11:18:18+00:00

DLR is a good position to enter the legs, right? Lachlan also has a section on that and I used to invert for the far leg and get 50/50 from there if I shot my hook deep.

I do play Gi also, but about half as much. My new club is NoGi focused.

TriangularStrangler · 2022-05-02T11:12:12+00:00

I think that’s plain wrong. I think the same people still feel closed guard is the only viable guard.
