Just wanted Vince to know that his techniques do work. In particular i've always meant to try that technique you taught on your MMA tape on the clinch where you basically put one wrist into the other guys elbow bend and then finish by pushing him down with your shoulder and then just finish him with a bicep slicer. I've always thought that some MMA guys should try that one as people are always using the clinch so much now.
I had not had any good chances to work that one b/c rarely do people attain that position in sub grappling in standing and normally you might train boxing or muay thai, but not full on MMA.
Well i got my chance tonight against a purple belt. He is one of the instructors at a new place i just signed up with tonight. He was wearing a Gi, and i was not, he tied up hard around the neck and was trying to pull me in/down. I just make a quick powerful move to lock in the slicer, and drove him to the ground in a VERY painful submission for him.
By the way Vince, i knew this guy had a good guard, and the very next "go around" he was kind of butt scooting towards me (inviting/pulling into guard)....Reflex just kicked in. I've been wondering if you could pull the "upside down rolling figure four toe hold" from that position being more in front of him (versus inside the open guard). Anyway, i just put the right hand on top of his ankle, then flung my left leg under his right, and attempted the roll. couldn't get all the way through with the roll, but finished a STRONG ankle lock, in kind of an upside down position.
