This series is great. This is the stuff I never got to learn growing up as I started when information was guarded and youtube wasn't a wealth of knowledge as it is now.
@pninnan7 ай бұрын
I’ve been training for 10 years and the meta is just different now. When I started training, the only leg locks I worried about were straight ankle and toe holds and knee bars, and body lock passing was not used often. It’s good to see what competitors today are using, I wish I had the time now that I used to have to obsess over it and train 6X a week.

9:53 from here you've also got an arm-bar entry by throwing your (left in the video) leg over your opponent's tight waist arm, Fabricio Andrey style, and ending up with your opponent's hand under your armpit, for the finish.

Talking about he skipping blue belt made me think. What if we had a ELO rating system in grappling like the one used in chess. Rankings would be mobile (as in reality) and the ability to teach should go for the ones proven theory and practice in a objective way.

The main issue with ELO is that physical and mental (knowledge) aren’t correlated.
