That was just slick.

[@iana3754]

For a second I thought curly hair guy was ben askren lmao

[@Elijahnineone]

The opponent helped the saddle entry. He literally moved the left leg into the triangle. Everything about this video confuses me other than the great entry 😅 I'll just assume he was takin off guard by a slick move and panicked. I watched it back 3-4 times and he had lots of time to c grip the knee, turn away, and kick out. I'm confused because if the reap is allowed I have to assume these 2 guys are high level. Anyways, came across this when looking at imanari roll breakdowns. This video confirms its legitimacy. Nice work

[@DerLaufendeTod]

Would this be IBJJF legal?

[@daninbox]

Ryan Hall vs. BJ Penn

[@rafaelpaixao2]

is that considered a knee reap under ibjjf rules?

[@anthonyhahn1523]

I believe it is, but there's a few specific rules to the position that I am not 100% aware of

[@hc8771]

Crossing his ankles over and compressing the achilles is a reap??

[@MrMrMcguinness]

From my limited understanding of what happened (and the ibjjf rules!) that looked more like a kani basami than the typical iminari roll takedown ie an inversion into scissor sweep. Typically the iminari roll has the upper leg in the saddle position before the sweep is followed through. Under ibjjf the technique in the video is immediate DQ. However if the upper leg was in the saddle position before the sweep then the takedown would be fine. When you're in saddle however you can't attack the trapped leg under ibjjf, the far one is free game though. A bit convoluted but I think that's what the unofficial line is

[@jwgacademy]

Yes immediate DQ

[@nixonsuddens6577]

ive heard that if you reap the knee (sitting in honey hole) is only illegal if you attack the trapped leg.. im not sure tho

[@whosgotthetime]

Sick

[@iinnnnaa1]

Tony ferguson entered the chat

[@michaelb3581]

I don’t do Jiu jitsu, but why the switch to the other leg?

[@anthonyhahn1523]

At the belt level I was at and the rule set, I was not allowed to attack the first leg, hence switching to the second leg which has more control and going for the ankle lock there

[@michaelb3581]

If you think you are tougher than an ankle lock or heel hook.. you would be in for a rude awakening

[@UltimateEdgeLord.4.2.0.6.9.]

@@mattdoyle1442 if someone does this, all you would have to do is step backwards and stomp them in the head while they sprawl around on the ground like a confused slug :/ this technique can be useful potentially, but this is NOT an effective move for 99% of physical altercations.

[@mattdoyle1442]

Just step backwards and hit them. What a solid strategy. I wonder why anybody who has ever been taken down or had their legs attacked didn’t think of that. If the attacker gets control of the leg, they extend their hips so the defender can’t foot fight. If they miss the leg, they can roll to another open guard or stand up. My guess is you’ve never had a leg locker attached to your leg. Not much you can do once extended.

[@UltimateEdgeLord.4.2.0.6.9.]

@@mattdoyle1442 these bouts rely almost entirely on locking and wrestling exclusively. It doesn't take into account striking, or the vast array of things that can occur in an actual fight without limitations placed. This move has the potential to be useful, but you would be an absolute fool to attempt this roll in a street fight. :/
