It is me. I am the one Bicep Slicing people who are countering my legitimate arm bar through hand holding. :smugbert:

Real talk though, anyone know a better counter to people just holding the grip then a slicer?

I never ever slice because it's ungentlemanly.

Time for me to have fun explaining this in prose (it's a stat today so I have time to waste :backtowork: )

I always control the targeted arm with the foot-side arm when armbarring. I do so by trapping it with a cross-body rnc-ish grip grabbing my own gi or shoulder, which is a habit I developed from judo (so if I throw someone right-handed I have uke's right sleeve in my left hand, which I pass off into my right arm, pinned against my sternum - uke's head will be under my left leg).

If uke gets the arms connected, I'll use my free head-side (left) hand to grab uke's wrist and rotate it toward uke's head while digging my foot-side (right) foot into the crook of the defending arm. That breaks the grip even against very large and very strong people, with no rude slicing.

I land more bicep crushes against armbar defense than I do actual armbars, by a significant margin. You can post with your free hand, then step over and triangle your legs for a really nasty one, it's kind of hard to explain but it's a cool sub.

The bicep slicer to break the clasp is an absolute ace way to finish the armbar. That being said I can see how it may be seen as "ungentlemanly." I kind of want someone to make a DVD of those kinds of finishes. Things like the bicep slicer to break the grip, fist to the neck to finish a triangle, wrist lock from omo plata, etc.

My favorite scumbag method to beat armbar defense is when you're going for the arm from knee on belly, wiggling the point of your elbow down into their ribs.

Liver shot KO's are the worst because you feel every single second of it. The last time I got KO'd with a liver shot my vision went completely white and I came to cursing a blue streak at my instructor in a weak squeaking voice as the rest of the class looked on aghast.

There are some Stick grappling techniques that are unfuckingbelievably painful if you ever have the misfortune to get caught in them. Imagine a guillotine choke but it's a rattan stick across your windpipe/jaw instead of a nice, fleshy arm. That poo poo sucks.

Edit: oh wait here's one. The Dog Bros are certifiable

Oh, and one time I think my hip popped out of it's socket and every vertebrae in my back popped after I threw a leg kick and had my legs kicked out from under me as I was pulling back the kick. I somehow sat on my own knee? My poo poo is still all hosed from that one.

I can't wait to start training again.

No dude. The bicep slicer is not something that just hurts so that you will release your grip, it's a legit submission that will break your arm and/or dislocate your elbow when applied properly. If you're getting caught in it and not tapping to the point where you're getting your arm hurt, that is 100% on you. This isn't like a training partner being a jerk by jamming his elbow into your neck in side control or whatever, you might as well be saying your training partner shouldn't be going for armbars because if you get caught in them and don't tap your arm will get hurt. It makes no sense.

If you don't encounter these subs in training and learn to respect them, you'll turn into one of those people who gets horrifically mangled in competition because they thought something was a "pain submission" and they didn't need to tap. I see this poo poo all the time with ankle locks.

You sound like when two kids are playing Tekken and one kid starts yelling that it isn't fair because you can't use throws or counters or something because he thinks they're cheap, or when you're playing Starcraft and the other guy says "no rush 15 min, bro". Like you're being defeated by something and it annoys you so you start imposing an imagined set of rules on the encounter and then getting mad when other people don't follow the fiction you created.

You know that bicep slicers will make you elbow explode laterally, right? Your forearm will be hanging like a piece of spaghetti until they reconstruct your elbow with rods and plates.

Speaking of arguing the most loving retarded poo poo, thats not what passive aggressive actually means. If youre being passive aggressive you make yourself the target of your own negative behaviors, if you make it clear you have a problem with what someone is saying/doing its not passive aggression, no matter how oblique youre being about it. A classic example of passive aggression would actually be refusing to tap out to a pain-based submission and letting yourself get hurt because you have a problem with people using those submissions

If you're talking about Bicep Slicers there's a really cool and easy one you can do from Spider Guard if you lasso your leg around one of their arms and bait them into attempting a pass.

I personally have found this one to actually be pretty hard. I don't use it, it's just that when people try it on me they don't get enough torque to finish the slicer and I end up freeing my arm and getting the pass. I assume they must be getting some details wrong.

Just a reminder that IBJJF doesn't allow bicep slicers below brown. However, if you let go of the sleeve in the transition (giving your opponent the opportunity to pull his arm out) and he leaves his arm then game on.

Two solid hours of heel hooks followed by an hour and half of passes. Went into a lot of detail on every position he taught so it really didn't matter that I didn't have much heel hook experience beforehand.

This is kinda why I call them "ungentlemanly" in casual rolling. The slicer doen't strike me as a particularly interesting sub. They are mostly a counter to basic armbar defense techniques, and nobody who needs to defend them in competition will be needing to practice basic armbar defense. And on top of that, getting used to being put into a bicep slicer is not useful for self defense.

Likewise, they're not useful as an attack for self defense applications or for competition practice, either. For a novice to go for a bicep slicer means that the novice's time is not going towards practicing the armbar. If that grappler can't finish an armbar and just goes for the slicer, he or she is avoiding practicing on the more fundamental technique with more applications, and that's practice that the novice needs. When it comes down to it, the technique is just causing pain for the sake of "winning" in practice.

Nobody is learning anything - not the person slicing, nor the person being sliced. It's like when the 200 lb muscleman squeezes the 140 lb skinnyman's jaw in practice with a RNC until the skinnyman taps as to avoid getting a broken jaw. Really, for learning it's more important that the muscleman work to get that arm under the jaw, if for no other reason that in competition someone his size might not tap to that kind of crank so easily. Sure, you can win a gold medal in competition by squeezing someone's face that way, but nuscleman will only get better if he learns to finish the sub with technique.

I suppose if someone finds bicep slicers interesting they can probably just be used in a catch-and-release kind of way. Someone's defending an armbar? Take the slicer position, and then release it to try to finish the armbar. Lord knows that I find certain subs to be really interesting, and some of them are illegal as gently caress for every level of competition I can be thinking about right now (I have a boner for heel hooks and calf cranks, especially). I just observe when I'm in a position where I could grab one, and then I continue on with legal positions in my roll.

I feel like cranking a slicer would be a dick move, but applying one slowly (especially if someone decent is defending the arm-bar like their life depends on it) is a-ok in my book. I mean sometimes you just wanna do less work. :effort: I do mainly no-gi though, so maybe its a bigger deal in gi?

The idea that slicers aren't technical or done by advanced grapplers is such a load of horseshit.

It's even a faulty line of thinking with things like facelocks, really -- sure, they are something that can be "forced" in certain circumstances, but they are also possible to do with technique. Having a strength advantage allows you to be less technical with any kind of sub, that's just the nature of the sport.

Sorry if I gave that impression of my position. I thought that I made it clearer that I'm talking about the lower level guy who cranks one in lieu of finding a way to separate the hands in an arm bar, which is where the slicer discussion began.

The video you posted of the Russian guy was cool and impressive.
