Hey guys I asked this question over in the Martial Arts thread but am hoping maybe Ill find an answer here: Is there a name for the submission whereby I grab my opponent's foot and drive my elbow into their shin? (Its a sure tap from the pain) Typically done if someone takes my back but they done have their hooks in quite properly. I was shown this move from one of the FPJJ black belts who came up to visit from Sao Paulo. I know its kind of a dick move, but so are wrist locks. I managed to use it this morning and was playing around with the timing for catching it but I have no idea the name for it.

New to the thread (thanks JaySB for pointing me here). Thought I would introduce myself. Blue Belt training out SDBJJ in San Marcos, CA.

From my limited Korean, they dont allow leg stuff at all at this gym (including kneebars which my last gym back in the US were cool with even for white belts). I don't even see it at the higher up guys.

From the US perspective I think that most of everything is now allowed (at least to be learned) starting at the blue belt level.

I've never seen anyone use this and I'm a blackbelt that has been doing BJJ for 12 years at one of the biggest gyms in the U.S. I have a hard time imagining tapping from this.

When that blackbelt performed it on me, I literally could only take a couple seconds of the pain. Its really, really bad. Ill keep trying to find a video of it, its got to exist somewhere.

edit: Found it!

Sometimes you just get caught. I've gotten brown and black belts with some leg attacks and I've snuck a d'arce from bottom side on a couple guys as well.

I caught one of our black belts in a straight ankle lock a few weeks back and he looked totally surprised. He was cool about it though. We had a little talk about switching from the body to the legs after that.

I dont think you should have to worry if you catch an upper belt in something as long as there are no egos.

That move has been talked about already but I had to post cus I trained with Paulo and Adam down there at SDBJJ for a long time 7 or 8 years ago, back when Adam was a blue belt. It's always funny when Paulo brings those Sao Paulo black belts to show stuff cus while they're legit black belts they sometimes show "tough guy" moves that would only really work on untrained beginners. Almost like it's self-defense stuff, nothing that you could use in competition. That sounds like one of those tough guy moves... Kinda fun to know but ultimately useless since an untrained beginner shouldn't be taking your back in the first place.

I was just curious if there was a name for this move ever since Stefano showed it to me :D I dont think I would use it in competition either.

Unless I'm getting trolled super hard, all signs point to "BELT PROMOTION DAY."

We do Promotion letters so you know the exact day you are getting your new belt. I know when I got that letter in hand it was a good feeling.

The takedown potentials with the Russian Tie feel pretty awesome. I feel like I have a lot of control. I hit one this morning during nogi class that was almost like an uchi mata and then turned into a tai otoshi like situation. Usually dont play around with Russian Tie but Im learning to like it.

I love the BB bat choke. I was wondering why my bb bat chokes sometimes wouldn't be that effective until one little detail I learned changed it. The arm grabbing the back lapel should be kept straight out; not bent at all.

Its funny how one little change can radically affect a move.

Was it somebody in here who told me that it's possible to just grit your teeth and ignore the "grind elbows into thighs" guard pass? Like there's no actual damage beyond bruising? I love the idea of just blank face staring at people who do it to you and waiting for them to give up.

I'm gonna feel dumb if I try it and I start bleeding internally or something.

Youre instructor will probably tell you there are other more effective ways of passing anyway. Im one of those people that doesnt give a poo poo if you grind your elbows in. I notice white belts are the only ones that do this and they leave themselves vulnerable to a sweep when they pull this.

Kind of specific question but has anyone seen a good video that shows the transition from the cradle to back control? I've just been playing around this concept for a while and I like it ever since I watched an ADCC comp video of Agarzam and Cobrinha going at it and Cobrinha used this quite a few times. I just have problems trying to get control and get my hooks in. I just think I am missing some details...

It’s not something that’s causing me serious grief, it’s just something that I want to discourage among some of my training partners. Like this one guy got really into can openers for awhile and I hit the same armbar on him five or six times and he never bothered with it after that. I can always wing their elbows outwards to break their posture down, but I never got good at turning that into a submission or anything. I was thinking that the funniest option might be to rest my hands under my head and look bored until they gave up.

I notice when people grind elbows they tend to only do it with one elbow and for a moment their posture is broken and their base is off. That is the perfect time to attack a sweep.

I have've met a brown or a black belt yet that hasnt popped their intercostal cartilage on their rib (which hurts way more than just bruising it).

Its like some sort of rite of passage for it to happen at some point in your jiu jitsu journey.

11 years and knock on wood that's been my only real injury. In some ways it was helpful because I only separated it due to some bad habits. The pain helped me improve my body control.

I found out about this one because I follow Richie Martinez on Instagram.

Honestly, this was one of the best seminars I have ever been to. Through each one of the instructors you kind of got a feel for how they approach their game. Each taught for about 2 hours and the lineup included the Martinez brothers, Eduardo Telles, Keenan Cornelius, Yuri Simoes, Jean Jacques Machado, Vinny Magahales and BenEddy/Jeremiah Vance and Kevin Berberich.

Its been hot as gently caress in San Diego and Jean Jacques taught for 3 hours and dropped knowledge every 20 minutes in 110 degree heat. Its also the session where I feel I got the most out of how I play, plus just general concepts that were reinforced. He basically showed a way to guarantee that you get an Americana from mount if your opponent is defending.

Amazing seminar. Ill definitely go next year too.
