I did a grappling competition where it was No Neck Cranks allowed , to the point where a guy got disqualified for holding the back of the other guy's head to lock in a triangle. My opponent instinctively went for a guilltine at one point and I tapped out really quickly on purpose so he would lose by DQ. The moral is, it's good to win

nemoulette posted:Something being high percentage can reasonably only be measured in relation to the number of attempts of the same move. Something can subjectively be more or less complicated, but as cortx pointed out, that is wholly dependent on the executioner. Sometimes people don't attempt certain moves often, because they're less likely to work

I'll try to make it easier to understand for the pedantic aspergers crew: When your coach says "Hey Cortxbomb. Stop dicking around with that gay flying omoplata poo poo and learn how to do a proper RNC for god's sake. It's a much higher percentage move" he is right. The amount of times you'll find yourself in a position to perform a RNC is far greater than the amount of opportunities youll have to try a flying omoplata, no matter how perfect your technique is. This is why you see tons of RNC finishes in competition and not very many flying omoplatas. No matter how much the game 'evolves', itll never turn into duelling flying omoplatas. Perfecting your RNC is a better way to spend your time than attempting to perfect some stupid submission that you'll rarely if ever be in a position to actually pull off Your "anything done with perfect skill is 100% effective" shtick is what every lovely TMA guy says to defend their art. Why don't you go train strip mall aikido since the cool moves they do are all equally high percentage as an armbar, as long as you can do it with perfection? Go ask any blackbelt if a RNC is a higher percentage move than a flying headscissors, and theyll say yes and probably laugh at you for asking such a moronic question because they're using common sense and not being pedantic nerds about the definition of probability

Ridleys Revenge posted:From reading these definitions it seems like a lot of people associate "high percentage" with "easy." This makes sense too (speaking as a technical relativist), because if a technique is easy to learn/conceptualize/incorporate into one's gameplan, it'll be used often by a wide variety of people, and we'll see more submissions from it than other more esoteric subs because people don't know the weirder techniques as well and don't use them as often. Agreed, this is why its dishonorable for people to learn so-called "easy" or "effective" moves such as a double leg and RNC when they could be studying chi manipulation and be pressure pointing people to death within 50 years of practice

dokomoy posted:I don't necessarily agree with this.I think berimbolo and Reverse De La Riva to the back are high percentage. Neither of those techniques are "basic" and frankly they aren't super easy, but they work consistently at the highest levels for guys of all sizes. Exactly, and the reverse is true that "easy" things like a straight up rape choke aren't high percentage despite being extremely easy to "perfect", because they just aren't effective against a resisting opponent You could replace the term "high percentage" with "commonly completed" like Big Mobn suggests above, except every normal person already intuitively knows what is meant by high percentage and it wouldnt clarify anything for anyone other than nerds who like bicker about dumb crap

nemoulette posted:I don't want to continue this dumb argument, but this is really the krux of the issue. I'm not of the opinion (and who says that you're correct anyway?) that this is precisely what "high percentage" refers to. The whole reason why I'm annoyed at the people calling cortx (and me by extension) sperglords is because "high percentage" is an incredibly dumb term to begin with. I'm not arguing that a banana split is an easier and more simple submission to pull off than armbars and I would never tell you that you shouldn't make armbars/triangles/RNCs your priority. It's just that "high percentage" is as a dumb concept as "p4p" is for rankings. It isn't a dumb concept at all, everyone normal intuitively knows what it means and its a useful word to describe certain things and situations, only sperglords get angry about the semantics of it

Ridleys Revenge posted:I find the biggest ego issue I see in my students is this idea that they can (and should) win or lose in practice. Try wacky moves! Have fun! Get subbed and sub in kind because when you experiment everyone's perspective broadens, everyone's grappling improves, and everyone wins. When you focus on 'high percentage' techniques, everyone gets more comfortable with 'the basics,' everyone's grappling improves, and everyone wins. How can you be so short-sighted as to think you're getting better if you're never getting tapped or moving outside your comfort zone? I'm not sure which side of the argument youre siding with here but either way I agree, or disagree possibly.

Get good at moving to broken side control/north south so you can have a cool stifling Jeff monson esque top game. If you arent in the Gi its tricky to hold people in side control for long periods of time if they are any good, or stronger than you or slippery or all of the above. Use it as a transition
