[campagnolo10x15]

OMG. I watched the vid of your rolling with Rafael and it was at 1:10, wasn't it. I believe that you studied the move in the vid yourself and it is highly respectable of you to come up with this in the end. Thanks for sharing your passionately studied result!! Best blessing for BJJ guys in Hawaii from Japan.

Some guys tried to show this to me after a Franjiha/Tyrone Glover seminar, but you actually explained it much better than they did in the proper context. Very nice!

[islandjits]

best if the opponent is grabbing your one leg with both of his...more mobility on the switch to back ..osss

[ujerk91]
