Crucifix

[m3thinator]

can you do this in wrestling?

[wtfmandudeguy1]

@m3thinator

yeah, but it isnt too efficient.

[Anese23]

is this what gary goodridge used in that one fight where he elbowed the shit out of the guy?

[Madmac79]

@Anese23 Yep!

[BrokenSporadic]

now do a barrell roll!!!

[Micaaw007]

If this was wrestling and we would have rolled over to pin him, It would be what we call The Move of Doom

[Almeidalcantara]

white belt in brazil can't use chock's wich take servant column.... sorry my english LOL RSRSRSRS

[Ingriff53]

Is this legal in freestyle wrestling? Because I wanna try this as a pin :D

[disasstah]

I might have to try this next time I roll.

[mobius88]

Inventive ending. I remember years ago,Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge used this technique without the neck crank and pummeled his opponent unconscious within a few seconds with seven or eight elbows back in an early U.F.C. ( no. Eight I think ) . I like your version much better however.

[2torenz]

nice modification of the omaplata.,.,.,

[CakeNSpoon]

Move is legal in folk-style wrestling as long as you don't crank the far arm up. You have to keep the final position (legs on close arm, one hand pulling far arm) and keep the other guy's shoulders down on the mat so it's a pin. The more he tries to avoid the pin, the further you FINGER WALK your hand into the submission. I've done it B-]

[KILLALLTEACHERS]

Are we allowed to use this in high school wrestling??

[TheDardyProduction]

God, i tried crucifix once in judo randori against much stronger opponent, and (somehow) he slamed me on my face. Didn't want to leave the crucifix so my noce was pretty bloodied up. Btw, this is one nice tutorial!

[EightPenguins]

so many different ways to pull off this movie. :p

[mcgeeboyz1]

that was absolutley beautiful..

[FMFC0RPSMAN]

Good technique. I tried it as a white belt and caught a purple belt at my gym. I couldn't finish it though. Interesting finish. I usually use a neck crank or a collar choke if possible.

[supuhfanng]

Looks like a spladle done on the arms instead of the legs. Guy in the blue is fit, no homo.

[SteelCity1981]

@ 0:42 seconds or you can just elbow him in the side of the head with the arm that's free.

[javensme1]

ive seen it done where you pull the other arm around the back of your head and use both of your hands to crank their head/neck. idk if thats better or more efficient, but it seems easier the way i see it. but im no expert nor am i claiming to be. would maybe like to hear from someone who knows what they are talking about to tell me if it would be equally/more/less efficient than the technique shown in the vid

[sdpadresfan]

Master Odie Neto- a well respected vertran of this game, is a passionate professor of this great art. It is truly a treat and a privilage to learn from this man. He's as genuine as they come and so true to the sport/art. Thank you for being a catalyst Odie! Looking forward to the future. Best regards.

[RVPG123]

you dont shoot singles like that

[mexwrestler125]

Is this legal in wrestling?

[espnchris]

@mexwrestler125 no

[JizzyProductionz]

@mexwrestler125 i was wondering the same lol

[SteelCity1981]

@mexwrestler125 uh yes...

[pwn3dbyme]

bjj sucks taijustu is way better

[parkercamarillo]

@pwn3dbyme

If you put a guy with 30 years of Taijutsu against some kid with maybe a purple belt in BJJ and I'd put big money on the kid winning.

[KD4240RKS4240]

im training this the banana split and the spread eagle and im only in 8th grade :)

[nickscalonie]

@KD4240RKS4240 too bad this vid isn't about wrestling

[luchador1764]

sigh. like most bjj/gjj, this is just catch wrestling. been around for centuries.

[C00LGUY998]

@SAMFlSHER40l7 im a religious person, put in my personal opinion your an idiot.

[zomgbbqsauce12345]

@C00LGUY998 lol and you have terrible grammar :D

[C00LGUY998]

@zomgbbqsauce12345 whoops sorry missed a letter

[mataleao1994]

@SAMFlSHER40l7 Hey man I'm just as religious as the next guy, and I'm not trying to interfere here and realize you're only expressing your opinion, but this vid wasn't a mockery of Christ. It is only called the Crucifix because of the final position the person ends up in resembling a crucifix. GJJ/BJJ was formed in Brazil, which is a very religious Catholic place, and Catholocism is the only religion that displays Christ on the Cross. Nobody is mocking Christ here.

[ArkAngelHFB]

@mataleao1994 don't feed the troll bro...

[mataleao1994]

@ArkAngelHFB Haha sorry man

[ArkAngelHFB]

@mataleao1994 lol np

so where do you roll at bro?

[mataleao1994]

@ArkAngelHFB I split my time between Gracie Combatives, which is where most all of my training comes from, and I go to my old TKD/JJ instructor to roll live with guys up there so I'm getting live feedback. I know a lot of guys throw shit the Gracie's way for the Combatives but its a really good course.

[ArkAngelHFB]

@mataleao1994 I honestly don't see why people put stuff down at all unless it's completely non effective.

I will be honest though... While have taken classes on bjj I hold a pretty anti-gi view... Gi's are great but they let you slack off in some areas and force you to assume in other areas... what if a guy comes at you without a shirt on... collar chokes just went out the window... I just feel that gi's are fine but the majority of your rolls should be without... as if in a real fight...

[mataleao1994]

@ArkAngelHFB I agree with you completely. Gi's can be ok to train in but you should dedicate time to no-gi as well so that you are prepared for a real fight. Nobody in 2011 is going to be wearing a gi, epsecially a street fighter.

[mgbrawl]

@mataleao1994 yeh but dont forget people wear 'clothes' in street fights, the gi replicates clothes... people who train 'no gi' are usally interested in mma competition.

[renzokata]

@mataleao1994 that depends, are you fighting a shirtless person, or is he wearing some kind of t shirt, or even a jacket. a jacket has lapels and a collar just like a gi, its almost the same thing.

[SAMFlSHER40l7]

@mataleao1994 Yes they are. Didn't you read the info?

[ArkAngelHFB]

he says one more time and you see the guys smile like "oh hell no again, I tapped twice already COME ON!"

[maynard243]

that was tight man.. i just dont think i would be able to do it in a serious wrestle with my friends..

[OneShotStop229]

@maynard243 the only way to find out is to practice. Sometimes you wont see an opportunity for a technique like this, but sometimes you do. You can force it as well. Leave a leg out front like you're just asking for a single leg takedown. I've got a judo technique very similar to this that gets alot of "ooohs and ahhhs" from my friends. Just practice man

[GuamKomudo]

This is a fairly advanced Jujitsu technique... If you don't have training, I wouldn't waste my time attempting this move from a video... You need to train to get good at things like this =)

[bellbrook26]

is this legal in youth wrestling?

[MrSjard]

Yes it is.. hitting is illigal in that position..

[kazra999]

sweeet

[Virility]

I've never seen that one before. That was a sweet neck lock.

[beefybjj]

a few weeks ago i pulled this in an a nogi match but neck cranks weren't allowed and i didnt know what to do. could someone tell me a few submmision options from this positiion besides the crank?

thanks

[GASmotorsports]

RNC

[mariamparo79]

@beefybjj how bout an armbar?

[mariamparo79]

@beefybjj excuse me not an armbar, a rear choke rather.

[alexanderschuler]

you can use it but you have to switch to your stomach fast so you dont pin yourself. you cant make it obvious that the neck is getting torqued either. once the ref is belly down lookin for a pin... then torque the head, you will definetly pin him and the ref likely wont notice

[hellomotto03]

think u culd throw this in a high school match if u didnt to the spin thing?

[curry2spicy4u]

is this move allowed in highschool wrestling? I'm just starting and am trying to learn everything i can.

[EvanK1995]

i am too. i don't think so.

[xXECL1PS3Xx]

There is a different crucifix in wrestling. I wouldn't tell you to hit this move, and some refs can call it as you trying to apply a joint/pressure lock and give you penalties. Also, you could be pinned from this in a wrestling match.

[StreetPulseParkour]

high school wrestling is gay and meant for homos only

[wrestlemaniac505]

in Freestyle wrestling, the crucifix is my favorite move. i hope someone video tapes me doing it in a match and posts it on the web because i dont have a video camera. great move! i give this vid a 5.

[Fernando14552]

there are so many finishes for the crucifix, the gracie way is way easier, not too much body movement

[bananabread119]

Great wrestling move!! Thanks!!!

[fire000365]

haha wow! this is kinda cool because i had created a POS submission wrestling move that was easy to escape from called the crucifix... the offender laid across the defenders back bellied down and scissored the opponents arm, and grabbed a tight lock around the remaining arm... then they streched. i don't know if you can visualise this in your head by reading this but it's incredibly similiar to this move above

[bigtimepimpin666]

I used to see a banner for ntacademy on el cajon blvd where the sports park is up on some stairs. I recently passed by the academy by accident and did not think much of it. Seemed like yet a nother jj academy. But man this guy has a lot of moves you don't normally get taught. It seems like even some of the neutral positions he has something to nail your ass with. I used to like it when almost no one knew about BJJ...

[theLyricsSuck621]

Awesome.

[hellomotobleh]

at 0:39, would the ref call a pin in regular wrestling??

[Atreyulover95]

why would the ref call that? the dudes chest was under his shoulder blade...

[hellomotobleh]

yeah the guy only put his chest under the dudes shoulder blade so he can choke him... i tried this move and i can pin the guy, ur retarded

[Fallensk8er31]

i use this in wrestling. at 00:49 instead of pushing on his head your flip your body onto his face and itll pin him

[techas94]

no at 47 he would and there is a better way to do that when he got ur leg do like u would to the head with the geatine and roll back to ur shoulder but thats for wrestling.

[EraOneSamael]

whoa! this looks cool, i gotta try it sometime

[steveecker]

LOOKS cool?!?! This move IS cool... They were gonna name it cool, but that word was already taken... By the god damn penguins... dammit... I'm go club baby seals and what not...

[oOMarioMafiaOo]

@steveecker lolwut?

[steveecker]

@oOMarioMafiaOo Penguins... seals. .. The arctic ... cold ... cool lol. Idk what I was on when I wrote that haha, sorry.

[Fallensk8er31]

im learnin this it seems very useful

[Flexonyou]

Cool moves to learn, I will work on that, LOVE BJJ!
