Eddie Bravo: The Twister Roll (Korean Zombie Uses in the UFC)

[canadianscot06]

@Kasabian1. You're right he is the bomb. And tell your instructor he's a hypocrite. He thinks a pothead is the bomb. I don't smoke weed, but believe an open mind to those who want to is just fine. Master Bravo is proof.

[murdockqotsa]

What happens if there is no tap?

[brownale66pack]

@murdockqotsa broken spine/back/neck/ , paralysis, or death

[gizjtr1]

but neck cranks are illegal in my school any other ways to finish it ?

[Kabasan21]

Eddie is the bomb. My fight coach is the hand to hand instructor for the police dept and a swat leader. He swears by Eddie and the rubber guard (except for the whole pot thing).  I've had a couple knee injuries, so flexibility can be an issue. Anyone have any good resources for engaging the rubber guard while cautioning the knees?

[superawesomejeff]

@Kabasan21 Stretch every day until it's comfortable, then keep stretching. Stretch 3 times a day. You will eventually get there. It's all about work ethic.

[sensfan10000]

This move looks ridiculously hard to pull off i wont be attempting this one

anytime soon

[marcoski711]

@sensfan10000 Just got taught this tech last night, but from attacking a turtled opponent. Much simpler entry, makes the tech seem really simple (I'm sure it wont be in sparring haha!). Haven't found a comparable vid yet but I'm sure it would worth a second look dude.

[brutecarnage]

Such a sick ass move.

[BayAreaAces]

The Korean Zombie!!!!!

[philosopher2king]

Man, I'd love that DVD set but $120 for The Twister is just too much money.

[Rofny]

the DVD shows you the twisters Eddie Bravo did in competition, but it doesn't really explains the movements nor the techniques. Am I right ?

[reypac]

That looks like Genki Sudo in the background...Is it?

[Submissions101]

no..it is not.

[emtnsocali]

yeah i wrote eddie an email the other day asking him that....he says that mastering the twister is supposed to be comming out end of '08....cant wait. go buy the mastering the rubber guard dvd

[statechamp86]

Had to say this also guys need to understand very hard for bigger guys to get into this move but the way he teaches this and they way he gets into it anyone can big or small way good. Nice work agian

[statechamp86]

Guys this also good rib crank, many times you can reach across and get the other arm and go cross face or head and arm. Go with cross face and use you back to block his arm behind your head you have a right punch and they cant stop you.

[statechamp86]

Nice way to get into Wrestling Gilateen.

[Vazquez71]

yeah.. in most competitions..neck cranks are illegal.. but nevertheless its an awesome move.

[noestabien]

I am pretty sure i heard a cracks in there... that has to loosen you up :)

[klam22]

joe rogan will go crazy if anyone pulls this off in the UFC while he's commentating. gogos are starting to become common. i seen a couple omoplatas. the only time i saw a twiser is when jason chambers finished with it in his final fight on human weapon.

[SubZeroBJJ]

I remember that episode on human weapon, but I've yet to see anyone get someone with a gogo in mma other than gomi diaz fight. Never seen an Omplata finish in mma yet, seems like they mostly turn into sweeps.

[Submissions101]

Brad Imes had back to back gogoplata wins in MMA.

[tylerk03]

yea and shinya aoki used it a gogo in pride...also mayhem tried a twister in WEC if i remember

[Saelee2004]

@klam22 Korean Zombie pulled it off on UFC fight night!!!!!!!! YEA!

[dirtyminded604]

@klam22 Well it happened last weekend. And yes, Joe did go crazy! i couldn't believe my eyes, i have never seen it personally in an MMA fight let alone in the UFC. Korean Zombie simply amazing.

[samcarr6]

@klam22 hahaha. he did go nuts

[Ariel1Dominguez]

@klam22 well, korean zombie did the twister on ufc while Rogan was commentating. XD.

I know your comment was 3 years ago.

[randomman36]

@klam22 how bout a bannana split



[TonyDingus]

@klam22 This comment here predicted the future hahaha, Good stuff!

[bigrock123]

@klam22 isn't it funny how you made that comment and now earlier this year the Korean Zombie pulled it off! HaHa that's awesome.

[rubberguard12]

yes

[JiuNami]

Cool! To bad my bjj teacher probably won't ever let me use it. :(

[XMDinx]

WOAH! thats intence... i wanna learn that...

[athsquare]

Taking twister from side control is different I like to apply it from back control but the roll is basically the same thing I might try it this way tonight.

[CJSmile7]

um from the back? how do you do that? i thot it was used to get to the back...

CJS.

[Submissions101]

It is called the Chevy. You basically have your hooks in for the RNC and transition to the twister from there. Eddie shows it in one of our videos.

[ActaFoolzz]

complicated move

[Submissions101]

Not really once you put in the reps.

[ShinsengumiTaicho1]

Thanks! I've been looking for this transition everywhere and seeing Eddie himself do it has brought me that much closer to the twister. Arigatou!

[flaconyc1]

Dam, Bravo got skills

[mk9000]

Awesome.

[baywest]

yay first to comment. Wow hopefully I'll actually get the twister now cuz I've been trying to get it right for a while now but I never knew how to do it.

[onehandraisinbransam]

its such a horrible feeling submission. stretches your whole body out!

[batjutsu]

Great, cheers :-)

[tgwctg]

finally, eddie introduces the twister roll on youtube! thanks submission 101!

btw: the way he does the s-grip on the head is slightly different

[rain2298]

Excellent video. I like the way all your videos work from multiple angles. It makes learning much easier.

[matrix1951]

Thanks...is Eddie going to make a dvd series for the twister?
