10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu - Erik's highlights 2008

[lee36bob]

how long did it take you to get the flexibility and control to use crackhead control?

[angelmanfredy]

@lee36bob

Hi Lee36bob. I have been doing martial arts for years so I was luckily flexible to begin with. I can tell you that my training partner (who was not flexible to begin with) stretched (usually the butterfly stretch) for about a year before he had the full flexibility for crackhead, double bagger, pulling off gogoplatas, etc. You just have to stick with it! :)

I love the song choice lol, its not some badass rap pr metal music the usual way. Its funky and not really serious , just how the rubberguard should be viewed in my opinion, good going and thanks!

[OnixRose]

the video should be called "I use awesome wrestling and dominate some poor sap"

[angelmanfredy]

@OnixRose

One of those "saps" was a black belt (in full gi), if you watch the whole vid. Nice title, though. :P

[lorentzus]

@angelmanfredy black belt in what?

[angelmanfredy]

@lorentzus

Judo and Aikido. 

[lorentzus]

@angelmanfredy OK, that explains it. Thought his guard passing, posture, footwork and arm placement looked "a little off" compared to a BJJ blackbelt:)

keep up the work:)

[baelthedemon]

@angelmanfredy so nothing to do with bjj..

@mofoshrimp

Ah, and looking at other bits of the video (its over a year old) Kon was leaning into my chill dog blocking me so I went for crackhead control and used my left arm to try and get the gag reflex sub (fist in the side of his neck) but it wasn't happening.

Have a good week.

@mofoshrimp

Hi Mofo. At the beginning I was just trying to keep his posture down using retard control (gable grip - poorly executed actually - behind my left ankle which means I could not go for New York. I was not really going for subs at the start so much as trying to control him.

I definitely know the value of keeping that hand to the mat! Nowadays, yes, I would go for crack head control or double bagger if he leaves that hand down there. :)

good vid man! i see u've trained at Legends Gym, hopefully ill be able to train there one day with Eddie and the rest of the 10th planet crew!

[angelmanfredy]

Thanks, JGandy12. Legends is being renovated but it will be back (maybe it is back now, I dunno). I have been to Burbank, Hollywood, and SF and recommend them all! Plus, the system is a blast :)

[mmagamer4life]

[jboor80]

Sweet moves and sweet music!  What's the song and artist, if you don't mind..

[angelmanfredy]

Thanks jboor. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Unfortunately I don't know the name of the song, but I can tell you it is one of the free songs you can add to your videos through youtube. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

Take Care,

Erik
