  • It almost looks like you could get this to work standing or on the ground without your guard enguaged if you had someone pressed up against the cage and the right opening presented itself.

    Any thoughts on this?

  • That's a spectacular idea. I see it as a heavy control option from the wrestler's Two On One. Not a finisher from there but a method to slow the game and set up takedowns. If you play with it let us know how it goes. If you can put up a vid that's even better!

  • Yes, do tap quickly...too much pressure and repeated pressure can cause the dreaded Thoracic Outlet Syndrome!

  • Ha, I'm lovin the sound of that!

  • sorry. anatomy nazi here. i may be wrong but i don't think you can consider that a brachial plexus cutter. what you are doing is compressing the median and ulnar nerves, that run in the me medial bicipital groove. the brachial plexus is higher up. anyway, keep on calling it brachial plexus cutter. (sounds really cool!)

  • This would never work in mma. Nice little move to pull on the white-belts though in the gym :-)

  • holy shit this channel is awesome why didnt i discover it sooner

  • @shewvrain

    100% correct. The brachial plexus is basically above/behing the clavical.

  • "it's one of the few ones that i've felt, and i was like "i would tap to that""

  • this. is. a. great. option....

  • Nice video.

    Imanari demonstrates a similar hold in his super grappling dvd from butterfly guard and with an arm drag, but folks at my club have pretty well caught onto it now. I'll have to try your way :)

    Thanks for sharing.

  • I have an actual brachial plexus injury..... this is total bullshit and definitely doesnt work.. nothing to do with the brachial plexus

  • this would never work! You can post and yank it out! You would have to be retarded to let someone so deep on your arm. And it hurts but in a real fight once you let go he is fighting you again like nothing happen!

  • @AdrianAwesome69 i love how he gets surprisingly serious when he says that.

  • Lmao "I would tap to that"
