  • Question.. Does this work on someone who has super open hips and can sit in a center split..

    almost looks like a 2 person hip stretch.

    I dont see any bending of the hips in ways they shouldnt go, other than forcing them past where most people arnt used to opening them to.

    Forcing a pulled groin muscle?

  • This move doesn't work on guys with super loose groin or super strong hips. It's a beginner move, but it's fun to catch it every so often. Besides, if it fails, you're half a step away from a sweet guard pass.

  • a bit dangerous imo. if the guy on the bottom is any kind of a bjj'er, he's going to take advantage of you putting yourself into position to be in a triangle choke. i don't see this one being worth the risk the guy on top takes.

  • Your base leg is on his bottom leg. It would be a pretty impressive move to convert this to a triangle.

  • *all of that is aside from the fact that from one guy to another, i'd never do this to another man's gibblets. like a swift kick to the nads, it's just not kosher ^_^ pass the guard and hit his arm or neck or somethin XD

  • Not sure I understand the mechanics of this move. If you cranked it as far as it could go (like in a self-defense scenario), what would happen? Would it damage the guy's hip joints or groin muscles? Or is it just painful?

  • only trick to that though is that if your leg is on top of his leg, then you're putting yourself at risk for having your base leg kicked out and flipped over. i'm not doubting it'd be a painful sub; just saying that if i were passing somebody's guard, there's a number of other moves that get you into a better position and offer less risky offensive subs.

    again, it's good enough. but a guy who's waiting for the triangle and who's good on the bottom could take advantage of this, imho.
