ari, that's not the quarter guard.

[Submissions101]

@borayongacoglu that is what we refer to it in the 10th Planet system and what Eddie calls it. I have no doubt that others have different definitions for moves.

@Submissions101 don't discard my comment either please, i only speak the truth.

[Submissions101]

@forbesfoofighters The 'truth' by your inference, means that what you speak is true and what we (or others speak or believe) is false. I can tell you that I have seen this done many times, done it many times and been caught in it too. It depends on how you train and what you train in. I love how people criticize without every doing the move. I see this lots. Sure, not all move work all the time on all people but this ain't fantasy to be sure. Go visit Eddie at his school and see what's possible

I agree...it is just a submission. i have NEVER heard a 10th Planet guy say the twister is the best.-EVER. The twister is just one of many submission out there in the world of grappling. Too many mis informed people out there about 10th Planet

Where are the haters now?

@forbesfoofighters i strongly suggest you watch UFN 24 Sung - Garcia and never talk crap again

10th planet and submission 101 for life! my students love this system and love eddie bravo

what does this submission do to you

[Zevvion]

Great move. Definitely requires some practice for me personally though, as I´m quite lightweight; I tend to lose my balance when I posture while doing this move. Better for me if I work to this slowly.

I think going to mount or sidecontrol from this position is usually more straightforward, but it's nice to mix it up with something that isn't expected (like this move) from time to time.

Love pulling one off though. There is something about rolling into a position that feels slick.

From the truck position, can you transition to some like stoner control or the electric chair and start working some of those half guard sweeps?

[Sleezyfosheezie]

The twister looks exactly like what we called a guillotine in wrestling. You go about getting in that position differently than we did but let me tell you, that is one painful move! I'm sure its a great submission, didn't work well for pinning an opponent but got lots of back points.

@M00B0X a nice combo is to go for the calf crank first, and then if they defend it with their hands, you can grab their arm and go to the twister.

[moschetty]

just learned a similar move except we take the back from the "samurai" roll

[SwaxMedia]
