* FEDOR VIDEO: Full mount reversal

It is interesting that he showed that technique. Jason Mcdonald should have done that last night to Maia
 
Thank you for your opinion. I am trying to find principles and grapple along those principles. According to my experience, fights I saw and opinion from more experienced fighters i kind of decided to follow the principle to not wrap my arm around sby's neck while mounting except if I can use my shoulder to press on his face and control his arm with my free arm (even then i dont trust it too much)

that being said I am very interested by your answer. Also i saw some BJJ instructional showing that wrap. Could you tell me which round and when in the fight you saw that? I will check it out.

thank you forehand

2nd round with about 1:15 left. McDonald did upa at that point however and got back to half guard.

EDIT: Just watched the fight again. He actually does it a lot during the 2nd round.

Exactly, and I doubt that someone on this forum can call Damien Maia a noob in grappling :icon_chee
 
It's failry easy to counter that escape. You just have to balance yourself with the leg on the side you're being rolled to.

lol does that make sense to anyone? My english is getting rusty

well you usually trap that leg with your leg you don't use to bridge up
 
Yup, seriously, I'm AMAZED it took this long for anyone to catch on that he's not showing the technique properly. Seriously, the whole point is that you trap half the body before you bridge and look over your shoulder. If you only trap the arm, then he just posts with his leg. As for the effectiveness of this technique... I regularly go back and forth between this escape and the usual hip escape and also the turn to your side and snag a leg back to half guard escape. When I chain them, I OFTEN will escape from brown belts that have mounted me with this, so iono about saying it doesn't really work at a high level. I think it's a lot HARDER to escape with in general, but if you set it up correctly, it's still powerful imo.
 
BACK TO BASICS but i like it when fedor teaches i feel empowered :icon_twis

Fedor's strength is that he breaks down every move step by step and makes it so easy to understand. It's like you get this "aha!" feeling almost every minute you watch the DVD...
 
Properly, by whose judgement? Wanna go tell Fedor that he doesn't know his shit? :icon_twis

Correct, he does not show this technique properly. Just because he's the best MMA fighter ever, and he's a physical beast, doesn't mean that he has the best technique for certain moves. In this case, he leaves out a major key to making this move work, so unless you're Fedor, you might not be able to get it to go the way he does. :icon_conf

What does he miss in particular? I attended the seminar and tried this move myself. With proper hip motion and locking the arm exactly as Fedor shows you, you're almost guaranteed to reverse your opponent. My partner was a guy who weighted over 10 kilos more than me and I was still able to execute the move, even though he passively resisted it.

This video seems interesting. I would be more inclined to buy it though if it was sold through a established internet store like Budovideos then just some random paypal address in Slovakia.

Ask around the forum: a lot of people who have ordered thru us have already received their copies, so really there are no reasons why you wouldn't want to believe us. What's more Paypal has a system which allows you to file a complaint should you not receive your DVD and get a full refund.
