Funk Roll Defense to Double Leg

[grubburg2]

This WORKS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2U3YmP6VRs reaaaaaally well. i've been using this a lot. you can't sprawl when someone's that deep, but this is an extremely easy way to still get out.

anyone know of any other videos/technique breakdowns for this? i wanna perfect it.

anyone have any gifs of joseph benavidz doing this to might mouse? jb hit a PEEEERRRFFEECCTTT one in that title fight. it was a beauty. i can't believe no one gif'd it on teh regular mma gif sites.

have u guys had any success with this? what variations do you put on it?

I use the funk roll quite often. I did a seminar with Lloyd Irvin BB Danny Ives and he showed us an awesome series with it.

Whenever someone passes my guard holding both of my legs, i shoot in for the funk roll. I maintain control of the leg I grab and come to all fours. I then yank the leg putting myself into a crucifix-like position. if they actually wrap my arm with their legs, i pull the opposite leg down toward the mat to put them completely on their side, then turn in hard to secure a single leg, then i begin my pass.

I know it's hard to understand, but it is an amazing series. I used this at an open mat at a gym I had never been to and no one could stop it

snaps. is this what you're talking about? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On30Sv20wDY

very cool from the side control escape, but it seems like it'd have to occur right as they get into the side control position.]

edit: also cool as he mentioned the benavidez fight!

 

[Allan san]

yeah, that's the one i'm talking about. too bad he doesn't show the entire series. it is slick

Benavidez used the funk roll again last night against McCall. McCall got a TD and right as he passed to side control Benavidez hit it. Was great. I've been using it with much success as a side control escape/reversal lately.

 

[grubburg2]

yeah i saw that too! he sat on his butt for a second before he hit it. it's a great move for mma and im' surprised more guys dont' do it.

All of Kolat's videos are gold. He has a sick online library that I have had access to for a few months and I learned a lot. Great technician. had hundreds of videos. Not as good as tech wave from Flowrestling IMO though.
