Japanese guard from 1904

Next time I pull guard, I'm going to try this on my training partner.. lol

 

Nice guard work! and people think the flashy stuff is a modern invention.

 

That took a lot of work and skill. I wonder how many children died in the making of this.

 

ahah nice moves, that's some cirque de soleil shit

 

Awesome. Interesting that he uses a ball under his hips. Must make it easier to lift. Or maybe just shock absorption? Hmmm...

 

Hickson could do that with one leg tied behind his back.

 

Top guy is immune to tomoe nage.

 

Meh, let me see them do this in comp against high level competition and then I'll be impressed.

 

Amazing stuff.

 

Wow

 

fake.....

 

So this is the Japanese ball-guard that I've heard so much about.

 

at first I was like (o_o) and then I was like (O_O)

 

Haha, gave me a good laugh, thanks for posting.

 

Dangit. I was hoping this was serious. I was all at the ready for full on sarcasm: "You mean the Gracies exaggerated their role in Jiu Jitsu? Noooooo!"
