'My' Technique at ADCC...
Talk about synchronicity!
A month ago I told you about a specific guard position I've been having a ton of success with - the logsplitter position.
And then, a few weeks later, I taught entries and finishes to this same position at GrappleCamp 2009.
Finally, to top things off, a reader recently emailed me a link to footage of Nicholas Renier hitting a perfect logsplitter submission at the European 2009 ADCC qualifiers...
It's at about 1:52 of the following video:
(I don't know much about Nicholas other than the fact he has now secured a berth ADCC, the big Kahuna of submission grappling championships.)
Anyway, I thought it was cool and so I'm passing it along
P.S. If you haven't done so already, send me your top question quick about preparing for, or competing, in grappling tournaments. I'll try to work your questions into my interview with David Meyer, author of 'Training for Competition: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling
