Could you do this same pass with a crossface and underhook grip?

Ddp did this to Whitaker

Does anyone have or know of a video of Roger Gracie doing this in an actual competition? Thanks ahead.

Did you die from covid or what? Haven't seen a video from you in ages, they were so great.

I will definitely give this a try. Thank you

What’s this pass actually called?

When you take the underhook and then reach your other arm over the head are you in danger of the arm triangle? I ask becouse i get arm trianled when i try this🤣

If you're going to teach a legend's move, the least you could do is pronounce his name correctly. Like, that's a bare minimum.

work this on no gi ?

im small and 45 and i like to use my weight as much as possible, ive learned to melt into my partner, so im excited to try this against bigger partners. seems like less energy and steps required to gain dominance.

tough day to be the uke

That poor uke.

I have been playing around w/ this for awhile and found you can get the Americana very easily from this position. The pressure is so great that your opponent just gives you anything to get out of it.

The Akatsuki gi is amazing, and the technique of course, thanks

I tried this tonight in class and it worked like a charm.

this is the pass ive been looking for!

Great techinque and excellent instruction! Thanks!
