The epsecutioner/executioner

Wow. It looks like a good option because I could finish without letting go of head and arm control, but does the tap come from pressure on his spine from having his head pulled back, or is it actually a tight choke?

good question, i would like to no as well. it looks like both, but mostly a crank. i want to do sub, but there's no cranks in tournaments below brown belts or below advance divisions.

Interesting. I will have to play with this one. The North-South choke is one of my favorites, but on some people it can be very hard to finsih. This looks like it could be a good option. I too want to know if it is a true choke or if it would be considered a neck crank. Guess I will have to ask my training partners tomorrow.

Thanks for posting the video.

The executioner is a combination choke and spinal cranck at the same time. Brandon is an excellent teacher he breaks things down really well and is always available for help.

As far as the no gi wet suit, brandon is wearing that on because he has messed up that leg. He trains 5 days a week with us and twice on mondays and thursday. so his body has taken a beaten.
Check out he new youtube of the peruvian necktie it is nice.

as far as brandon hand his compression pants is he has injuries to both knees at the time of the video, and some at burns. He does from time to time train like that, but mostly in gi pants or shorts.

As far as us Eddie converts, last time i checked the rules for no-gi tournaments it just says no gi tops. You can wear gipants, shorts, ankle sleeves, compressions tights or whatever else you choose to wear. Not all 10th planet students were the compression pants, it is to each his own and what they are comfortable with.

I just find that with the ankle sleeves and calf sleeves i can get better grip for myself, and hey if whom ever i am rolling with wants to grab it and take advantage great, just don't get to close cause i do like to tap people.

Well I am glad it worked for you and you baffled your coach. next time try and use the peruvian necktie

Eddie is pretty open about the fact that there is a world of difference between "just shorts" and grappling with gi pants etc. The concept still applies though that the gi offers grips that aren't present in MMA/No Gi grappling. People always say that you should start learning grappling/ground fighting with the gi because it slows down the game forces you to be more technical. That's true in a number of ways, but the biggest reason that the gi forces you to be more technical is because it removes the sweat factor, not just because it offers more grips. Wearing the compression suit basically allows to do the same thing (remove the sweat factor), while still forcing you to use only the grips available in a no gi situation, and concentrating on the intricacies of the 10th Planet system. Otherwise, newer practitioners tend to rely more on being strong, greasy, and frantic than learning the techniques.

Is it exactly the same as grappling in an actual MMA fight? No. Is closer than training in the gi? Yes. Not only that, but in most no gi comps, you can still wear gi pants, etc. Even in MMA, you can at least wear knee and ankle braces/sleeves.

Know exactly what you are talking about. One thing that Brandon really drills with us is the breaking down of an opponent. With over hook, under, rnc, vice grip, over-under. He also make sure that we always keep our guard tight and always squeezing our legs around our opponent. So we train like this so when we do compete no-gi, or mma we are trained to not allow space.
One thing he has me working on is grip strength, doing my workouts with a towel. chin ups with a towel and cable rows with a towel, this makes my grip that much stronger and tighter, so if i grab you good luck getting free.
We also train to not grab clothing in class as well, one we spend way too much money on our gear for it to get ripped and two if you are always looking for the proper techinque to clinch with your opponent then you will not have to rely on any clothing.

yup, i do that sometimes.

I think EB was referring to the BJJ "establishment" refusing to recognize that you have to train different for no gi. So they totally discounted it and ignored it. As for what we wear and what Brandon wears, maybe it's laundry day. I'll say this man, and I'm not trying to insult you, but I think you might try to over analyze things a tad much.

I like this move!!!

I was just wearing them. I wear them for several reasons. protection from staph, ringworm, make less leg hair on the mat, no leg hair in your mouth if i am teaching a move that puts my legs in your face, stay warm, knee injuries, slow lactic acid build up.I don't recall why i was wearing them in that particular vid though.

i don not wear pants in competition though, be it tights or gi pants. High level tournies dont allow them and some even make you wear their rashguard and shorts. another reason is that MMA doesnt allow them...or should i say the UFC. the rest of the major MMA orgs let you wear the Aoki style pants. they are the bomb by the way, you should try them.

saying that it isn't "true" no-gi or its a handicap in mma is a joke. same reason people wear knees sleeves and ankle sleeves. notice i said sleeves and not supports, those are for injuries. another reason its a joke is cuz people dont say its not 'true' no gi when some one wears a rashguard. so why complain about the no gi tights? we should all roll around in tighty-whities for that matter then.

no tighty whiteys for me man. i don't like jiu jitsu that much bro.
