Short slow/relaxed roll video.
Made this to put up on Scramble's wall just showing a roll on the first night using their new gi but figured you all might find it entertaining.
Ignore the peanut gallery comments, we're a pretty relaxed school, also yes not only do I have 1 nostril filled with tissue because I was hit in the nose, at the end of the video I get hit again and the other nostril starts going. Good times.

cool, thanks for sharing.
Relaxed rolls are the best. Can’t wait to go back to the dojo. I haven’t hit the mats since X-Mas and I’m getting anxious. Hopefully I’ll stop felling like crap tomorrow.
The first submission was sweet. Pardon my rookiness but is it a modified triangle or are you attacking the arm?
The first submission is something I came up with (until someone else shows me a video saying they did it first), it’s a choke that allows for both of my opponents arms to be in the guard (as long as one is controlled on the outside), just something that works with the whole long legs/long arms body type.
Essentially what I’m doing is forcing the arm that’s controlled on my left side into the opponents neck a’la triangle while my right arm is set up on the other side of his neck pressing against the carotid, I link hands and then extend my arms to squeeze the leg into the shoulder and the arm into the neck like a vice.
Glad you liked it.

If you hurt your knees I accept no responsibility. Don’t force the leg position, I’m retarded flexible for my size which is one of the only reasons it works well for me; definitely not something I teach people on the regular unless it works for their game.

Take note that once I get the right leg locked over the leg I slip the grip my right arm had on my left leg (shooting my right arm through the gap) and then connect hands in an S-Grip. Applying the pressure is essentially straightening the arms against the legs and also extending the legs while keeping your ankles locked.

that submission is called
the Teepee. Or that’s what I saw it called when I saw Eddie Bravo teach it. I’m 6’3 240 and I have insanely long legs and arms, disproportionately so for my size, so I use stuff like that all the time
by OneFitchTwoFitchRedFitchBlueFitch on Jan 13, 2012 11:04 AM EST up reply actions
Teepee actually involves a one arm in one arm out situation (i.e. a triangle) where both arms reach behind both legs to cinch it up. This move while similar has both of my opponents arms within my guard and I’m reaching one arm past his head with the other on the outside of my left leg.
Similar mechanic, completely different limb/guard positioning.

the way I saw it
both arms were inside the guard. I’ll try the one with one in-one out, never done it that way

Yeah, they came out a lot better than I thought originally, I’m a nerd for Japanese history so I didn’t really mind the whole hakama type details though.

That was a d'arce at 1:12 right?
So even if the blue belt posted in the mount he would still be getting choked right?
I so wanna grapple right now.
Close, it’s a “S’larce” which is essentially a modified ezekiel choke/d’arce where you use the sleeve (like in an ezekiel) with the d’arce under the arm/around the head set up.

way to pick on the white belt for the camera :P
seriously though, a nice, flowing roll. Also you have a fucking sweet gi.
You look like my own personal hell. Tall, lanky, flexible guys give me fits. One of my good friends at my school is the same build and started out with Eddie Bravo, so he is mad flexible and his legs are just fucking everywhere when we roll.

To be completely fair the white belt and I were supposed to match up well before someone offered to tape it haha, I took it easy on him! I swear! And yeah my body type gives a lot of people issues, I’m hyper flexible (feet behind the head etc etc) and 6’4, 205ibs so it’s odd to see someone my size with flexibility.
The gi is definitely terrific, I’m a huge fan of Scramble’s products (Martialfarts/Matt Benyon the guy who runs it has posted on BE quite a few times), high attention to detail/quality and great design.
The gi also doesn’t feel as “fragile” as the latest Shoyoroll releases have, it has weight to it and feels durable while staying very comfortable. If you’re a gi nerd like me, definitely look into Scramble’s next release.

well if I’m ever down by you we will have to roll. I’m not quite on your level but what the hell.
I also feel a rush of grappling guys fanshotting videos of themselves rolling.

You’re absolutely welcome to come by to roll/take a class etc anytime. Ben Thapa has swung by the academy already and hopefully had a good time.
If you ever find yourself in the Northern VA area, bring a gi (most Fridays are No-Gi though) drop me a line and then come on by the school.

well I've only ever been to Northern VA once
and that was for less than 24 hours, but I have loose BJJ pilgrimage plans taking me all over the place, so I can add it to the list.
same goes for you if your ever in Chicago, let me know. the 3 GBs here are very open to visitors.

A gi-nerd?
You can be a gi-nerd? I stupidly thought they were all basically the same. What do you look for in a gi?
New author at Head Kick Legend
Quality of stitching (attention to small details), durability, the way it’s cut, quality of material, design aspects, innovation.
It’s essentially the same things you would look for in a suit… a suit that you fight people in. You don’t want a gi that’s going to rip easily, have stitching come undone, have patches fall off/tear, have the material wreck your skin or your partners, have a collar that is weak/too thick/too thin…
The list goes on and on, a good gi makes all the difference in how comfortable you feel while rolling; a bad gi can hurt your mobility and fuck your skin up with small cuts or it might just fall apart and be a waste of cash.

Thanks lots.
By the way, while we’re on the topic of gear, do you roll with compression shorts?
I got a pair (under armor) for Christmas and they are supposed to improve your ability to “feel” where your hips are at. I’ve worn them about ten times for training so far and I like them but mostly because they keep “everything” locked in, kind of like a jock but without the cup.

Oh man..
There are so many differences. Like Patrick said, you want something that is not going to fall apart, but you also need to look at the weight and cut. I’m 6’1 170 so I like a slim, tight, athletic cut, like a Fushida. Some people (judo guys especially, it seems) prefer a baggier gi. Then you have variables like how much the sleeves shrink in comparison to the rest of the gi, how long the skirt is, etc.
Nice rolling.
I also thought that first move was a teepee. I learned about it in one of the Eddie Bravo books and had always wondered what it looked like on tape, so when I saw that I thought “oh is that the teepee?” Glad to see you addressed the differences, thanks lots.

Thanks for posting
Love to see rolling/comp footage on here. Hope to post some more comp vids in February. Where is your school exactly? I’m DC from time to time and would love to stop by and train.
It’s in Springfield, VA off of the Franconia Springfield Parkway/Rolling road. Drop me a line on here somewhere as a reply to a post to let me know if/when you’d like to drop by and I’ll shoot you the address.
