Hamstring Slicer?

Dec 17, 2007 10:11

I've done about 6 or so Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sessions so far and yesterday I pulled off a submission 3 blue belts had never seen before. I was getting trapped into an omaplata, which is a submission in where the opponent will take his leg and wrap it around the crook of your arm and then rolls over and traps your arm with his leg. I knew I was about to get put into this position, so I let my arm get trapped in it, and once we rolled, which only takes a second, I locked both my arms, around his inner thigh and put my body into a position where I could hold him into place. I'm not sure how I even thought about doing this, it came very naturally, but I could feel my body was in a position to create a fulcrum with arms locked into his inner thigh. So I cranked my arms and my forearm flexed into his hamstring. At first he was confused on what was going on and grimmaced in pain. I didn't crank it all the at this point because you have to very careful when attempting any submissions to people's knees hamstrings etc. It's one of the most devastating submissions and could leave you fucked up for a long time or even forever. I asked him if he was okay. He said yes. Then I cranked it all the way and he had to tap.

After he tapped, I looked over at the two other blue belts and they looked pretty puzzled on what happened. They weren't sure what that submission was, and I couldn't even show it to them after it had happened and the guy who I put the submission in had to re-inact it. Apparently it's a variation of a leg slicer but applied to the inner thigh and hamstring.

They were really impressed and said if they couldn't find the submission online or in their books, I should put a video of it up on youtube or something.

Oh and that was the only submission I got the whole day. I got schooled in the basics the rest of the time. There was one guy there who had really good technique and he could put me into any position he wanted. He said I had good natural movements so that was pretty encouraging. I really want to get enrolled at Jax Beach JJ, but from they were saying, the price has gone up to like 160 bucks a month.

Hopefully I can find a school that is a lot cheaper and also has Muay Thai or kickboxing or just even boxing would be cool, too.
