Seems a bit spammy and self serving to present it this way, no? Only a teaser youtube video with a link to an online university site so egregious that my adblocker blocked it as spam. $50 to watch your video when everything on BJJ Globetrotters is freely available on Youtube for others.

This is a better link with all the videos :) https://www.beltchecker.c[...]mber=34197

Hey Luke. I haven't played with that as a position, can you explain why it makes sense to separate and adopt it in between more traditional guard positions/attacks and omoplata position?

Looks like legs on back guard. But I admit the rodeo guard is a far better name for it.

Ha - I prefer legs on back, more descriptive. But cool, always interested in more guard content, especially if it developed from being smaller than everybody. :)

I learned it from Cyborg's instructional videos. Lots of 'pay attention guys' phrases used in that DVD set. One could develop a drinking game out of it.

I'm not surprised there are other versions out there. I don't think it is possible to truly invent something completely new, given how long grappling has been around. At best, you rediscover and modify existing techniques, whether or not you come up with it independently. E.g., there's a posture break I use from closed guard that I've not seen anybody else use, but I'm pretty certain I haven't come up with anything new. I'm just not aware of the other people who have done it in the past. Though reinvention and modification is just as important: e.g., Priit's sterling work systematising a whole bunch of wrestling influenced techniques in BJJ and developing his impressively cohesive approach.
