no joke, that video is one of the saddest Ive seen on line of a supposed martial arts legend really getting exposed.

he should give back every penny he has every taken from anyone

Phuckles - What small details do you have that have made a technique finally work for you or make a technique you have that much better?

For me, the upa. Ralek did a seminar and covered the upa with some amazing detail. The simple detail that changed my upa and made it 100% better (like, I use it every time I am mounted and am rarely stopped) was so simple but improved my game so much.

Basically, you bump up, turn, end up on your knees, and then often times they pop-up/react and their leg is still on your back or they are posted out and reject your upa or are almost on your back.

The simple tip he taught was don't respect it. Just posture up/sit up and they will slide off of your back , usually right in front of you putting yourself in their guard.

Works every time for me and while I wouldn't call my upa the most solid upa ever it works. My partner hangs on and I can feel that they thought they beat me. Rather than lay back down to try a different escape or have them take my back I finish the upa that seemed doomed by simply sitting up.

Might sound stupid and small but I feel that this one detail allows me to escape mount a very, very high percentage of the time. I use the upa about 95% of the time and rarely does it fail now. The guy can be being heavy, and practically on my back and it doesn't matter. Don't respect it, sit up, and they slide right off.

may seem very elementary as I am a blue belt but whatevs. This was a huge break in my game as I no longer worried about mount as I could now escape a high percentage of the time which let me open up my game in other areas.

What do you have?

Bump for more detail of this technique. Sounds interesting
