"You lack discipline!"
Found this bouncing around facebook. It details among others Rickson, a teenager, and Relson Gracie defeating a Karate school in a challenge match.
If nothing else, hopefully it's a reminder that for non-takedown-centric players, you should be drilling bridging the gap and gaining top position. Especially when punches are involved.
For some extra interest, here's the Ezekiel from inside the guard. I've blogged about it here before:
"Is Ezekiel the name of:
a) a 6th century BC priest/prophet whose 7 visions comprise a biblical book of the same name
b) Ezekiel Paraguassu, member of the Brazilian National Judo Team who choked a number of Gracie Barra black belts from inside the guard with the sleeve choke now given his namesake
c) both a. and b.
d) none of the above
---------------------
The correct answer is "C".
Disrespect the choke at your own peril.
