Yuri Simoes Collar Drags Travis Stevens


Well, it's a real move. 
If something worked on an Olympic silver medalist, who also cross trains JiuJitsu, then it's in the book. Kinda like seeing Marcelo's arm drag to inside trip he does. It works. It works against great guys. It's real. 

When guys I train with ask me to show them some Judo style takedowns or gripping I have to always preface it with explaining the paragraphs of rules in Sport Judo governing gripping, stalling, passivity, banning leg grabs and try to inculcate in them despite a lack of experience in Judo competition that what you see in Judo is a by product of the narrow range of throwing and gripping and deliberate use of penalties to produce a particular type of throwing and hyper-aggressive style.
