  10. Why not have both text and voice, satisfying both crowds. Those who prefer text can mute and those who prefer voice can listen/and or read.

    That is of course if doing both would not be too much of an inconvenience to you.

    I very much appreciate your videos. Thank you.

  12. I am really working on the crucifix at the moment. I also put myself in bottom side so the use of the chinstrap and loop choke from there are things I need to explore. Don't think the guys at my gym will like the chinstrap but it's totally legal and they need to be ready for it in competition.

  22. Awesome breakdown BJJ Scout! I was fortunate enough to roll with Alexandre and now I have an insight into why I was tapping so much, but there is no stopping him . Easily the best grappler I have ever rolled, effortless submissions at his desire.

  23. Love the Computer voice. It adds another element to your witty quips. It allows me to immediately grasp the technique instead of worrying about reading. I actually turn off the volume when music is played.

  24. Scout,
    As always, your content is absolutely awesome and you should be proud of it.
    This is an outstanding work with high level analysis and clever observations.
    I sincerely hope all the issues regarding unauthorized use of your videos are resolved in your favour. You deserve better.
    Thank you from Brazil.
    Best Regards
    PS.: I also prefer text over voiceover, but don't mind me, feel free to keep the format that best suits you.

  30. Please keep the voice. Also, I've been finding myself quite often in these entry positions so I've started to look for the crucifix more and I'm landing it. My problem is with the finishes. When attempting to sink in the choke my opponent keeps being able to turn into me. I'm guessing I need to pull him more atop of me? More pressure from the grapevine in his legs maybe? IDK, I'm right there I feel like this is almost mine.

  33. Aloha BJJscout. Loving this video. I was wondering if you could do a video about the use of the two on one and Russian tie in grappling and mma. Seems like a strong positional control while standing. Just wondering if it has been explored much.

  38. I'm about 2 months into bjj now and the crucifix is something that naturally comes to me already. My only entry I've developed to break in a crucifix is a seatbelt rip. It becomes hard to lock the arm down if you do not keep the seatbelt tight. From here instead of using the lapel for a clock choke I normally try to use the seatbelt to pull their shoulders away from the crucifix to create more pressure on the shoulder and elbow. My rookie 2 cents on the only thing I've got going for me so far. Good luck turtle busters.

  40. Seems to me people learn different ways, for me I like the audio since I have a hard time seeing the words and trying to follow what's being pointed out at the same time. Maybe do both?

  44. Thanks! Being older, finding the leg hook for the arm entering the crucifix is actually easier many times than going after leg hooks for a more traditional back attack, due to hip dexterity ( or the lack there of). Also, following a long wrestling career, the "Merkle" leg hook is very familiar to me and I actually use it in BJJ from the "Dog Fight" position. Lots of good food for thought, thanks again!
