So I was messing around while seated and did something that is already a thing and I'm trying to figure out more about it. Basically while seated if someone is advancing you create a wedge by crossing your legs on top of eachother and you use that V shape to catch their ankle area on their lead leg. I was able to create some nice offbalances with it and I was told one of our higher level competitors does it all the time so it's definitely a thing.

This approach has a crippling weakness to the bronco buster

I like the Zeke as a back-pocket choke. Threaten /occupy their attention with other stuff and then hit it when they least suspect it.

Or alternatively, do a Ezequiel setup that’s ridiculously telegraphed to try and open something else up.

That's how I use it. When people are flattening me out and crushing me in half guard, I'll lock one up to make them move a bit and I'll start shrimping. I can't remember the last time I made someone actually tap to one, but that's not the goal. The problem I've seen is that some people learn about them and just hang onto them through thick and thin as they lose position.

The receiving end of an Ezekiel choke from the top is no place to chill out and relax. If they've already grabbed their sleeve and gotten their fist to your trachea, you're in a *lot* of trouble.

Well he didn't know how to do it, didn't even have his own sleeve gripped but was just trying to force his hand under the head on one side and push with the other straight down. And that wasn't doing any choking at all, hence why I wasn't worried. Then he grabbed his wrist through awkwardly and punched down essentially.

It had literally just gotten him with one and I think he tried to imitate without understanding what I did.

90% of the time I only ezekiel someone just to distract them while I get out of their half guard or reposition myself.

Also one time me and a blue belt who refused to tap both locked up simultaneous ezekiels on each other and then we fell over and just held on for dear life. Sadly my blood failed me first. That was the first time I've ever gone out on the mats. He said after that he was maybe a couple seconds from going out too.

Mike Fowler was just in town visiting our gym for a week and he said he does that all the time. He would actually hook with his feet and then pull himself into their leg to initiate his guard.

Yea it's a pretty cool concept and I'm gonna run it by one of my go to upper belts soon to think about it more. I've developed a pretty good game (for my level) from sitting partially because I got very good at stopping people from passing from there so I give myself a lot of time to attack. The one move I don't see people do that often is, depending on the range, I'll grab their lead leg ankle while heisting up and pushing into their hip. Once your standing you can try to keep pushing the leg up or just sweep the back leg out. I guess it's just an ankle pick variation but I hit it on some advanced guys, I think it works good if you have long arms. You can also hit that if they're standing side on to bait you.

e- Did he pull ashi from there?

A ton of dudes on my team have had meniscus tears repaired. Some have also just ignored it and kept training although one orthopedic surgeon told me that ignoring a meniscus tear is a good way to have a bad joint in the future. I'll reach out to some of the guys tomorrow and ask them about it.

This is me. I have ignored it for 2 years. I know a bunch of people that have had it done, they said it's roughly an 8 week healing process. I did PRP and a bunch of physical therapy/strength training exercises. It really only bugs me in a couple positions when rolling and my every day life is fine. I'll wait until they come out with a replacement meniscus before I get surgery.

The bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.
Ezekiels have been my favorite submission since a small older purple belt caught me with one from the *bottom* of mount when I was a white belt. My old gym has a solid white belt -> blue belt program, but it doesn't include Ezekiel chokes, so in the final month or two before I switched gyms, I made it my personal mission to catch every single white belt there with one and then show them an escape/defense for it. Stopped back in for an open mat a few months later and some of the white belts I recognized were doing them to newer ones that I didn't recognize. It's the ciiiiiircle of liiiiiife

Had a repair which lasted maybe 2 years, another bucket handle tear later on and I had the torn part removed through keyhole surgery. Recovery from the repair was nearly 6 months, removal maybe 2-3 - was also seeing the surgeon's recommended physio and cycling a lot. Don't really notice any issues now although it can sometimes lock in some situations if my knee is fully bent and I push sideways.

Had a small 'parrot beak' shaped tear on one knee that they just trimmed out, 2 weeks later had clearance to do everything. 10+ years later no issue. It wasn't cause pain only popping (subluxation) surgeon and sports doctor were very adamant that it wasn't something that could be managed with PT or any kind of surgical repair was possible. Basically was told if that I had the ideal meniscus tear, very minimal amount of material removed.

About 3 years ago completely hosed the other meniscus, turned a big area of it into fairy floss that they cut out. Surgeon literally said "there's nothing you can do, you've trashed it" - that repair and recovery would be a very long process that would not last if I continued to be active. If I was older and just looking for quality of life then he would not recommend but still would offer it.

I don't think I've been swindled by meniscectomy-hungry surgeons/doctors. My wife is in the industry and went through her connections to find doctors and surgeons.

I broke a training partner's nose tonight! She was in top north south and leaned in right as I tried to get my knees between us. POP. I barely felt her nose make contact with my knee. Blood everywhere.

I just got back from the ER where I sat with her while she waited and she told me about her etsy projects :v:

She didn't have her weight down on me yet to secure north-south, so I was trying to own the space by getting my knees between us as a shield so I could roll back over to a seated position. She leaned forward at the same second.

Yeah, that. Exactly. I've done it a million times as a way of keeping the space to shrimp out when someone is trying to sink north south on me. The collission was just a tiny *boop*, too, but it did damage.

Not that I'm aware of, although the scar tissue and repair probably made it more susceptible to a similar injury. As I recall, the surgeon from the repair suggested that it may tear again and need to be removed but indicated that repair was preferable.

In hindsight as the repair only lasted two years I would've probably gone for the removal at first instance. I just try and build up muscle to support the knee now.

Was able to roll 100% two weeks after the surgery and 10 years later can still do it no problem at all. All my ligaments are in great shape fortunately.

I was doing 10km runs, jogging, weight training, etc as well. Since obliterating the other one I still roll 100%, lift weights and run around the mats for warmup, but don't jog or play touch football/soccer or anything like that because of impact.

Probably will be an arthritic mess in my older years.
