Master The Move: The Shoulder Crunch Series
Master The Move: The Shoulder Crunch Series by John Danaher
Now, my Sumi Gaeshi is a primary weapon, not a backup. When the initial sweep doesn't land, the system immediately provides a high-percentage transition into leg locks or upper body submissions. This series is absolutely essential for anyone looking to build a reliable, sequential attack system from the Butterfly Guard in No-Gi. Highly recommended!
