Jung also part-grapevines Garcia's left leg with his right giving Jung a level of control similar to that of a 'lockdown' half-guard. From the back he transitions from having both hooks in and fighting for wrist control to removing a hook and quickly figure-fouring the other hook to lock up a single-leg control.

A wrestler would use the Guillotine to create legal discomfort with the intention of getting both of his opponents shoulder blades on to the mat to score a pin-fall.Įddie Bravo took the Guillotine from wrestling and modified and arguably popularised it for use in submission grappling where his master Jean Jacques Machado came up with the nickname 'Twister'.Ĭhang Sung Jung finishes it perfectly. It's still used in wrestling today but not to the same neck twisting degree due to the modern rules which take safety into consideration. There's a famous statue of Greek Pankration that has been oft replicated where one fighter is in the process of setting up the other from the cross body leg-ride. The Twister aka The Wrestler's Guillotine is possibly one of the oldest holds in the history of grappling. Gifs by BE reader Grappo (except the big giant one by KJ Gould).

In the full entry we'll look at some gifs and KJ Gould will break down Jung's application of the hold, plus videos of almost every other application of the twister in MMA history and the Gracie Breakdown and Eddie Bravo's break down of the move. It's also the kind of move that fighters with strong amateur wrestling backgrounds should be comfortable with. I expect to see more twisters in the future as more fighters get frustrated trying to get the rear naked choke and getting nowhere. As a beginning jiu jitsu student under Jean Jacques Machado, Bravo built his entire game around this submission since he'd mastered it as a wrestler and few of his jiu jitsu opponents were aware of it. The twister of the title is a neck crank submission Bravo brought to jiu jitsu from wrestling ( video) where it's known as the guillotine. Here's a little bit from my review of that book: The move is associated with rubber guard guru Eddie Bravo who wrote an entire book on it, called Mastering the Twister. And here at Bloody Elbow we have written up Shuichiro Katsumura using a twister variation called the exorcist at ZST 20 in May 2009.īut that does nothing to diminish the awesomeness of Jung's twister on Saturday. Gal's Guide to MMA points out that Shayna Baszler used the twister to beat Keiko Tamai at EliteXC in 2008. Jason Day tapped out Trevor Stewardson with a twister in 2009, video in the full entry. The Chambers-Stamp video is in the full entry. Jason Chambers tapped Billy Stamp with a twister in 2005. Gerald Strebendt landed what is generally considered to be the first twister finish in MMA history when he tapped Dave Elliot with one in 2004. While it was a first for the UFC, it's not the first time the move has been used to finish a fight in MMA.

It's something I practiced because it looks fun and I do it quite a bit in practice. "It's something I saw a long time ago on the Internet on video," Jung said. He talked about the move after the fight, per Kevin Iole: The unusual move earned Jung a $55,000 Submission of the Night bonus. When Chan Sung Jung, aka "the Korean Zombie" forced Leonard Garcia to tap to a spine lock called "the twister" at UFC Fight Night 24 it was the first time the submission had been used to finish a fight in UFC history.
