I thought I would share this little bit that I found on the Dux website. Tell me what you think about this move that Dux uses to beat the Fish guy. If you ask me from a grapplers stand point I have never heard of such a move and sounds like it would not work. I have never heard a grappler use a scissor lock from the top position and this guy must have some really long legs if he can scissor lock all the way around the other guys upper body with his arms inside the lock.

HOW DID HANSHI CLEAN THE FISH?

One of the most satisfying moments in Hanshi's autobiography The Secret Man was when he dispatched the psychopathic agent-gone-bad serial killer dubbed "The Fish." Here are the actual quotes from page 304:

"I made a single leap to reach him before he could pull a knife or other weapon, and we collided. He went down. . . . I was on top of Fish, and although he threw himself into a frenzy of movement with everything he had, I wasn't budging. My legs scissor-locked in a stranglehold around his torso, pinning his arms to his sides and making the push dagger he'd drawn in our struggle useless except to scratch futilely at the ground. He got only one chance to jerk his head to the side in an aborted protest before I had his neck in my hands. I could feel his pulse beating wildly beneath my thumbs."

What is so impressive about the maneuver is that Hanshi applied it so quickly to a fully resisting adversary who was also well-versed in hand to hand combat. Now I've seen some wicked mounts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu where the guy on the bottom ends up with his arms trapped between himself and the guy on top, but where the guy on the bottom still manages to escape. Hanshi's maneuver allowed for no escape, and in my mind this clearly shows the superiority of DRN as a fighting system over BJJ.
