I didn't see the fight. It doesn't say what kind of wrist lock this is, but if it works it works.

It was a modified Omoplata. -
Royce has been cross training in Hapkido. I wouldn't be suprised if he adds more techniques into his arsenal. His kicking seems to be getting better since the old days of UFC.Comment

Didnt think that Akebono had a real shot.unless he got lucky.Comment

Where is your source Tom Yum? Jiu-jitsu has wristlocks and kicks in it.... and he's been training kickboxing which is probably why he is getting better at kicks, although his kicks really weren't anything special in that fight.
He won that fight with his lifetime of Jiu-Jitsu, not some 6 weeks of cross-training hapkido.
It was an omoplata with a wristlock on the end. Pure BJJ.Comment

Whoa Tom!!! Don't you know that there is nothing that's effective that's not already in BJJ? Back aways slowly Tom, S-L-O-W-L-Y. . . . . .

I'm not trying to be a BJJ jock-rider.... I'm just saying, Royce used BJJ in that fight. Hapkido does not have an omoplata, and wristlocks are just basic jiu-jitsu.
I try to give credit where it's due, and in this case it's due to BJJ.Comment

BJJ is the style that Royce uses and has sharpened over the years. He cross trains in Hapkido as well, primarily to give him some stand up that mixes well with his style
""Royce Gracie is Nono’s most prominent student. The Gracie Jiu-jitsu Academy in Torrance founded the no-holds-barred, pay-for-view Ultimate Fighting Championship. Royce is a repeat winner of the event. Gracie Jiu-jitsu emphasizes ground fighting, where most street fights end up. Nono coaches Gracie in kickboxing and stand-up techniques.""
There are cross-reference techniques that are the same in many arts. My MA history is very basic, but aikijiujitsu (one of the parent arts of Hapkido) is related to Japanese Jiujitsu.
Hapkido uses alot of pins that become locks. I'm not saying that HKD matches BJJs ground game. Yea he used a bonified omo plata, but that pin is also a Hapkido technique....
the difference is that you have to allready have a brown belt in HKD before you really get into ground fighting, atleast at a traditional Korean HKD school
The modern combat HKD schools probably get into it a lot faster, but honestly borrow atleast 3/4's of their ground work from Gracie JJ, especially the 'position' work and position based escapes, ground mobility and hosts of additional subs. Ground work is more organized and formalized in BJJ.
I learned how to do an armbar (from about 4 different angles), chicken wing (high/low), several different lapel restraints/chokes and the rear-naked before BJJ became popular; they were called finishing moves. Also learned several pins when you had the top position or got to your legs first.
Didn't learn about guard, side mount, sweep reversals and other techniques until I took some BJJ.Comment

Omoplata isn't a pin. What are you talking about?Comment

My coach and Royce are good friends.I will ask him.

Its possible, I suppose. The article said that he was helping Gracie with his stand up work, not grappling.Originally posted by HappyJackSladeComment

Hia Tom yum.
stand up as far as ring craft goes,i could understand that.But Royce is a ground fighter.Then again you prepare for different fights in different ways.Its possible, I suppose. The article said that he was helping Gracie with his stand up work, not grappling.Comment
