I'll start>Scorpion Rib CrushThis is a variant of do-jime (banned judo technique but legal in BJJ and MMA) where you have an opponent in closed guard and squeeze your knees on their floating ribs.Here's a video of a WMMA fighter using it to win in Bellator:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Pel1w2tZYLAVery hit-or-miss but can either>do nothing (if they have a strong core)>break ribs>fuck up organs (supposedly)You can hear the opponent yell out and tap immediatelyhttps://judo.ijf.org/techniques/Do-jimePost more clips of unusual/banned judo/bjj/karate/etc techniques being applied successfully in MMA
>>214171Can't find the full video of the fight but iirc in the full version she gets dropped, pulls guard in a panic and then has a lightbulb moment and pulls this out of nowhere, it's pretty great
>axe kickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjbvjzyZUMMNot that unusual as it was made famous by Andy Hug in K-1, but it's rare to see it in MMA.In TKD we were always taught this was an import from kickboxing rather than part of the TKD canon, but in practice you see people hit axe kicks a lot in ITF bouts. Nothing more satisfying then doming someone with one of these.
>Kani Basami (scissor takedown)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu06qrzR_-cThis is another banned judo one (I think?) but perfectly legal in MMA and BJJ.Very high probability for injury (youtuber Rokas recently got taken to Snap City when someone threw this at him) so it's kind of a shitty one to attempt (vid above is someone doing it without injury but like half the vids on youtube are people fucking their shit up badly)https://blackbeltwiki.com/kani-basami
>>214175There's a few compilations floating around of the Shuai Jiao variations of this. I'd bet the relatively higher amount of leg wrestling they engage in makes both applying and receiving the technique smoother.
>>214175Kani means crab not scissors
Daki AgeDaki Age (抱上) is a throw in judo. It is one of the techniques adopted later by the Kodokan into the Shinmeisho No Waza (newly accepted techniques) list. It is categorized as a hip technique, Koshi-waza. In practice it is very similar to a body slam, the object being for tori to lift uke while in his guard subsequently forcefully dropping uke onto their back. This is a very dangerous technique that has the potential to cause spinal injuries. Generally uke will release their guard if they cannot prevent the lift.As of 2017, the Kodokan no longer officially recognises this technique and has been removed from the Shinmeisho-no-waza group.
>>214192This is my signature move, I call it the dazzler, when I'm hitting it from the back i flip, lift, pin against the wall
>>214171>do-jimeVery unpleasant, but I can't imagine tapping to it in an actual match, unless my opponent had just monstrously strong legs and was actually breaking my ribs>>214175>Kani Basami> legal in MMA and BJJI think most BJJ comps ban it now because of how gnarly the breaks can be.>>214192Should be a scoring position desu. Actually powerbombing your opponent should remain illegal, but if you get to a position where you can actually do so, it should be treated as the massively advantageous position it would be in a real fight
>>214175Kani basami can be done safely, but most people don't ever learn it properly and yeet their entire body weight into someone's knee.
>>214191It's an equivalent English term for the technique, not a translation
>>214192Rampage did something pretty similar to this vs Aronahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuqPGO_NcBIcompare tohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6znDs93sZc
>PiledriverThis is fairly common in pro wrestling but rare in MMA, probably due to the difficulty in setting it up and the amount of energy needed to pull it off (also not sure if it would be legal under current rules).Typical example from wrasslin:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iK2KToL5tcIt was famously done by Bob Sapp against Big Nog in Pride. Obviously has the potential for big neck/brain injuries. Probably the reason in later years Chael Sonnen saw him feed a carrot to a bus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmBzOaMd3nk
>Jumping back side kickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF1XnT3Q5T0This is a good example of where TKD can shine if trained properly. You're taught to do these kinds of kicks hitting small targets (often much smaller pads than you see in the video) so you can actually hit someone in sparring with it.Hard to do but it is possible to pull it off in TKD bouts. Pretty unusual in MMA as it's hard not to telegraph it (and getting enough air requires Randleman-tier vertical jump ability)Here's an example of Joaquin Buckley pulling it off from a leg grabhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QBP7gAZIOI
>>214242It's illegal in UFC, but was allowed in other MMA feds.
>>214251Yeah that's probably for the bestLesnar pulling that out of the bag would have been an uncomfortable watch
This is a fantastic thread OP
>>214469Thanks dawg
>The Boston CrabThis a pro wrestling spine lock (notably used by Chris Jericho, who used an elevated version of it called the Walls of Jericho). Very weird to see it in MMA but its made a comeback recently due to people like Craig Jones mentioning it as a way to bring cocky grapplers down a peg or two (as its pretty humiliating to get caught in it)We can see it being done here in FCC, in this spirit:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC9d_PLVtBYA variant of it taking only one leg was used to win in some Cambodian bush league:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOQVP2j7V_E
>McKenzietineThis is a rare example of a technique that was created in MMA and then became a staple in BJJ One of the seasons of TUF featured a guy called Cody McKenzie, who had no formal MMA training but had just trained at home with his buddiesIt turned out he had created a guillotine variant that cut off the blood supply a lot quicker (meaning opponents seem to just pass out immediately) done by kind of shifting your other hand upward on the neckExample of him hitting it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M80HqjHvV0Here's a breakdown of someone hitting it in MMA:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui_fO8GTyikTo be clear, this was like an average 4channer just showing up in UFC having invented an instant knockout move they invented in their bedroom.Napoleon Blownapart (whose vids I highly recommend if people are getting into MMA or interested in MMA history) did a short segment on it here as part of his TUF series:https://youtu.be/NcgRfBn211E?si=QQLFTkzrm82iqhBS&t=1687Here's an example of it being used in a BJJ comp:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M80HqjHvV0
>>214492His record is pretty mixed but you can see how effective his new technique was in his pre-TUF fights
>>214492>someone hitting it in MMAactually that was Cody himself, my bad
>>214492BJJ comp vid should be this one, my bad:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAvD9iDfFw4
>>214492I don't think I understand this, it seems like a standard arm-out guillotine?
>>214499Watch the Blownapart vid (it has the TUF footage), he's doing something weird with this other hand that cuts off the artery on the other side of the neck tooIt's a slight variation on the guillotine, it just has an unusual origin
>>214242Apparently piledrivers come up more than I thought in MMA>Neil Magny doing a variant of it in UFChttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9psC-PewFS8>A classic piledriver from some bush league event in 2011https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_tWUmY97e4>Another one from early 2010shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcHUAWSHZRg
>twist[ing] kick (biteureo chagi)This is an unusual TKD kick that you don't often see in TKD sparring. It's tricky to pull off with any power while doing the bouncy footwork, you sort of need to have your other foot planted, so it's pretty low-percentage for TKD competitions.This is a textbook example of it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_82a5CbPAIt's conceptually similar to a Question Mark kick, in that it gets chambered normally and then veers off at a sudden angle. In theory good for hitting like a liver at a weird angle or something.Justin Barry KO'd a guy using this kick in Cage Warriors:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OSMpJdpzTi8At the time it was claimed to be a crescent kick, but that's quite a different motion. Here's a video discussing the difference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gL040Y1enA&t=1s
>Kata guruma (shoulder wheel)A sort of firemans carry throw from judo>Textbook example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnHRhSy8yi4>Guy hitting it in an FCC bouthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1FwROUmd8QApparently this also exists in Aikijujutsu:https://youtu.be/wedBi0gXWzM?si=oHK5bAWjIbKvXdaG&t=299
>Rolling ThunderThis seems to be pretty common in knockdown karate like Kyokushin, but pretty rare in MMA (as if you don't knock them out you're in a terrible position)Here are two good examples of it being used in Kyokushin (courtesy of my new favourite channel Unusual Strikes & Submissions):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVpGI-a1O9Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_07cRUad9IIt's not seen that often in MMA due to how risky it is, but Justin Gaetje of all people seems to like throwing it right as the buzzer sounds so there's no risk of a followup:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeUJXadwLPEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z9MeG8XcvMHere's an example from Probellum where it actually got a knockout (against a former UFC fighter):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFJkUt04hXc
>>214251>illegal in UFCAnd strangely enough despite this nobody has ever been DQd for doing one.
>>214173If you want an unusual application of it in MMA, check out GSP. He used it to hit people on the ground as a legal way to get around the stomp rules.
>>214173>>214838And an even more unusual application in an MMA ruleset where grounded strikes are legal.
>>214838That's clever, never thought about using it like thatIt's surprisngly versatile. In TKD you sometimes get people just chambering their leg (like pic related) and kicking repeatedly to manage distance. I used to find that axe kicking directly into the chambered leg was a good way to remove that problem so you can get to close range
Would a gogoplata be considered rare or do you guys consider it common?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t53OxtzyMIE
>>214838Axe kick is used to finish downed opponents in some schools of Kung Fu afaikbut I'm not a kung fu fag so don't quote me on that
