    It takes kung fu/practice to be good at dancing, too.

    distance, position, steps--- to the rythm of the music.

    That's not a common escape in BJJ/MMA?

    Can't remember where I learned it, but it was a long time ago....

    I like the forward version, off an arm drag or trap, where you bring your heels around into the guys face.

    good to know our dive roll practice is not in vain...

    Hmmm... I was taught if someone does a flip like that, run in and stomp his head while hes down, or get him while hes getting up and off balance... But I guess that would be frowned upon in sports...

    On the other hand, when someone grabs your leg like that, as you could see the guy that grabbed the leg adjusted his foot after he grabbed to have a stable stance, you sink and bend the knee to pull them towards you, then you either strike them in the face, as both hands were commited to your foot, or kick back out...

    Easier said than done. Stomping a trained fighter like a chump isn't going to happen. You have to fight for it like anything else. It won't happen like that with evenly matched fighters.

    It was a bit of a rough roll...

    If it is, I'm gobsmacked. It is so simple and so effective, it borders on common sense...

    More mumbo jumbo....funny when you watch a fight and someone pulls something off that isn't seen to often and "blam" thats CMA right thar...

    NO it's common sense that's all.

    In 22 years I have never seen it taught or trained by anyone outside of CMA is why I say it is CMA. As far as common sense making something universal, It does not. For example, moving one's head to avoid punches seems to be so common sense that everyone would do it in martial arts yet, only boxing ever really does it.

    I've seen it in karate, caporia, I believe tkd as well. Maybe you need to expand your persective. as for your last opinion about boxing... so your saying that anyone else besides boxing just stays inline with taking punches in the face??
