вЂњWe might see their positioning and submission defense evolve, but in order to add new weapons to your game, you have to spend time practicing and drilling them. You have to spend time just drilling without 100 percent resistance and keep drilling that move that is foreign to your game until it is in your DNA. вЂњItвЂ™s very hard to add new weapons to your jiu-jitsu game when youвЂ™re just sparring,вЂќ Bravo said. Fighters are often hesitant to expand their jiu-jitsu skill set, for whatever reason. While he does expect the sheer volume of twister submission attempts to increase, he does not forecast it ever being prevalent. вЂњNo one wants to add a new technique into their system until they see someone do it first. вЂњThatвЂ™s usually the way MMA works,вЂќ he said.

Now that the aforementioned Jung has brought the twister to the forefront, Bravo fully expects to see the frequency of the maneuver to increase in MMA. In time, вЂњThe TwisterвЂќ would go on to teach the move to his students while he blossomed into one of the most respected jiu-jitsu instructors in the world. People started calling me вЂTwister EddieвЂ™ or just вЂThe Twister.'вЂќ People in the audience would start calling out the twister. вЂњIt became cool in tournaments when I would compete. вЂњWhen people started calling me twister at school, I wanted to put a stop to it,вЂќ he said. While it initially may have been rather silly and turned off Bravo, he slowly warmed up to the idea once he started competing and finding success in jiu-jitsu tournaments. It just reminder me of yellow, green and blue dots with kids playing the twister game.вЂќ I thought that was the weakest nickname ever. вЂњFinally, they started calling me the twister, and I hated that. And there was already a guillotine in jiu jitsu, so they didnвЂ™t call it the guillotine. I told them it was a wrestling move I learned in the ninth grade called the guillotine. вЂњMy instructor Jean-Jacques Machado changed the name to the twister, him and his brother.

вЂњIt was always the guillotine to me,вЂќ he said. He brought the guillotine along with him. In his 20s, Bravo began to train in Brazilian jiu jitsu and find his calling. вЂњIn wrestling theyвЂ™re called вЂleg riders.вЂ™ Leg riders are usually the ones that are good with the guillotine.вЂќ вЂњUs weak wrestlers were forced to use our legs in unorthodox ways,вЂќ Bravo said. They both thought it would be ideal for the small-framed Bravo, who lacked a bit in the strength department. It would be two upperclassmen, one junior and one senior, who pulled him aside and taught him the move. It began on the wrestling mats in California at Santa Ana High School, where Bravo was a member of the schoolвЂ™s wrestling team competing in the 119-pound weight division. You have to go all the way back to 1985 to trace the metamorphosis of the wrestling guillotine to the jiu-jitsu twister. They didnвЂ™t know what the hell that was.вЂќ When people saw the twister in the UFC, that was the whole world watching. вЂњIвЂ™m shocked we havenвЂ™t seen the twister more in MMA,вЂќ Bravo said. Shayna Baszler, Jason Day, Jason Chambers and Nick Thompson all have successfully executed the technique on the regional circuit in recent years, but none executed on a significant platform like Jung did. It was the first twister in the UFC, but there have been four or five other ones in smaller shows.вЂќ вЂњIt was actually not the first twister in MMA. вЂњIt was pretty amazing, pretty surreal,вЂќ Bravo recently told Radio (after seeing his baby hatch for the first time inside the octagon. In other words, the timing could not have been better.ДЄlthough Bravo did not invent the twister, a move that originates in wrestling (in which it is known as the guillotine), he is credited with successfully adapting and popularizing the move in the world of jiu jitsu. Jung stated in his post-fight interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan he had learned the technique by watching online instructional videos of 10th Planet Jiu-JitsuвЂ™s Eddie Bravo.ДЄlong with the Internet postings, Bravo already has a book on the market entitled вЂњMastering the Twister,вЂќ and he currently is in the process of finalizing a DVD on the subject set for release in June or July. History was made recently when вЂњThe Korean ZombieвЂќ Chan Sung Jung forced Leonard Garcia to tap to the first-ever twister submission in the UFC history, which came this past month at UFC Fight Night 24.
