swim move

Here’s Eddie demonstrating the swim move to the spider web position, and then finishes it off with with the bicep crusher. A good example of this is Dong Sik Yoon vs. Melvin Manhoef

10th Planet DFW’s Brandon Quick shows a new brutal way to set up the twister from the 100%. It traps the opponent’s far arm, making it easier to apply the submission.

This pass didn’t have a name, or at least not one that we knew about. So, Eddie decided to name it after the guy who does it the best, Karo Parisyan. Karo actually stopped by Legends while Eddie was teaching the technique, and Eddie had him show it to the class. Karo later calls Eddie about it. Eddie was a little scared at first, he was not sure if he maybe offended him by naming the technique, The Karo. Karo has a reputation, as seen on The Ultimate Fighter, as being a bit tempermental at times. Karo called to say he was actually stoked he named the technique after him.

This is one of me favorite passes. I use it all the time.
