All of this was with a gi, by the way, so I don't have any experience with the move not depending on grips.
One more thing: It's a nifty move, but why am I trying to me made to give a shit about Ryan Hall's gameplan? Are there that many people gathering around the nearest computer to check up on Ryan Hall's gameplan? And if he's had success with the position from what looks like a dangerous guard, why do you feel the need to explain the reasoning behind it by simply pointing out the obvious? I think the video is a bit contrived, but the embarrassing issue within it is that they're giving the impression that they think me, and everyone else, is really putting some thought into why Hall's guard looks like shit. It's like a completely unnecessary public service announcement.

dont be such an ass I personally like to inverted guard, but I guess its all about what works for you. I hate the spider guard and will only use it for transition and maybe a bicep slicer setup. You are correct tho, I dont think many people think his sitting to guard is weird but you never know
