𧡠Unusual Techniques Seen in MMA

I'll start
>Scorpion Rib Crush
This 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:

Very 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 immediately

Can'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

Not 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=Lu0
This 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)

There'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.

Daki Age
Daki Age (ζ±δΈ) 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.

This is my signature move, I call it the dazzler, when I'm hitting it from the back i flip, lift, pin against the wall

>do-jime
Very 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 BJJ
I think most BJJ comps ban it now because of how gnarly the breaks can be.
>>214192
Should 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

Kani basami can be done safely, but most people don't ever learn it properly and yeet their entire body weight into someone's knee.

>Piledriver
This 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=1iK
It 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.

>Jumping back side kick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF1
This 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 grab

>The Boston Crab
This 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=fC9
A variant of it taking only one leg was used to win in some Cambodian bush league:

>McKenzietine
This 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 buddies
It 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 neck
Example of him hitting it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M8
Here's a breakdown of someone hitting it in MMA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui_
To 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=QQL
Here's an example of it being used in a BJJ comp:

I don't think I understand this, it seems like a standard arm-out guillotine?

Watch 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 too
It's a slight variation on the guillotine, it just has an unusual origin

>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_
It'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/OSMp
At the time it was claimed to be a crescent kick, but that's quite a different motion. Here's a video discussing the difference:

>Rolling Thunder
This 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=F_0
It'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=QeU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z9
Here's an example from Probellum where it actually got a knockout (against a former UFC fighter):

And strangely enough despite this nobody has ever been DQd for doing one.

That's clever, never thought about using it like that
It'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?

>Iminari roll
This is one that was developed within MMA (I think?) by Masakazu Iminari, who still fights in Rizin.
It's a sort of inverted rolling entry to a heel hook, it's since become a fixture in BJJ but you also see it in MMA occasionally.
Here's Iminari himself doing it:

Imanari is great at submitting his opponents, but him doing shit like pulling guard is the reason why so many people dislike MMA or find it boring. Either take your opponent down or stand up.

Kinda stupid it's banned
The solution if they have their legs on you and about to get bombed, is to just release the fucking guard
It just helps the retard doing the leglock to succeed off of something stupid
