Welcome back to another episode of
Scenic Fights' Fight Scene Breakdown.
My name is Chad Vázquez
My friend is Logan Lo
and together we're going to break down the grappling scene
of a 2014 Chilean film, Redeemer
Starring Marko Zaror.
[Chad] Nice high kick!
[Chad] Alright, a little exaggerated, a lot of big movements.
[Logan] Right
[Chad] Looks cool for the camera.
[Chad] That's a legit move. Ōuchi gari
[Chad] Alright so now we're in a foot lock here.
[Chad] so he's going for an Achilles lock with the feet hooked outside.
It's also referred to an Outside Ashi.
There was a kick that was involved, and I caught the kick.
Me being Marko's opponent.
Logan being Marko.
This hand either it was free or had a grip.
The front foot steps
The back foot comes in and now the front foot comes around for that take down.
The leg was still held.
The front foot that was used to trip the opponent, came over, sat down, into this lock.
Marko's opponent used a figure-four-grip
and if you look closely it was on the shin.
His feet is crossed outside and he started leaning back to apply breaking pressure.
There are some problem's here.
Better grips, the one I prefer is
using a grip like so
making a fist
grabbing it
hand high
Here I'm much more on the ankle and now I can fold the foot and apply a break.
Legs, I think they can be better.
One leg inside.
One leg outside to the hip, like so.
This is a classic version.
From here, I can use this foot to manage distance and to place me properly on the ankle.
And now from here.
We'll go really slow.
For the finish, I bring the heel towards his butt.
I'm on my shoulder, and now as I roll my shoulder back, I extend my hips forward
and I even look back
to bend the foot.
And that applies breaking power on the ankle.
[Chad] Marko did manage to get up.
[Chad] What he did was, he engaged this leg here using his hand.
Moved it over and stood up and stepped over the leg.
[Chad] Now the opponent went into something called an X-Guard.
He hooked the knee.
From here he stretched out the legs and swung over to some leg attack.
I wouldn't say this is the best X-Guard.
Usually this top leg you're looking at right now, goes to the hip.
While this bottom leg, stays to the knee so it's not here, it's here.
And as far as the transition to another leg attack.
There's a better option.
What he could've done, was take this leg and as he went to stretch him at angle
come back down to an ankle here, and do a trip.
If it works, I can come up and slide right into
an Ashi Garami situation
and I can go right into a foot lock again
and then keep on attacking and have proper control.
[Chad] Alright, Ippon Seoi Nage he catches himself on the feet.I don't know how?
[Chad] Inside trip! Alright.
[Chad] Now we're in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu transition. [Logan] Scarf
[Chad] Yup scarf hold, he's punching.
[Chad] Transition Turtle, now we're wrestling.
[Logan] Oh nice!
[Chad] Yeah
[Chad] Next technique I want to cover is the Ippon Seoi Nage.
Now I already went over that on the Donnie Yen break down that I did before
The difference though is that this one was set up by a punch.
Meaning during the exchange a big hook came on, on this side here.
I block and I hook.
That's the difference
and this could be valid
this could be valid if the guy is just throwing a wide punch here
and I have good timing and
and good eyes
this could be a valid entry.
Now there was a counter, his opponent, he did a forward flip to his feet here.
I don't know how real that is.
I think that's just the movie being very flashy.
But it happened.
The opponent held on to the arm and went for an inside trip.
Which took the fight to the ground.
There's a knee being thrown here.
Now the fight, the pin transitions from side control to a Scarf Hold.
Also known as a Kesa Gatame.
From here, Marko's opponent use this position to hold on to Marko and use his free hand here
to start punching.
What happens, the bottom person, Marko blocks and he decides to not stay here
and roll out into what's called a turtle.
From here we see a combination of wrestling and jitsu working together.
The wrestling aspect is to control here, okay.
This is actually a great position to start punching at.
This is a legit fighting position, I can hold on here, and start punching.
Marko's opponent was maneuvering side to side.
The reason why he was doing that, he was trying to find space to get his feet in.
He must have had a situation where the elbow is tight and he couldn't get in, so he switched over
went on top, and now, from here, his feet got in.
So Marko responded in the right way, on certain details here.
Okay, the first that I'd say is that his opponent had this type of rear-naked choke
where the hand is behind the head
and as I explained in a previous video with Donnie Yen.
My partner can start reaching to grab the hand and pull it off, which is what he did.
He also continued by using this hand to push off the leg and to roll into his opponent
to establish top position
and from here he went into a guard and started attacking.
Alright double leg.
Sprawl.
That's an Outside Head single. That was really nice.
Marko's opponent went for a Head Outside Single.
So from here he managed to step in
work a shot and land right so.
Head went into an armpit
He let go of his grips and got right into this control.
Marko responded correctly.
He started bringing hips out and started pushing my hands downward to break it and face into his opponent.
Now the next move is a little tricky. It's really cool.
It's an Inversion to a Crab Ride.
[Chad] He dropped down and dropped right to this position.
Feet like so.
My hands on the ankle
so I have control
I have to off balance him immediately
using my shins and knees, I'm going to widen out his knees
so that you can see that his hips will lower down to me.
Once I achieve this, I can reach up and grab the hips
and pull him to me to make him sit down on my shin.
My feet lift up so you can see right here, his feet are off the floor,
From here I shoot the legs forward, and I establish a control around the waist.
Now I can choose, either seat-belt first or a hook first.
It depends on what you feel him do, if he's educated, he understands what's gonna happen next.
He understands you're taking his back,
So you might have to feel out what comes first.
In this case I can go foot first
then the seat-belt
and then fall to my side to proceed to my choke.
Marko managed to rotate out into his opponent.
His opponent pulled the arm and got his feet over really quickly and locked up into a front triangle.
Now if you saw, his opponent, paid dearly for not doing a couple details I mentioned
on a previous video about Donnie Yen.
He didn't control the armpit or the leg.
If you're dealing with a really strong person
who has the power to get on their feet
pick you up and slam you
that is real
and that's how he was able to get out of the triangle choke.
There was a lot of great grappling.
My favorite scene particularly was
the one where Marko's opponent went for that single leg
back take, inversion to the crab ride
right into that back take.
That was really cool.
Somethings I didn't mention, there was a great armbar transition
There was something that I would say were done wrong
but overall I liked how it looked like.
There was sense or realism.
So I think that scene and other things.
That would lead me to give this scene a A-
Thank you so much for watching!
