Thread: moves that have NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE?

Funny though I dont look into alot of things anymore as in new position moves I would rather just master the basics. Then keep learning them is not bad though just pulls me away from those basics.

Discuss. as for the ad. it just says never been seen, it doesn't say they're any good. there's probably a reason they've never been seen before.

Maybe more a more accurate claim would be "variations" never seen before. People invent things constantly, even white belts by accident. In fact, you have to make all the moves "your own". You should do your main moves in a way no one else does, because of your unique movement and mind, like a fingerprint.

It's called a merepuff. It's advertising. Basic marketing fail.

They are probably techniques known only by blind grapplers!
