			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was surfing the net and found a video of <span id="prod-company">Antonio Rodrigo &#8220;Minotauro&#8221; Nogueira that I hadn&#8217;t seen before. It&#8217;s 30 minutes long, and shows Nog teaching 11 MMA specific techniques.  The video was shot back in his Pride fighting days, for a Japanese audience. It&#8217;s pretty cool &#8211; Antonio speaks in broken English and it&#8217;s translated into Japanese. </span></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="393" height="393" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="id" value="VideoPlayback" /><param name="src" value="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=6128720650855456750&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=true" /><embed id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="393" height="393" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=6128720650855456750&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=true"></embed></object></p>
<p>30 minutes is quite a long time (for web surfers anyway), so I&#8217;ve listed the techniques in the video below. The video has nice technique recaps, so it&#8217;s easy to navigate to any distinct part of the video.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://slcmma.com/omoplata-omoplata-omoplata/">Omoplata</a> to foot lock.</li>
<li>Omoplata attempt, transition to back control, and finish via armbar from the back.</li>
<li>Armbar finish when opponent is resisting. This is a really slick move; he switches the arm he attacks.</li>
<li>Standard Kimura arm lock.</li>
<li>Sweep from blocked kimura.  Look how he bases strongly and really pushes off that back leg.</li>
<li>Kimura attempt to back control, finishing with a <a href="http://slcmma.com/rear-naked-choke/">rear naked choke.</a></li>
<li>Open guard <a href="http://slcmma.com/ground-and-pound-101/">ground and pound</a> defense, up-kicking into a triangle.</li>
<li>Closed guard ground and pound defense, transition to a belly down armbar.</li>
<li>Half guard G&amp;P defense, sweep into side control, finish via headlock.</li>
<li>Attacking within the G&amp;P, then defending the calf crusher.</li>
<li>Sprawl counter to a low single-leg take down, finish via a gator roll/anaconda choke.</li>
</ol>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen Big Nog use almost all of these moves in MMA fights.  Watch one of his highlight vids and you probably can check off more than half of the above list.  (There is even an <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8514646796961260432&amp;ei=BU9CSpesH5HCqAO_q7CbBw&amp;q=highlights+Nogueira+&amp;hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a">amusing compelation</a> named after the anaconda choke he uses).</p>
<p>If enjoyed that kind of material, I hear that Big Nog&#8217;s book, &#8220;Mastering Mixed Marital Arts: The Guard&#8221; is excellent.  After reading the amazon reviews, I&#8217;m saving my extra pennies to buy it.</p>
