Now he uses only his arms obviously.
Can this be done with someone who had legs?
If you’re asking what submission that was, it looked like an arm-triangle to me.
Seriously, I’m not sure what you’re asking here.
That’s an interesting clip…man I would hate to be the guy who lost to the guy with no limbs, hehe, but the first post on this thread is almost not in English…
Yeah, I think losing to a guy with no limbs would be pretty embarassing. Then again, he’s basically immune to most submissions. What are you going to do, armbar him?
Other than chokes, I don’t think you could do much.
And the first post is most definitely imcomprehensible.
Banana split 
You think? I thought about that, but it seems like it would be hard to keep ahold of the guy.
and realize being in the same weight division with that guy means that his chest, shoulders, and torso muscles are VASTLY stronger than yours. furthermore, he only really has to worry about a few chokes, and he can easily turn on you as there aren’t limbs to get entangled.
Now TKD using only your arms, that’d be a fucking feat.
Edit: I just watched that video more closely and realised that that guy has no fucking limbs. Now I’m REALLY REALLY impressed… and somewhat confused. Can the grapplers here explain how you could possibly perform a submission on someone without any of your limbs?
It occurs to me that there’s no way you wouldn’t just choke that guy before he could do anything if you didn’t let him get on top of you first.
i remember hearing alot about him when he was in highschool as he went to a highschool near mine. He became quite an accomplished wrestler, so he is rather good at getting on top. still, ICY i understand and share your viewpoint. I suppose I need to take a trip up to athens and ask for a friendly grappling match.
How the hell does he wrestle without starting out on top…? Or at least starting in contact with his opponent? Because I doubt he could hop his way into a shoot…
Allow me to be the first to say that watching this would be fucking hilarious.
Not to take away from the guy’s grappling, but . . . dude. QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE. WRESTLING.
how the hell does he stay on top, it seems to me that he would have no way hold his base from being swept or just plain rolled
Basically, my question was this:
IS it possible for someone who DOES have legs to use only thier upper body?
Im not saying they should, if you have legs use them.
But is it possible?
I can’t detach my legs from my body at will…can you?

of course it’s possible but why limit yourself, also this is a question that can be easily answered yourself the next time you roll, you have to remember that while this guy might be able to just use his arms he also wouldn’t have to drag heavy legs around like someone who did have legs but was just tryin to use their arms
Watching his opponent attempt to triangle him was hilarious
I not saying you should limit yourself.
But don you think it would be a handy skill to have by it self?
I know that lots of muay thai people i see on forums seem to cross train in boxing along with muay thai, to fine tune thier punching skills. They arn’t limiting themselves, but making one aspect better(your probably know this better then me)
Can the same concept apply to grappling?
Yes, but not the way you’re thinking.
In grappling, you can train with takedowns, or start on the ground. This guy obviously always starts on the ground…so that’s the one aspect he specializes in.
Ah i see.
Thanks.
