>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:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Pel1w2tZYLA
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

>axe kick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjbvjzyZUMM
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=Lu06qrzR_-c
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)

Daki Age
Daki Age (抱上) 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.

>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.

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

>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=1iK2KToL5tc
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=pF1XnT3Q5T0
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:

>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=1M80HqjHvV0
Here's a breakdown of someone hitting it in MMA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui_fO8GTyik
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=QQLFTkzrm82iqhBS&t=1687
Here's an example of it being used in a BJJ comp:

>>214499
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_82a5CbPA
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/OSMpJdpzTi8
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=tVpGI-a1O9I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_07cRUad9I
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=QeUJXadwLPE

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

>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:

You're being disingenuous. You know damn well I mean when one competitor gets in dick sucking position or bottom missionary and the referee doesn't force the guy to stand back up and actually fight. If they're both already grappling on the ground and one chooses a defensive position, then that wasn't what I or anyone else was criticizing.

>>220403
>If You remove strikes these things become exploitable and it's not beneficial to run in there and get quickly takedowns
You know what's less beneficial: training bad habits that would get you stomped in a real fight/non-competition environment.

>>220413
Barring kicks to downed opponents created this whole mess in the first place.
If you're looking for weird but practical anti-ground techniques, check out Tai Shing Pek Kwar or Monkey Kungfu. Lots of chest stomping.

If they haven't managed to take out all the slack, you can twist to the side and roll out of it (ideally, grab their left ankle with your left hand and pull till you "spin" enough to take the pressure off.)
You're still going to land in a trash position, but it's at least an attempt at survival.

Maybe I don't know enough about sports fighting but it looks like it appears in the police and self-defense manual Scientific Self-defense by William E Fairbairn
>You and your opponents have hold of each other's clothing, as in Fig. 209, and you are thrown by the "Hip Throw" (Fig. 210).
>1. Do not release your hold, and whilst falling, pull downwards with your right hand and push with your left, simultaneously twisting your body toward your right-hand side; this will pull your opponent right over you and on to his back, as in Fig. 211.
>2. Retaining your hold, pull yourself into the position shown in Fig. 212.

>3. Release the hold with your right hand and seize the right lapel of his coat, the back of your hand inside the coat, the thumb outside, hand as near his neck as possible, at the same time passing your left hand under your right forearm and seize the left lapel of his coat as in Fig. 213.
>4. Keeping a firm grip with both hands, apply pressure by forcing the little finger side of your right forearm under his chin and into his neck, squeezing his ribs with your thighs and forcing downwards with your body as in Fig. 214.
>Note - Should your opponent sink his chin into his chest in an attempt to prevent you from forcing your forearm into his neck, force your wrist bone on to the point of his chin and work it to and fro. This is very painful and will quickly make him raise his chin.
>The alternative method is to fall sideways on to your back pulling your opponent over on top of you and between your legs; you will then be in the position shown in Fig.215. Lock your legs around his waist and apply pressure by pulling his neck towards you and forcing your forearm into his chin or neck, then shoot out your legs and squeeze his ribs (Fig. 216)
