I saw this technique performed on a clip from a International level tournament. I've always liked cradles but keeping a strong opponent cradled the traditional way has always proven difficult since Judo pins require a longer pinning time to win. This technique solves that problem and makes your Crossface extra powerful and tight, to be honest you could just bulldoze lots of people to the ground with just this Gi-Crossface and some drive of both legs!
