By Coach David Sutton
Get ready to put your opponent in a human straitjacket. Well-placed grips are what makes this submission powerful.
Breaking it down:
- From mount, grab your opponent’s arm with one hand while pushing behind their elbow with the other, driving their arm forward
- Continue to push their arm down across the opposite side of their body
- Drive down pressure by placing your sternum on top of their elbow, trapping their arm
- From here, slide your arm behind their neck, reach deep and grab on to their wrist
- Grasp firmly, further trapping the arm. With this move, you’ll wrap their own arm around their neck and gain powerful control
- Slide your opposite hand in the space between their neck and inner elbow
- Place your thumb on the inside of their shoulder
- Make a fist and position your hand alongside their jugular vein
- Finalize the choke by straightening your elbow and arm up as your fist applies pressure to your opponent’s neck
Level: Intermediate
