Mixed Martial Arts Tips : How to Defend Against a Front Choke Hold

[TheRockstrHague]

id rather do a judo hari-goshi and use the leg to sweep

[xjxm]

I've never seen this choke in the UFC and if this is for self-defense than a strike to the eyes or throat should come before the neck hold. Just my two cents. Thanks for the lesson.

[baldoorochimaru]

k se eche un pedo hhahahhahaha

[latinoleominster]

anybody see the guy sweeping?

[BinkiMaus1]

PAUSE THE VIDEO AT 01:30....yeahhh that´s not pretty..o.o

[RebornEgo]

thats why i love judo - looking great & extremly effective.

[1998bigben]

sweet!



[cassiesmum]

what about if your not strong enough to throw them??

[FutureUSMC12]

@cassiesmum It doesn't really take much strength. It simply takes technique and speed.

[mybdayisoct1]

i agree

[pivotfreak8]

people use their arms now.

[GabbysMyKittyRawr]

This a good instructional, but perhaps you could have used another application, I learnt this one from a friend who does Judo. Drop the chin, step forward with your lead leg and wrap it around your opponents lead leg then push with your lead hand on the opponent's neck as you sweep him off balance. It may seem long, but its fast. :P good video though.

[GabbysMyKittyRawr]

@DragonZord90 Hey, mate, I studied Pak Mei Ying Lung Gung Fu, and Fu Tzao Gung Fu, now I'm gonna ask you nicely, to not trash other martial arts, cause thats not what Gung Fu is about, Gung Fu is about hard training, not bad talking, respect other practitioners of other arts, cause no one style is better than another.

[Tezcax]

@DragonZord90 ok, try to elbow my teeth out when i'm mounted on you dropping bombs to your face.And that's probably what would happen if I took you down, as you prolly have no damn idea how to do preventing me from mounting, no, you won't be able to eye gouge me when i'm landing on top of you.

[GabbysMyKittyRawr]

@Tezcax Perhaps we should all stop debating on whose style is better, cause no style is better than another, their efficacy is in the application, BJJ = Beastly Ground Game, you came Ground/Pound the shit out of your opponent. Kung Fu = One of the best stand up styles, allowing the practitoner to take more than one opponent. Its just how you use the style.

[Tezcax]

moreover, if you're facing 10 guys it may not be a good idea to take them to the ground, but what if they try to take you to the ground? Wrestling, judo or jiu jitsu will surely help you, whereas kung fu won't help shit, because if it did, all these practicioners wouldn't have been defeated by the gracies in complete no rules matches.

[Tezcax]

@DragonZord90 Multiple attackers will kill you, knife wielding opponents will also kill you if you don't have a knife of your own.That's not mortal kombat.Sorry.

And bjj was created for self defense, in fact, if you're so traditional you should know it came from japanese jujutsu an ancient designed to war martial art.

[Tezcax]

@DragonZord90 Yeah, it's better to use the death touch or something traditional.lol

Anyway, I learned a different escape in bjj, and personally the best way is to uppercut the opponent, he's completely open to it.

[MikeUntstinks]

geez....How about just simple finger jab to the eyes? Attack the fingers, wrist lock (something like nikkyo from Aikido)....

[saulacaradecula]

this is the worst way to defend a front choke

[terrorstatenz]

to many steps

[abigfartstain]

how about droping your chin, and slug him in the sloar plxies or the groin, bet ya the attacker will let go.

[steroid1966]

hip throw then what ? any armbar any atemi

[CupisHomines]

not too dissimiliar from tai chi's needle at sea bottom.

[d31onmar5h]

or.. an easier move... drop back and pull down with both hands his right or left hand... like so... wah cha!! jk.. but really thats all you need to do drop down like 8 inches while going back pulling with both hands the right or left hand =]

[TheLibertard]

I'm vomitting

[carveriscool]

Aha! Click 0:34 a bunch of times and look at the guys hand make the noise.

[wicho20]

You are refering to the technique applied break the fall; it helps a lot if you´re being thrown hard. Theres also a lot more details for the technique to work properly. But I can assure yout that it´s not intended to impress the audience by "making noise".

[carveriscool]

But he was so late.

[TeamKitoStaff]

If you can't do this you can always lift your hands up between his arms, separate his arms by quickly putting pressure on the inside of the elbows, quickly wrap your arms arounds his arms and put them under your armpits then pull him towards you and knee him in the gut.

Then you just push them away afterwards and it's back to square one. Of course you have to do all this quickly, it's worked for me before.

[rondolce]

Your hips have to be below your partner's That gives you a good fulcrum and your partner's body is the lever. You also have to get him off balance (That's the pulling the arm down part). A small person can easily throw a big person using correct judo technique.

[TheAlphaLV]

The more big your opponent is, the more noice when he falls down ;)

[dysfunctionaldave]

anyone that says you can't throw a big guy is lying. The bigger they are, the more weight and momentum you have to work with, once you have good technique you'll learn that bigger guys are actually easier to throw.

[Bloodstainguitar]

Exactly, just because you personally don't know what your doing and have perfected your technique dosnt mean its not possible. I train with several of my friends, im the smallest, yes if they get ahold of me I will get throw around like a rogdoll, but if they lock me they fall alot harder and im more adgile

[metalheadedtothemax]

@dysfunctionaldave now as soon as he lets you, you're golden =)

[FutureUSMC12]

@metalheadedtothemax Knee him in the groin or just move fast so he can't react to it.

[G4pcta]

ffs just kick him in the nuts!

[englishzuds]

lol

[discoder]

@G4pcta Which, incidentally, is part of the Krav Maga method of getting out of that hold (while simultaneously breaking the hold by plucking both hands in a swift motion). Far more effective and less time consuming than this move.

[Cadbil]

@G4pcta

Yeah but you are not gonna kick somebody in the nut if they are ripping your throat and tossing you around.

[MynameisAbhaySoni]

@G4pcta

That is pretty much what the instructors teach the students to do in Krav Maga.

[wazzuspartan]

My brother lives this one

[DaveTehSinner]

Maximum effiency minimum effort? I'd like to see you use this move on a 150 kg person and see how well you do.

[xmanbearpigx14]

judo 101-hip toss

[TTFAF18]

good video, except what if the guy is bigger than you and you cant lift him

[darkmonkey342]

if you cant lift him, then do something else :p hit em in the throat, break the arm, what ever...its just 1 of a butt load of things you can do.

[kommisar]

That's bullshit. It's harder to lift a big person but you can. I had a little kid practice a hip toss on me (outweighed him by around 80-100 lbs.) and he was able to throw me.

[jonmcfarlenbager]

is you cantlife someone on your back and just move him over you, you needa hit the wieghtroom.

[WoWfosho22]

not if you are rly short or they are wayy bigger than you

[jonmcfarlenbager]

if you shorty than them thats an advantage when fliping.

[Haulicost]

its a good move because ur actually using the opponents own weight against them

[xmanbearpigx14]

and thts ecactly what judo is. maximum efficency, minimum effort

[KaynaTax]

Why don't you punch him directly in his face when he graps you? Typical Judo/joi jutsu style, in my eyes.. not effective enough.. with all the possibillitys that he doesnt take dmg by the fall or you wont get him even down etc etc

[rustymaan]

if his arms are longer than yours, and you said you lift weights, is to jam up (almost punch) his elbow joint and push up to the sky. this will put him in so much pain he'll forget why he was choking you.

[rustymaan]

i'v been taking goshin jutsu and studying other martial arty forms and i'm gonna almost 100% assure you that unless you actually know how to do this move, you just gonna look domb and not be able to do it. if that dude does choke you, i'd say since you have no martial art practice, to just go for kicks to his stomach and punches to the face.

[kitauoko]

I would just take my dick out and choke him too.

[hugh6910]

HAHHHAHAAHAHAHAHAAH

[jayavanmaele]

Kitaioka Are U a fucken pervet

Go play with ur sisters bits

[Sportsman3232]

nice video

[FabianoRonaldo777]

Nice move.. but I think it is easier just to knock him out.

[jl5000]

What if he's got longer arms than you, lol.

[gamerxx777]

im 15 ive never been in a fight before i lift weights. I mean ive beens sucker puncehd but of course that never counts. Im seriuosly thinking of using this technique on A KID AT SCHOOL WHO IS PISSING ME OFF.

[VulcanZoar]

I don't recommend violence. The reason any punk is messing with you is basically you have something they don't. A freedom of mind, a state of higher quality and it would do their warped minds satisfaction if U could just respond violently,this makes them feel good. It proves that theyre not so bad, and they essentially turned U into THEM. Someone else havin something they dont they eliminated by having you loose it. But dont neglect self Respect. If he really is gonna hurt U,let him know that...

[VulcanZoar]

... let him know that you respect yourself enough to defend yourself. And this choke move in the above video? It's great, but its not ideal if he's significantly taller. Value what U got, let them stay jealous and suffering. They put themselves their, and misery loves company. Dont give em that company.

[ibanezwarrior666]

i disagree with vulcanzoar here, im 16 and ive been in a couple of fights with people hu have have something against me like with ur problem. ive been doin kickboxing 4 years and my advice is destroy the prick with this move coz it will impress others and make him feel like a dooshbag n he willl nevver bother u again.

[aznseanyboy]

good luck, i wanna do the same too :) but then i would be the bully

[borobei]

you can break his posture but you need to be strong to do that(what yo did on the demo)however if u are short,skinny and weak u cant do that.never.

[goldmine1995]

if u are good at kartea or other stuff /9like me lol) they should never get that close cos u would just do a front kick to stop them

[SunDownPoint]

lol, your funny, it would be so simple to turn to the side and grab your leg, which would result in an easy take down, into a submission. there's no such thing as being untouchable.

[temptingf8te]

Koshi-Garuma

[j0e14]

heres another one

you idiots!

punch!

[aferthought256]

Even though that man is very rude he is right.

[ichdenker]

yeah punch him

[Twinkletoesoxoxox]

what i don't get is i know thousands of different moves to break this n others but cuz i'm small for my age i can never throw people and i no u r supposed to use your back as a pivot to half the wieght but i just ain't strong enough

[Greatsocratesghost]

Try going under his armpit instead of around his head, it works so much better for me.

[mathewattridge]

It's not all about strength it's also about technique, do it fast enough and put all your power into it and it should work =]

[fedekiller]

can you put more advertisment in ur suit? XD

[gmswilkins]

nice technique but when your right hands comes thru you could eyegouge him or strike him before you headlock him and throw him.

[Sportsman3232]

nice can u tech me and give me info on this because i am looking around for info about doing mma and i havent had any luck

[MMAfitness8]

those are my video, what state do you live in?

[slipknotandtool]

There's a very easier way to do this in karate, but I guess the karate variation is a bit more self-defense and not throwing them down type thing.

[aqbjr]

This basic technique is very effective even in actual situations and of course with different variations. The five basic techniques in aikido are ikyo, nikyo, sankyo, gokyo & yonkyo for submission (wrist & elbow techniques). The technique is more deadly if combined with combat or or any other form of offensive martial arts. Best regards, sensei aqbjr - MSKC - Philippine Embassy, U.A.E.

[XKravMagaX]

dude this guy makes these defenses 10x more complicated than they need to be

[Hiddenblademaster]

I wonder how the assistant feels in all these vidios.

[kezmund]

like a bitch

[Subnoize6969]

lol use the white belt as the dummy

[True4you300]

What about if the guy weigh 20 stone?.

[kensei1984]

It would still work. It's all about technique.

[80XY]

I feel sorry for the guy who gets thrown around for all these videos!

[Kapstok1211Runescape]

haha yeah

[Shadowmov3r]

choking FTW! haha i love choke holds

[drift4thrill]

haha then everyone is gonna kick your ass and flip you like waht he did

[Shadowmov3r]

well im not so sure about that

[GreyGooseVodka555]

hahaha now imma use dat in bed

hahaha jk lolx
