Arm Triangle Re-counter: the Catch and the Hang Up

[Five5six]

Some old school Gene Lebell stuff here.

[GRANDMASTERxxxFLASH]

how do you defend this?

[abcdenoerrors]

use your left hand to push your right elbow away, towards his face. if you're not strong enough to do that, i'd say just hang up yourself, bring your trapped arm across the other side and defend it from there.

[KingCrimson1982]

Check out a youtube profile called IFAacademy for a nice escape.

[GRANDMASTERxxxFLASH]

i get this done to me all the time. im flexable like you stated in the video but it pisses me off. is there a defense for this?

[chushinryoku]

by the way this also works great of someone's defending a keylock

[chushinryoku]

Great minds do think alike I love the catch n the hang up is something I use all the time but I never had a name for it until now :P

[gwhype22]

I love everything you guys post, keep them coming.

[fraankiee]

Very good counter to the telephone defence. But that's not the proper way to go for an arm-triangle choke, your suppose to get on your toes and use your chest for extra pressure.

[Submissions101]

This one of the variations we do in 10th Planet (sprinter stance/knee on belly). There is nothing wrong with this variation. There is NOT just one way to get a head and arm choke.

Look up the Chimp and the Impaler in Mastering the Twister book...other great options.

[fraankiee]

You are right. I know there's no perfect method for a technique, I just meant in my opinion using the chest for extra pressure will require less strenght in getting a tapout.

[Submissions101]

I like the driving pressure with the knee...adds more for me ;-). We make jiu jitsu our own after all....its all good!

[waxeater]

Everyone's an expert, right?

Considering the number of people I've personally seen go to sleep being choked in this same manner, I'd say it's pretty "proper."

[victorthemagician]

wow dude this video is awesome the havent taught me anything like this at my jiu jistu gym i go to im going to try it when i spar if i can get it

[Hotora86]

This is brilliant!

I learned a defence, a counter-defence, a counter-attack and a counter-defence-attack! ;D

[AavonorcaA]

Is this technique part of the 10thPJJ system or ?

I'm a BJJ purple but interested in 10thPJJ. What self-defense applications are there in this system, if any?

[Submissions101]

I learned this from a Catch guy. The hang up is from 10thP. As for self defense, I would say that 10th Planet is more sport/mma focused. It does however include many of the same things found in BJJ. That is why I study JJJ for self defense.

Your videos are really excellent but just a suggestion to make them easier to view. Don't have your partner wear a black shirt because his arm (or leg in the case of pants) gets lost in shadow or against your own black shirt and it sometimes gets difficult to see the exact positioning of your limbs. It would be better if he wore gray, a light color, or was bare-armed.

[Submissions101]

We usually do this or at least try to have a contrast. It was an oversight with my black shoulders and his black shirt. Thanks for keeping us honest ;-)

[drumzct]

I'm going to use this all the time. Very nice options to have there.

[JRT140]

Great detail on this Ari.

[Submissions101]

Thank you bro...appreciate it.

[ononorthey]

aagh, YES! This will signify the return of the beloved arm triangle into my arsenal. I look forward to trying it on some of the bendy people and seeing if it opens up anything else.

Any (additional) tips on using this counter-counter from guard?

[JiuJitsu81]

Awesome video Ari! I like that a lot!

[LandonLockhart15]

Why did you guy's take away your playlist. It is terribly difficult to find anything...

[Submissions101]

Goto our main site. Our search tools are WAY better than you tube.

[LandonLockhart15]

I Appreciate it and I appreciate all of your videos. Goes over new moves that I dont get form Gracie JJ.

[10thPlanetWatch]

This submission could be called the Americanada IMO

[EpicurusThirteen]

Oh, cool, I love a good arm triangle, so any counter-counters are great.

[wasala12]

tom used this in his fight

[balletman]

I like that one. I'm always looking for more attack options from mount.

[Shogun777]

sooo technical.. good stuff ari!

[thelilpoint]

Haha i love the name. Hang up.

[ChuckNorriscool2]

Dang! That is so simple yet so affective!

[oneasterisk]

As always, tight technique. Thanks again gents!

[cyrsnxw]

Great lesson. Keep it up.

[magicpick76]

[KevinWood44]

I am curious as to what tourneys you have entered and how you have done in them???

[StereoSkater]

Awesome. I get people defending the arm triangle quite a bit, so this is goin to help me out. Thanks a lot.

[shadoe311]

I've had this issue recently in a tournament. This helps a ton, as do most of your videos!!

Thanks very much!!!!!!!!

[hungryforinnout]

ari, are you ranked in the 10th planet system and have you trained under eddie? just wondering since you've been doing alot of 10th planet stuff for awhile now.

[Submissions101]

I study under Eddie and I am ranked as a Purple belt under him in the 10thP system.

[BxMafioso718]

that is a sick arm lock wow you guys are always coming out with the sickest moves.

[Submissions101]

Pick this one up from our Catch Wrestling coach that teaches at our gym. Glad you liked.

[BxMafioso718]

[10thPlanetWatch]

[Submissions101]
