Erik Paulson - Key Lock Chain from Kesa Getami #1

[vipersniper61]

whats the technique called in which you move his arm against his neck and choke? (in this video)

[irondragonjkd]

@vipersniper61 -- -- the technique you're thinking of is called "kata gatemi", one of seven basic judo mat holds. The name refers to a "shoulder pinning hold." However, kata gatemi can also be applied as a "side choke or arm triangle choke" if your opponent is tries to escape from the basic shoulder pin.

@ 0:50 his Erik's hand is too low in relation to his wrist. If the opponent is strong enough and turns sideways, he can reach over Erik's shoulder and grab Erik's hand. It would either force Erik into submission with a wrist lock or force Erik out of the position; thus losing the double wrist lock. The hand must be on top of your own wrist to stop this from happening... great transition though.

that is amerikana and kimura .. is that basic submission ? or kinda advanced ?

[laokon]

@789101 basic to medium difficulty, but this doesn't mean it's easy of hard. A straight ankle lock is very basic, yet is very difficult to do correctly and has so many variations, it takes a long time to master.

great keylock. This was one of the first things I learned when I started taking MMA classes (less than a month ago) problem is that I learned it from the front mounted position. This makes it hard to get a guy's arm in position he can fight you, the side mount is better because you have more a of an explosive thrust to get the wrist down.

What's the difference between a keylock and a kimura?

[RightWingCon81]

Well there are many schools of thought as to what a "keylock" actually is. Keylock was originally a catch wrestling hold and was a bicep crusher with the arms in a similar position as a kimura. The video's lock is usually called a keylock these days, or an Americana or shoudler lock. The kimura is sometimes called a reverse keylock. The basic difference is with a kimura the opp's arm would be down and the wrist would be grabbed by your low arm and high arm goes around to grab your own wrist.

[worthy81]

we call it the Americana back to front kimura!

i'd love to see erik and tony cecchine go a round or to.who do you think would submit first? erik seems more "fluid" in chaining his submissions.

[Bgoff27]

That would indeed be a clinic but i'd have to give the edge to the perfectionist Paulson.

[karl911]

paulson.

[robnajar]

Erik would submit him in 20 seconds or so. Not a cocky statement, just being honest. Erik trains Barnett, Babalu, Cub Swanson and basically owns everyone in the gym rather easily. His ground game is absolutely amazing.

[mrnaji]

he also trains lesnar, once lesnar finally gets his catch wrestling game up to snuff, watch the fuck out

[wrestler50000]

There was a part in this vid that reminded me on Tony Cecchine, going by his lost art of hooking DVD, but the truth is --- Erik Paulson would win, in my opinion. I think Tony is a very good Submission Wrestler, but he is over hyped in his own marketing strategies on being the leading authority in Catch Wrestling. My money is on Erik Paulson all the way. Would be interesting to watch it though. LOL.

[HaloDudeFromYak]

that was an awesome show of transition from move to move. i just leveled up in intel :P

[kdmunn]

That chaining sequence is beauuuuutiful!

It really shows a Catch-as-catch-can flavour,too.
