  • @salvationwar You make a great point. I was just about to say I got choked even while I was mounting the guy once but then I read your correction. This is something that I was never taught but I have experienced in sparring outside of gyms.

  • wanderlei silva did this against sakuraba

  • @Quig2k7 but he dont have enoug pressure to let you tapout

  • @salvationwar I accidentally said mount, I meant crossface ;P DO NOT GO TO MOUNT lol you could still get choked.

  • @ARandomCanadian Yes it can, it's pure leverage, my buddy weighs about 215 Ibs and I train this move with him every day, in the gym. You aren't just picking him up, relying on your muscles. You notice how he puts his leg behind the victim and twists to an angle on the guy? It gives him leverage. This move is like a mix between a Judo throw and a Wrestling takedown.

  • @Quig2k7 Yeah he could, actually inexperienced grapplers will most likely hold onto your head after the takedown, but now you aren't being choked, and if they're going to hold onto the headlock then it's just a simple pass to the mount to get out of it.

  • @salvationwar This is different from the one in "Never Back Down". The movie one is actually a bit better. Instead of bringing your left arm around the left side of his head, you shoot it to the right side of his head and curl it around his head.

  • @Quig2k7 Yeah, and you're also slamming them into a side control position, where they can't finish the submission, and where your head won't hit the mat if you're slamming him correctly.

  • "I have my friend here do a guillotine on me" that sounds sooooo wrong...

  • @Quig2k7 yes but he can't do anything with it and you can crossface to release yourself
