This is a modified arm drag from the half guard that we call "The Switch."

*Please note that we are fully aware that this is not "the switch" that is used in freestyle wrestling.*

great move...though, one technical problem i see is how you take the back. For example, when you play it in full motion, going towards 3:45min, you tend to post your hand out after releasing the arm drag. Instead, you should try to execute seat belt grip. "Taking the back," the way to show it, is a good example of how easy it looks to shrug off. Marcelo Garcia shows pefect execution of taking the back using seat belt grips in gi and no-gi.

@wailukustrider22 Marcelo is the master... I highly suggest his material!

THIS MOVE IS DISGUSTINGLY AWSOME!!!! SICK BRO! I imagine you can do this from full guard also?

[TechniquePrevails]

You can use the arm-drag from full guard which is similar. But with full guard you don't already have one hook set for when you take the back.

i am a huge fan of your videos, i'm a former div 1 wrestler, blue belt under ruben charles, and practicing mixed martial artist. I'm very interested on hearing your technical opinion on revisions of the guillotine choke.. aka the shinya aoki guillotine( high elbow), knee in guillotine( team alpha male uses often.), and the militech revised guillotine( Jens pulver uses). i have had success with all three. possible video subjects??? :]

@wailukustrider22 the back isn't the point of the video, the transition from half guard is

@maylay116 this is interesting i have not ever heard of a knee in guillotine.. got a link? / would love to see a video of tons of different variations with the guillotine including the 'McKenzieTine' (got other names..) thats becoming popular as well which is more of a loop choke and therefore a blood choke than a guilo but very similar. none the less would be a great video.

thanks

every time i lose in a roll i turn to your videos and they work perfect! but what happens if i lose in a roll against you!?

[AudienceKiller66]

It's a lot to remember without being able to do it hands on.

Very good. Thanks for the video.
