This is my fav hold down. I always get it.

But the problem is I can never finish the choke..The mma guys do it defferent.

Which is best for the choke hold?

[BeyondGrappling]

you have to make sure both your arms are on each side of the neck to attack both arteries, also depends on where the arm across their neck is situated.

also the wrist under their neck, rotate it into the base of the neck and pull up, should cause a bit of pain

awesome! this is my favorite pin on people ...

one question when you push up and apply pressure ... from your stance are you pushing more toward his left ear/ left shoulder ( in that direction) or more toward the top of his head?

[BeyondGrappling]

i apply the pressure to my opponents left ear but be careful that they dont bridge and roll you. So put alot of pressure but not all your bodyweight in case they roll.

I think it is a verry good instructional video!

I can really use this in my lesson!

Thanks!

[Football10Fan]

would you happen have a video on how to apply a submission or choke after executing the Cuban roll (Sorry, I don't know if there's a technical name)? What would you suggest?

[lilemokidjordan]

best instructional video on YouTube, it hurts when it's done to me but I enjoy doing to to other people :)

[BootyBot]

i love this.

@BeyondGrappling i like to finish it with pulling up on uke's head (not shown in your video). is that acceptable or not as effective as the other methods?

[imahksdu]

thought it was matt hughes at first. o and his name is also matt!

[cygnus108]

Thanks for the advice. Tried it and got the taps. Twice!

Can you post a vid on side mount escapes?
