Luis "Sucuri" Togno attempts a basic choke from the side mount position,
by sliding his right arm underneath "Snake's" right shoulder and
grabbing inside the gi collar with a four fingers inside grip. Sucuri also
grabs "Snake's" left gi collar with a thumb inside grip with his
left hand. Notice how snake is already starting to defend the choke by blocking the elbow |
 |
Sucuri would apply the choke by dropping
his left elbow to the ground, while he stabilizes Snake's gi collar using
his right hand. Snake blocks the choke by preventing Sucuri's elbow from coming
to the ground. |
 |
When Snake blocks the choke, Sucuri changes
the grip that he has with his right hand by moving the hold from the gi collar
down to Snake's bicep. |
 |
while controling the bicep Sucuri then
starts to bring his other elbow to the ground... |
 | .....as
the elbow goes to the ground Sucuri is then able to bring Snakes arm across
his body... note that your elbow plays a major part in your base so you don't
get rolled over Sucuri "switches" his hips keeping his weight down on Snake's neck as he prepares to step underneath his right leg with his left leg. |
 | As
the arm is being trapped you bring your left knee into his shoulder.... never
letting go of the GI collar nor the arm and always keeping your head low and
your body weight on your opponent |
 | Detail:
Notice that Sucuri's Knee is tight up against Snake's side just under his
arm pit |
 |
|
 |
Next Sucuri prepares to take his right knee to Snake's right shoulder, keeping Snake's right arm trapped. |
 |
Sucuri has Snake's right arm trapped.
Sucuri's bottom knee is press tight against Snake's side underneath his right
shoulder. Sucuri's top knee is pressed down on the top of Snake's right shoulder.
Notice that Sucuri has maintained his grip on Snake's left gi collar throughout
the move. To finish the armbar you just squeeze your knees and elbow while you lean back |
