Seems that way but you really have a ton of control of their lower body and can attack very quickly. They can push on your top leg but can’t escape before they’re forced to tap. Try it and let me know.

It’s a real thing.

Get those foot grips and slide down. They’ll be really confused, maybe cling harder or maybe let go. Either way you’re not being choked.

You’re amazing

Sometimes ya gotta cuddle to escape I guess.

Yikes!

Could've sworn I replied. Anyway, so, this is also a setup for a sweep to the one armed guillotine. If they do attempt to roll you maintain the chin strap and just help them over with your off hand. You end up on top with a one armed guillotine (two if you reach through and connect hands). However, with this choke, your off hand reach's up and grips the trap muscle on top of the shoulder / neck area. When you turn your wrists up and pull your arms apart, your off hand ends up applying a lot of pressure across the top of their back, making any kind of roll nearly impossible. Just try it a couple times, you'll feel it.

@@bjjblackbelttodd that makes sense. Thanks for the detailed explanation, I’ll drill it today:) cheers!

You’ll tap long before you can get the von flu going. I know because that’s exactly what I thought when he did this to me.

You’d think so but in order to von flue you gotta get under the arm, which is really hard to do when you’re head is trapped.

@@bjjblackbelttodd it's like I tell my white belts: if head is on one side and body is on the other don't keep the head wrapped. To be fair you can hold the head in the GI if you're going for the loop choke and can get under but the von flu is actually designed for the head to be trapped.

The von flue is great against a guillotine grip, not so good against the chin strap. With a guillotine grip the von flue literally traps the hand. The difference is how the head is captured. You literally can't get into a von flue position, even if you attempt a tripod, which you can't because your hips are being held. Plus, the chin strap hand can be removed, negating any possibility of a von flue. Also, this is a great setup for a number of sweeps. Just try it as I'm showing it, I think you'll find that grip very effective, to have any chance your opponent will need to disengage, giving you an opening to sweep or get up. BTW: I don't do this in gi.

You are welcome!

What's up?

It depends on the individual but in general it takes 5 years of consistent mat time to be somewhat competent (Purple belt maybe). It then takes another 5+ years to be truly competent (Brown or Black belt), then you realize you’ve really only started to understand anything at all about the art.

Like all jujitsu, it’s totally fake

If they try to re-guard, attack the near side leg. You can heel hook, straight ankle, Mikey lock, etc… think of this side control as an attack platform.

@@bjjblackbelttodd you had me at "attack platform"

Oh boy…

Holding up the card is an experiment

The vast majority of the time your opponent is concentrating on covering you with limited time to react. Worst case scenario you end up in a scramble instead of being on the bottom of side control.

@@bjjblackbelttodd ~ yeah, that makes sense. I wasn’t saying it wouldn’t work, I just meant, based on situation. In a broad sense, that’s what you said

Actually I just try and use technique and leverage which can look like strength

Thanks a lot

I think he said “That was fun”. Something like that.

Ha! I’d say that you should use your best judgement

​@@bjjblackbelttoddrightfully said

Nope…. Straight up tapping.

Submission whisperer

So hard when you feel like your life is in the balance…. Ha!

Will likely create a drill course soon. Stay tuned.

Do you mean all of jiujitsu starting at white belt? I'm certainly going to try to show and explain techniques, however, enrolling in your local school is your best bet to really learn. You need other people to drill and train with. If you have no school, let me know and we'll see what's possible.

Thank you... trying to get all the detail and have better explainers. On this one I forgot to explain how important it is to hook the shoulder with your foot... next time.

The opponent will defend so be prepared.

Nope…. Only way out is to foot tap because your hands are trapped.

not like this

Looked the “Iron Sheik” & his camel clutch up. Looks like the grips are the same but the body position is different. Might work if the opponent goes belly down.

@@bjjblackbelttodd Yes, if that's the case then make a successful version 👍
