From standing, Takamasa makes a cross collar grip, and pulls his opponent's head down as he steps toward him, looping his arm around the neck like a guillotine. He lowers his level and grabs the ankle, but rather than picking the leg up, he just blocks it from moving as drives his opponent backward and to the ground. He circles to side control, and has the option to finish the loop choke.Add to Favorites 1313 Remove From Favorites 1167 days ago
From side control, Masakazu places his elbow on the mat, in the far armpit of his opponent, and turns his hips up to the ceiling. He slides his hips up the body, bringing his opponent's arm up as well. His far arm comes underneath the head, and he grabs his biceps at his opponent's armpit, trapping the arm inside with the neck. He makes a grip like a rear naked choke, and squeezes to finish the choke.Add to Favorites 1119 Remove From Favorites 1178 days ago
From standing, Masakazu shoots on his opponent and takes him with one arm pushing at his stomach and the other pushing the back of the knee. He lands in side control and immediately scoots his hips up under his opponent's armpit. He slides his shin to his opponent's hip, and pinches the leg between his own leg. He controls the foot and turns away to finish the kneebar.Add to Favorites 626 Remove From Favorites 1218 days ago
On to one Xande's favorite submissions, he has a strong side control in the landmark 2 position with his hips facing his opponent's head. His arm reaches across the neck for a collar grip and he transitions to a neutral side control for better leverage. His free hand reaches underneath the near arm and now he can drop his elbow to finish the Saulo choke.Add to Favorites 510 Remove From Favorites 1309 days ago
Nick answers a few of his students' questions on some of the finer details of the bread cutter choke, and breaks down how he can close the space between him and his opponent and put a lot of pressure on him.Add to Favorites 506 Remove From Favorites 1310 days ago
Nick shows his version of the 'Saulo' choke or bread cutter choke from side control when his opponent shoots his arm across Nick's body. First he reaches under the arm to grab the gi near the armpit and pulls the shoulder to him, and then his choking hand comes across the neck to the far lapel. Now he can drop his elbow to the mat and drop his weight to choke his opponent.Add to Favorites 610 Remove From Favorites 1510 days ago
Now Rafael shows another option he sometimes uses to help finish the armbar if his opponent's grip on his lapel is really strong. He leans toward the leg and under hooks it to give himself leverage to keep inching his palm down his thigh until he can break the grip and secure the arm.Add to Favorites 681 Remove From Favorites 1511 days ago
Rafael answers a student's question about finishing an armbar when your opponent is defending by grabbing his own lapel. He first threads his arm near the head through and cups his own thigh. He walks his hand down to his hip, and with his other hand he can push the lapel or the elbow to break the grip and secure the armbar.Add to Favorites 644 Remove From Favorites 1710 days ago
Whether you're looking for the Kimura, straight armbar, choke or whatever else, Saulo stresses the importance of dropping your weight and keeping very heavy pressure on your opponent after spinning to the top and trapping the arm. After establishing your pressure from here, you will be able to find the opening you're looking for.Add to Favorites 746 Remove From Favorites 1713 days ago
Now instead of going to the mount from the superhold, Saulo looks to submit with an armlock. With a strong grip on his opponent's triceps, Saulo pulls him on his side and spins to the top, where he drops his weight heavy on his opponent. From here he has the option to attack a Kimura, or to continue his spin to the other side and attack the straight armbar.
