    Got caught with something like this I think (no gi though):
    Never seen it done from N/S position before but I didn't realise it was on till it was too late.

    Only really píssed off I didn't get more fights. I knew I wasn't going to be the all out winner but thought if I get maybe 5 fights and win 2 or 3 of those I'd be happy.

    The fact that its nogi makes it even more wierd


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    I've done the choke from mount and guard a few times -you set it up like you would a RNC:
    Put your arm behind their head,
    Grab your bicep,
    Put your forearm across their throat and grab your other forearm (if that makes sense).
    But never from the bottom of N/S position.

    Ah well you live and learn :)

    I have nogi tonight so i am going to allow someone to go n/s on me and im gonna try this esekiel type choke.

    Yep, live and learn. Once you get caught by it once, it'll never happen again.

    Give it a go from mount I find it works well from here - I haven't got a clue how it was even setup TBH and didn't record the fight. I think it was setup when I had him in side mount.
    If you're doing it from mount, keep low so you're not bridged off.
    If you can't reach your top hand over their neck to grab your other forearm, you can make a fist and use your chin to push your fist / forearm into their throat - you'll get em then :)

    I got this tonight from mount and also sunk in a nice n/s choke. Tried a few variations from bottom too and got crushed :pac:

    Sunday 12/07/09:
    Diet alright ate some junk food Sat & Sun and had a few beers Fri & Sat but didn't do the dog on it at all.

    Training:
    Run approx 50 mins.
    lots of hills.

    Summary:
    Found a nice area for a run, right beside my usual short run, has a fairly steep incline which seems to go on forever.
    Knee held up alright this time. It's been getting sore everytime I go for a run, after 30 mins I won't be able to continue and usually end up limping home.
    Was a bit sore but I think that may be down to all the leg kicks on Wed & Fri.
