your opponent’s head, you

pretty much control your

opponent’s whole body!”

Chokes and Neck Cranks

A chokehold’s purpose is to cut off your opponents air supply which

causes him to give up (submit) or pass out. Where some neck

cranks can reduce the air supply, they are primarily a joint lock

because they work to hyperextend the neck region.

I really like neck cranks. I use them all the time during my sparring

sessions just to annoy my opponent and make him uncomfortable.

If you neck crank somebody, he can’t breath freely and that will

mess with his head.

With gloves it is difficult to get somebody in a rear naked choke IF

he knows how to defend a rear naked choke. So then maybe a

neck crank would be good (see the Bas Rutten exorcist move—

I am really proud of that one).

Side chokes and triangle chokes are beautiful and very effective

also. Like in every submission move, the most important thing is to

set your opponent up the right way in order to get the submission.

Creating distractions and making him think you are going for one

move and then suddenly explode into a completely different direc-

tion is what I am talking about. Or let him make a mistake and take

advantage of that by getting him in a choke. Setups are an integral

part of grappling because nowadays nobody will lay there and just

let you get him in a submission.

Also good to learn is combinations: if one move doesn’t work and

he defends a certain way, go right away over to a different move.

It is like striking. Punching to the head won’t set him up for a body

shot? Maybe a punching combination to his head will do the trick.

Play with it.

I will now reiterate a point I made in the opening of this volume.

This is a drill that you will thank me for someday. Your partner takes

your back and tries to choke you for 2 minutes, then you change

and you do the same thing with him. Do this for 30 minutes at a

time, once a week and it will be VERY difficult for your future oppo-

nents to choke you, I promise you.

With all the techniques in this chapter (and the whole book in gen-

eral) it is VERY important to know how to defend against them. So

learn defense too, not just how to apply the technique offensively.

Even if you don’t know how, just watch the pictures. I will show you

a number of good ways to stay out of trouble. You will see that

there ARE things that you can try if someone puts a triangle choke

on you. TRY, I say, because some things don’t always work if your

opponent applies his weapons perfectly. But if you don’t try, you will

never succeed. In Holland we have this saying: ”If you don’t shoot,

you always miss”. I like that saying. Always try, it is the least that

you can do. If you don’t, you always miss.
