A real mix of influences from Chris Haueter, Marcelo Garcia, Judo and traditional Jiu Jitsu.
Elbow Crush
1. Pop up to knee ride; underhook the far arm as though you are going to spin to the far arm bar. Everyone knows this so will be waiting for the transition to escape.
2. Straighten the arm out for the elbow crush and step your left leg over their head then sit back and finalise.
Shoulder Lock
1. Pop up to knee ride; underhook the far arm as though you are going to spin to the far arm bar. Everyone knows this so will be waiting for the transition to escape.
2. You try to straighten the arm out for the elbow crush but you find you can’t straighten their arm out. Gable grip your hands together and still sit back.
3. Pull the arm into your body and using your full rotational force, not just arms, turn anti-clockwise to finish the shoulder lock.
4. Switch arms to traditional kimura if you need to.
Straight Arm Lock
1. Pop up to knee ride; underhook the far arm as though you are going to spin to the far arm bar. Your opponent frames against your left knee/grabs your gi pants so you can’t step over their head.
2. Keep your position but reach down with your left hand to lift their right arm up under your armpit and clamp down hard with your elbow to your ribs.
3. Slide your shin into their armpit as far as you can and sit back. Immediately throw your left leg over their face to finalise.
Important details with description below
Elbow Crush Details:
Clip 1 - If they try to escape the arm when you have knee ride catch it between the side of your head and shoulder.
Clip 2 – Don’t try to ‘choke’ or gable grip the elbow, the opponent can rotate the arm and escape.
Clip 3 - Use your hands to cup the elbow instead so they can’t rotate the arm out, cupping gives better control until you get to the point of no return.
Clip 4 - Don’t lay back with the arm or you will lose it and not make sufficient leverage to finalise.
Clip 5 – Stay sat up and as you pull the elbow in towards you, slightly crunch your top half forward. Make it a full body move rather than an arms move.
Clip 6 – If you feel off balance, shuffle yo’ ass back a little while keeping control of the elbow. You will find the sweet spot easier with repetition.
Shoulder Lock Details
Clip 7 – VERY IMPORTANT!! Learn how to efficiently break the grip. A lot of people seem to try to strength the grip break (God knows enough people have tried it on me) but you need some science with your strength. From my old traditional martial arts days you always tried to ensure you are trying to break towards the weak part of the grip, the path of least resistance.
If the opponent has a standard grip then you should always pull in the direction the knuckles are facing. In this clip Helen pulls the hand towards her as the knuckles are facing that way.
Clip 8 – If switching to a standard kimura, make sure you do not lose control of the arm. Common sense really but worth mentioning.
Clip 9 – You can come up to control opponent’s head to finish off the kimura but again look at how the grip has to be broken.
Arm Lock Details:
Clip 10 – When your opponent braces against your leg to stop you stepping over, pull their arm up at the elbow, the weakest part of their arm. Slide your shin as hard as you can into their arm pit, you will need it shortly.
Clip 11 – Driving the shin into the arm pit will stop them getting up or at least severely hamper their attempts at getting up. The leg is very important and must be driven hard into the armpit. Can’t stress this too much.
Clip 12 – If your pressure is not enough or if you lean back too much, you can get rolled.
If you do get rolled, keep the same structure and throw your left leg over their face to finalise from your back.
