wdyt???
The finger snapping is cool. I was starting to not pay attention but he brought me back with the snap.
I personally think he overcomplicates a simple move.
Cool video. Three details that help me a lot:
1. When I'm sliding my choking arm into place, I keep my elbow in and tight to their neck as I slide my arm across their neck and get my hand in place. Otherwise he can hook his left hand under my left armpit and start sliding himself north/south to neutralize the choke.
2. When I lock the choke in place, I sprawl my left leg back to put my bodyweight into the choke. (if they are turning their head to the ground I will use my left knee to push the side of their face so that they are facing upwards again so I can lock the choke in place)
3. Once the choke is finally locked in and everything is done. I will drop my left elbow to the ground and start sliding my elbow up towards the top of their head in an arc. This helps tighten the choke.
Hope that helps some!
lol "nerves dont fire"? wth?
lol at people that roll in socks.
The set up. I'll have to try it, though. The submission itself is one of my favorites and I do it a bit differently, but I may be missing the benefit of the set up so I'll try it out.
I don't think that is an especially good set up.
Then again, I don't know a lot about neurology.
I luv this choke...It's very similar to the way I do it. I'd set up the choking hand a little earlier though...while your still N/S.
To be honest, I don't even worry too much about the trapped arm. There's always something to do..either shoulder lock it or KOB to mount.
That arm movement at the beginning is a great way to get mount too...so you have a choice...but I wouldn't bring my hip and leg back...stay up high.
Seemed to pass several other submissions on the way however I understand the focus was on the papercutter choke.
It is because of a good set-up that very good guys are caught with the simple moves.
One of the best ways to catch a person with a submission is to set them up with one technique only to catch them with another.
It may be true that he had other submission options but that what makes this setup all the more a good one. Heck, he could even color this setup with the other submission options.
best underhook lapel choke vid there is.
flat out.

i will try that other setup though. i love the papercutter. it is meat and potatoes.
He talks too much.

Spoken with true redundancy!
I actually like that variation and thought he taught it well. It may not be a black belt level move, but you could definitely catch some lower guys with it. The isolation of the arm is what I liked about it most I guess.
he reminds me of brandon quick.
and at high levels, no one is a wet cloth in side control.
if anyone ever needs to understand the difference between good and mediocre bjj instruction (or why they should train with a bb), show them the first video, then show them the rener video.
I like to set up that choke from the double under stack pass.

Agree with this & the general attitude of the thread. Blue belt dude is spending way too much time & effort isolating the arm & opening himself up to get swept or otherwise lose the sub like a half dozen times. Keep it simple.
i don't know why people feel the need to shit on the blue belt. he's instructing like a blue belt. big deal. he's enthusiastic about it and im sure it has some validity.
I don't think anyone here shit on the guy except maybe for cuo. The OP wanted to know what we thought of the technique & THAT'S what we shit on.
