Back Attacks - Handfighting Strategy

Detailed Instructions:

• Start with giving the class a quick review on RNC mechanics, focusing on carotid coverage with choking arm and proper positioning of elbow on support arm to ensure good choking posture. Work from having fallen to both choking arm side and underhook side.

• Demonstrate which of defender’s hands could truly stop the choking arm from getting in position, and show the Alan Sanchez grip break for when this hand is making a play to control your choking arm.

• Show basic 2:1 escape to choking arm side often seen in MMA and taught for many years in jiu jitsu. Then demonstrate how it is an easy setup for the kimura-style armbar famously put on Gordon Ryan by Craig Jones in EBI.

• Demonstrate the DDS Straightjacket system, run from falling to the underhook side and engaging in cross grips
