Choke Chain (3) from side control

15 January 2009 2 Comments

This is a good chain of choke attacks from side control (and possible half guard top, if you are high up).

1: try for the guillotine first. Top arm loops under and around your opponents neck beneath you. If you can clasp your hands, roll to your back as you throw your top leg over your opponents body and “rock the baby” to finish. IF you cannot clasp your hands because they are fighting your hands, THEN

2: Punch your top arm under their top arm and under their neck to the Darst set up. gable grip your hands. Pull towards your hip to get their head close to you and your arm deeper. Grab your bicep with your bottom arm and their trap with your top arm. Post on your toes and elevate your forearm to crank the finish. (if you have ample pressure on their top trapped arm, you will get the choke, otherwise, it’s a crank.) IF they know your Darst intentions and won’t let you punch through, Then go for the armless Darst Choke.

3: Instead of punching under, just slide your am under thier neck, but not too deep, your elbow should not be under their neck, but your forearm should. Lock up the Darst grip (bicep, top hand is on top of the front of their shoulder this time though. ) Critical detail: now slide your own shoulder down so that it is on top of their neck, and curl your bicep to get the choke. You are basically doind a curl with their neck between your forearm and your bicep.

Happy Chokin’

    Word on the street is that you can transition to the monson choke if they stay flat on their back, or the anaconda if they suceed at getting to their knees.
