Favorite Move

[BigD]

What is your favorite submission? (Can't believe this wasn't already made!)

Mine is armbar from back mount, because it is the only "slick" move I can do with some success.

I also like the Ezekial Choke.

[Tom Gavrilos]

Everyone knows mine is the Flying arm bar! :D

[Eric?!]

Guillotine...?!

[CSW13]

As funny as this sounds, I love the head and arm choke but from the guard. No one ever seems to be expecting it..

[motoevo]

Rolling Knee bar

[Tom Gavrilos]

Triangle Choke from Mount is right up there too!
Rolling knee bar from a big asian scares me!:eek:

[motoevo]

LOL thats why its fun LMAO

[Ryan]

Guillotine is almost always there but overused. Its one of those things people try to do as a defense to pulling guard. It may not even be there but people grab the head anyway. Are they hoping it shows up or is it just a momentary distraction while they figure out what to do next?

Also, why is the can opener never used anymore?

My fav sub? Its tough but I really like the Kimura. Its easy and the second most "available" in my opinion.

[BigD]

Ryan, I think the can opener is not used very much because it is has a bad rep:
1.) It is a meat-head muscle move
2.) It is considered cheap
3.) It is a neck-crank

Maybe it is just the guys I train with, but they despise the move, my instructor is very quick to give me a thai kick when I use it, as he hates it too.

Also, I find that going for it on anyone over a blue belt will often get me in trouble, i.e. arm-barred or triangled.

Tom - Damn you and your slick-jitsu...lol. Flying armbars are extremely badass, I doubt I'll ever go for one though, I'm not very agile :).

[Dondo]

No doubt about it, HAS TO BE a Gogoplata!!! See: Aoki on Hansen and Diaz on Gomi! a masterpiece indeed, and very rare. i do dig the head and arm choke from the mount too.

[Ryan]

Tom - Damn you and your slick-jitsu...lol. Flying armbars are extremely badass, I doubt I'll ever go for one though, I'm not very agile :).

I would end up drop kicking the guy if I tried it

[Tom Gavrilos]

i do dig the head and arm choke from the mount too.
Gotta finish that in Side Control Dondo you know that you are good at Head and Arms!:)

I forgot about the GoGo good one that was sick that he put it on Gomi even if Gomi was checked out upstairs! Too bad he didn't get to keep the best win of his career over some weed.

[Dondo]

Tommy Boy...i know side control is the way to go on the head and arm (as Kampmann pulled on McFedries recently, to perfection), BUT i pulled it off on Friday during free roll from the mount. i just buried my head on the side of his head and propped that arm up in there, and sure as hell he was going out and tapped. wasn't as if he was some black belt or anything, but it came pretty easy once i stretched him a bit. side control IS the preferred methind though, that's for sure!

[Tom Gavrilos]

I guess it could be done. But putting yor hand over your ear is a very easy defense from the mount angle but I guess if you don't know the defense...

Were you rolling at The Lab?

[Eric?!]

Guillotine...?!

I'm all about keeping it simple so like to use what I stated above and the Rear Naked as well?!

[santino]

Tom,

You will have to come in to the gym and show me how to hit that armbar someday.

[Tom Gavrilos]

Santino!!!

Nice to see you made it onto the board!



You will have to come in to the gym and show me how to hit that armbar someday.

You will never live that fan boy article down no matter how big ya get ;)
I have about as much of a chance hiting a flying arm bar on you as I do becoming an astraunaught but it made for a great cover!

[Ryan]

Tom, I think you and Santino need to get together and film a Santino vs Tom ADCC type match. Put it on YouTube and then link it up in here so we can all see it.


Whos with me?:cool:

[Dondo]

i like my buddy Tom too much to see him go through that. Tom would be the first to tell you that may not be a wise career move...they don't call Santino, "The Italian Job" for nothing, hehehe! Sorry Santino, had to throw that one in there!

[Tom Gavrilos]

Tom, I think you and Santino need to get together and film a Santino vs Tom ADCC type match. Put it on YouTube and then link it up in here so we can all see it.

I'd be happy to roll with Santino but being that he was invited to the Abu Dhabi North American I think it would be safer I make a go at someone else!
I have a grade 1 separation on my shoulder and Santino is simply a better grappler than I am. He has countless tourney titles and and a Pro Record of 13 fights with 10 if them wins I believe all 10 of those by submission!

He is also the person who trained me MMA full time (as in no job just training daily) for almost an entire year as we were prepping for my Pro Debut.
He knows all my setups etc....

Im all for Santino making instructional clips but he is so busy lately!


I am up for making a video about the basics and include some grappling myself no problem at all!
Dondo do you have a Video Camera?

[Dondo]

i'm down for whatever Tom, i'll always be your guinea pig, ready to tap at will! i'll be there anytime...that is unless Bas is ready for me to stand in on his next Bar Fighting Self Defense video- "INNN THEEE LIVVVVERRRR!!!!" and "DANGITY DANGITY DANG"

[Dondo]

...and i almost forgot..."YOU INSULT MY WIFE, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK YOUR LEG"

[Tom Gavrilos]

Do you have a video camera?
Im going to have to go post that BAS Clip up in the Media Center :D

[Fox1s2]

I'd love to roll with you guys....but unless i get a flight to the West, i doubt thats gonna happen....

Favorite move: Triangle choke form the Guard....Simple and effective
2nd is the Kimura fromt eh guard of the Humiliation choke...those work well too.

[motoevo]

Just remembered the rolling knee bar is called victor's throw. thought i threw it out there

[Tom Gavrilos]

You guys still down to roll starting round June 5th?

[Roger]

I tend to use the americana from the mount and have pulled it off even in the guard. If in the guard I stack the person I also put my arm around the head instead of on the side, reason being it prevents the person from straightening the arm out.

[Ari Bolden]

1) Crucifix
2) Twister
3) The Straight Jacket

[Billy88]

rear naked chock

[Nyquil]

Triangle choke, the only submission i have on my 14-4 record haha

[Big_Matt]

Mines got to be any kind of Heel Hook

[The Mighty Warhorse]

(1. Triangle Choke
(2. Armbar from mount

[Sankaku]

Kata-gatame-jime ( scarf hold arm triangle choke)

[ijj24]

I guess it could be done. But putting yor hand over your ear is a very easy defense from the mount angle but I guess if you don't know the defense...

If someone does that you just put your forehead in their elbow and pull their wrist towards your chest for a shoulder/elbow crank.
Anyway, my favorite moves are-
1)Crucifix
2)Omoplata
3)Twister

I'd like the gogoplata a lot, but my knees are too messed up to get it without hurting them.:(

[Rangemaster]

when nailed spot on, Kesa Gatame without doubt on the ground. standing Hiji Kodaki (elbow lock) is one of the most painfull I know of .:)

[VerticalX]

Two favorites are Anaconda Choke and Arm Triangle from the mount.

[Hadaka Jime]

Classic Rear Naked choke from back control, it was the first technique i learned and it's like the twister for eddie bravo with me... i didn't make it famous but i got very good at using it

[disciple46]

rear naked choke or triangle!

[Dante]

My favorite move is a roundhouse to the head and their knees crumbling from under them, ala Gonzaga, or is that not the thread for that.
haha
