The first one looks good, but I wonder about the likelyhood of a guillotine or side-choke by the opponent as you take the back. I am guessing you have to throw his arm away while you have wrist control before you attempt to take the back? I am really paranoid about protecting my neck. _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin

The pulling, offsetting, moving, shifting, etc. During this technique, a guillotine or side choke is not likely. _________________________ www.brazilianjiujitsunaples.com

Mu Ryuk Enthusiast Registered: 06/23/04 Posts: 587 Loc: California, U.S.A.	I love the arm drag. If you are powerful and explosive, it's almost unstoppable. I went to a BJJ class a while ago (hopefully I'll be going there twice a week once my ankle heals up), and the Instructor kept getting me with it over and over. He eventually taught me how to counter it (though to be totally honest, I can't remember right now). _________________________ Train hard or don't bother.

He makes other world class grapplers look like they have never seen it before. _________________________ www.brazilianjiujitsunaples.com

Use it the same way and swoop around and take the back. It can be done from the bottom of the guard too. Followed with a kick out reversal, it looks oh so good. _________________________ patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
