Creative warm up led by Joe including some partner body work drills such as piggy back squats, calf raises and torturous squats to jumping knee repetitions.
Head control into inner forearm choke. Worked on this section with Joe who rightly chastised me on my first go as the gap between my torso and his was cavernous. So with head control (primary grip) and with the tricep (secondary grip), feet inside his base I put the wrong arm into the choke. What again Joe pulled me up on was to use the secondary grip to use as the choking arm. I assume as this maintains better control of the opponent. In securing the choke from standing we take a both palms facing the torso grip at the wrists and stack the top forearm over his shoulder and onto his back and move your shoulder, arm under neck side, towards the wrist to close the choke.
Defence against inner forearm choke: first job is to look up and get the spine positive and drive up. Failing that, turn your face towards him. As Lee put it, “Sniff his side”. This releases the neck slightly and will mean he will need to go to option B, details to follow. As the head turns to face him, drop your level and try to take side control and snake the front arm behind his knee. From here you can lift quite effortlessly and spin into a slamming takedown. Now if you are the attacker and he defends with the above head turn then keep turning with him, release the top hand so that it comes under as if to make an isosceles triangle. Lee made reference to this is how Machida was finished on his feet by Jon Jones earlier this year. I have made reference to this in a previous post as Rogan called this a power guillotine. Getting the elbows together really closes the choke off quickly and painfully
