Attacking the Turtle Position - Leg Squeeze Lock Version 2

As promised here is another way for you to get to the leg squeeze lock.

This time we have broken open the turtle position and have gone for a hooks in rear mount. Maybe we have tried to get a collar choke, rear naked choke… and it’s just not working. Well with this we can switch to a leg lock which is harder to defend since we have out hooks in.

Here are the other videos if you missed them:

Attacking the Turtle Position... Leg squeeze lock

Today let’s take a look at another way of breaking down and attacking the turtle position. As I said before I’m not a big fan of this position in grappling and it’s downright stupid in a self-defence situation. I won’t even teach it to my students, except what they need to know to as a training partner.

Last time we broke down the turtle position, rolled them and then applied a choke to finish. You can see it again here ATTACKING THE TURTLE V1.

This time we are going to breakdown and control the position, isolate a leg and finish with a leg squeeze lock. Check it out.

==>Attacking the turtle – leg squeeze lock<==

Next week I will show you another entry into this technique.

Ouchi Gari Throw Not Working... Try These Follow-ups!

Let’s continue with our looking at follow-up or chaining techniques together. We have been through a number of techniques now so you know what this segment is all about, mainly what to do if your first technique doesn’t work.

There are lots of reasons why a technique may not work, it was done poorly, the attacker moved in a way you didn’t anticipate, the softening strikes didn’t work… In the case of the inside hock or ouchi gari throw, you fail to get them back on their heels and their leg just doesn’t move.

Here are some possible follow up ideas:

Knee groin and continue with inside hock
Knee groin change to guillotine to outside hock to finish.
Grab lapel, push and switch to lapel shoulder throw.
Knee groin, hammer lock.

==>Inside Hock Follow-ups<==

Note that sometimes in a failed technique we can go directly to another technique and other times it’s beneficial to add another softening strike. The point is to always keep your attacker off balance both literally and metaphorically. If their trying to defend what you’re doing or recovering from a strike it’s very hard for them to attack.

Now there are many options these are just a few, think about what techniques you would go it and tray them out.

Check out some of our past follow up videos:

REAR HAIR GRAB

WRIST LOCK

Quick AND Effective Choke from Scarf Hold

Today let’s look at a nice, and quick, choke from the scarf hold position or kesa gatami. What makes this technique work so well is the reliably little amount of movement required to pull it off. I particularly nice setup for this choke is to wait until your opponent tries to work their arm free. As they pull their arm out they are focusing almost entirely on the escape allowing you to slip your arm across and apply the choke.

If scarf hold is one of your favourite positions like me then you should also check out this attack from a previous weekly blog posting, SCARF HOLD ARM LOCK.
