Back Control and Chokes

nieman gracie instructing as daniel is still in puerto rico. we continue to focus on basics, which is great for me. today we worked on finishing an opponent once we have back control. this is a big problem for me. uke always manages to get my hook out and escape by getting his back to the ground. i reviewed galvao's back control dvd after the class - am going to try his technique next time.

separately, neiman did some excellent work describing which hand chokes. the key here is that i want to use the hand that will make uke choke himself if he turns into me to escape. best shown in the video below. the first choke taught to me is the second choke taught on this video.



the second choke taught to me today was the rear naked. i like this video because the shoulder push seems like a good detail to add to the arsenal.
