after a week off on vacation, i came back to class at lunchtime today to greet the new instructor, neiman gracie. he taught basics today which is always good for me.
from the mount, he showed how to threaten the choke and the arm bar simultaneously. From the mount, i open uke's right lapel with my left hand. i then form a line and use my right hand to travel all the way deep behind uke's neck. i then control uke's right elbow with my chest, forcing it across uke's chest. i then move to the technical mount by placing my left knee by uke's ear while continueing to sit on his chest. i curl my right foot across uke's shoulder so that uke does not use his left arm to reach under my foot. i then threaten to choke by inserting my right thumb under uke's far collar. the choke requires me to place my head on the floor along side my helping hand. i also threaten the arm bar which requires me to place my left leg over uke's head and fall back.
this video is identical to what was taught in class except he does not place his head on the floor to finish the choke as i was taught. also, the way he initially inserts his hand to start the choke is different.
