The crossface cradle from side control combines a crossface forearm drive with a cradle leg hook to fold the opponent in half, generating extreme cervical flexion stress. [1] The attacker drives the c...
Chokes and strangles are submission techniques that restrict either blood flow (strangles) or airflow (chokes) to force a tap out or render an opponent unconscious. [6] The distinction between a choke...
