Collar Tie Setup and Takedown Defense

Coach Zahabi establishes a collar tie with an underhook, positioning himself to defend against an incoming takedown. The opponent shoots for a high crotch or fireman's carry, prompting the coach to immediately implement defensive counters.

Thigh Pry Technique and Finger Protection

When defending against a takedown, the thigh pry is executed by placing a closed fist on the opponent's thigh to create separation. This technique is critical for preventing guard pulls, butterfly sweeps, and half guard transitions while protecting the fingers from injury on the mat.

Truck Transition to Octopus and Mount Control

From the thigh pry position, Coach Zahabi transitions through a truck attempt before pivoting to an octopus grip with a body lock. This progression demonstrates efficient weight distribution and positional control leading to a dominant mounted position.

Guillotine Finishing Mechanics

The guillotine choke is executed by compressing the opponent's chin downward toward their chest, maximizing pressure on the carotid arteries. This focal point—chin-to-chest connection—is emphasized as the most critical element for consistent submissions.

Uki-Goshi with Single Hip Placement

Coach Zahabi demonstrates the uki-goshi hip throw by inserting only one hip between the opponent's legs, rather than both hips as in o-goshi. Single-hip placement increases speed, improves scoring potential, and significantly reduces vulnerability to counter-attacks.

Sumigeshi Counter to Hand Separation

When defending against guillotine attacks, opponents often attempt hand separation by arching their back. This arched position creates the ideal setup for sumigeshi, exploiting their compromised posture for a high-percentage takedown with minimal energy expenditure.

Guillotine to Darce Transition

The transition from guillotine to Darce choke occurs when the opponent rotates onto their side, making guillotine compression difficult. The Darce provides superior finishing leverage in lateral positions and represents intelligent adaptation during live rolling.

Spearing Double Leg with Head Placement

The spearing double leg is initiated with a sharp level change, driving the head directly into the opponent's chest. This entry method effectively prevents guillotine counter-attacks while building neck strength through progressive conditioning and drilling.

No scientific evidence has linked the source of Covid-19 primarily to gyms who act responsibly. Yet, gyms have been scapegoated and regarded as unimportant and unessential. Malls, subways, schools and other high traffic organizations are still up and running. Yet, none of these organizations are as essential to health as diet and exercise. Fitness is our right! We should be allowed to train within strategically thought out Covid precautions over being totally shutdown which can prove to be worse for our physical and mental health. Many gyms around the world, and especially in the USA, are nearly fully open. Physically fit people are less susceptible to the dangers of any disease. We have the right to stay physically fit. Please join our site in efforts to organize gyms in all of Quebec to help us stay open while conforming to Covid mandates and keeping athletes both safe and fit. Gyms and small businesses have quickly been going bankrupt. Owners and employees losing their income and unable to sustain a living is no way to win a fight against Covid. Rather our aim is to implement scientifically based strategies that accord with the law while allowing us to prevent Covid and practice our right to be fit.
