So, as long as you're not closing your hand you can rape choke? Hmmmmmmmm
yeah, that what the rape choke is, basically posting your open hand on the throat but you cant squeeze.
Got it last night. It's a great addition to the RG, takes a lot of practicing, many levels to it's mastery
This is quite possibly my favorite post ever.
The gag reflex isn't so different from a very common fist choke from mount where you just ram a first into a person's throat from the side and bring the opposite forearm under the neck to support the "choking" arm. I think it's probably the first thing I learned a while back when I started in gi, and the guy held his own sleeve to secure the grip/submission.
It's a dick move but it's still technically a blood choke because you are aiming for the carotid artery. The beauty of the gag reflex is that, in conjunction with a submission like the triangle and a stubborn opponent, it's an additional arsenal you can use to finish the fight.
Literally used this last night, my opponent responded the exact way Einstein said he would and I transitioned like he said to do at the right time and TAP! I was like yeah dude I learned that on Saturday.... haha
and the path from lockdown, was hitting it over n over. loved the workshop, definitely got to apply everything quickly
I like hitting it from the n/s kimura if they are defending the armlock with a kung-fu death grip.
