So I've been watching vids of our brothers in action and I notice this technique that I don't know the name of. I see Elon going for it all the time, even putting a guy to sleep with it. Then today I saw Nathan going for it also. Its like you putting a guy in arm triangle while putting them in the lockdown. What is the name of that move so I can see the detailed tech behind it? Thank you and have a great day.
The Apollo choke
Thanks buddy. I think this is a sweet technique to have in the tool box...:)
Watch Kevin Gibbs match in the 10p East Coast finals, he uses it for the finish and has a really nice set up (I think its in one of the latest MTS videos). Its in essence an arm triangle using a different grip.
It's broken down very well in Eddie's first book, Jiu Jitsu Unleashed.
The apollo is mad legit, I've tapped quite a few high level guys with it over the years, dudes that were clearly better than me even. You must focus on developing a death squeeze tho and it's almost impossible without the lockdown in my experience with it for 15 plus years :)
