Gun Show Control: submission or control question

Awesome. Working both these this morning.

I def need to work the flexibility for Hindu but that Gun Show is legit right away. Pretty uncomfortable to be in (receiving the gun show control) and the Dead Orchard is super easy to set up.

Btw, it looks as though the leg behind the neck is a perfect structure to use as a means to do a nogi cross collar choke from gun show, which is good if they turn their head away, just like in datch gi.

Make sure you are really coming over top the knee with your elbow and sitting up into it before threading back around to put it in for the hindu control. The hindu control shouldn't test your flexibility too much if you're angling right. It does however seem to be a position guys with shorter limbs have a hard time with.

Yea, I feel the gun show is just a lot more control in that position compared to meathook or going dead orchard straight from mission control. Compared to mission control you have your right arm free and compared to meathook the guy is locked in place so he can't omo roll out or try and smash pass through.

I figured that out tonight as I was working it. It was all about hitting the right angle. I have pretty lanky arms so once I did it properly it thread right through. I still need to get reps on the Hindulotine though. Im not getting something right on the choke

Perhaps that's why I'm having a hard time with Hindu. Short arms.

Bump.

Who's using this now?

Bad ass video Ben! And thanks for the heads up Brent!

I love adding new pieces to the puzzle, even if they are not my got to stuff right away. :)

Will definitely be playing around with gun show control.
