Knee On Belly

KOB has been my go to from side control for a long time. Even if guys defend it just keep going back to it. It sucks the life out of them. Its like a video game, everytime they defend and you just go right back to it you can see the energy meter in their eyes keep dropping. Eventually what was perfect defense the first few times becomes sloppy as the panic sets in and they cant breath:)

I got finished in the pro tourney at Kakuto with a baseball bat choke. They work great no Gi :)

Just like everything else, there's a couple of make or break details that'll make you a believer.

Jared Weiner has the best set out yet that Ive seen. Operation Knee On Belly

That's the right way to think about it! Use it to surf and suck the will to continue from your opponent.

Remember that it's a dynamic position rather than a static one and your control here will improve dramatically.

I have found higher success using just my pointer and middle finger on both hands because you can get your elbows much closer together. Ive heard it referred to as "paper cutter".

I can vouch for this.. at least a few times a night..

Sitting on my couch trying to figure out how to do it with just those fingers!! I can finish the choke no problem, if I get that far. With the gi collar you can go slower to the choke. Now without the gi it just seems like I telegraph it to much, and unless the person is a noob, they can duck out. I also don't have a next move in line and always seem to lose position. Seems you really have to go for it no gi. In recent days I have really cut down on things that I can't string together or things that I really lose position if they fail. so many things to perfect so little time.
