BELLATOR INVERTED ANACONDA CHOKE HOW TO
BELLATOR INVERTED ANACONDA CHOKE FULL

(If anyone knows the name of this submission, let us know in the comments!) The person who posted the video calls the move a “Behind-the-back bonanza choke.” While it seems a fitting name, and is rather humorous, I don’t think that’s correct. I went for a double under pass and somehow got my legs around my partner’s arms similar to Marcelo, then stacked my partner up onto his shoulders and squeezed my legs together.

At 6:35 in this video, Marcelo uses a submission which can best be described as “a full nelson using your legs.” I actually used a variation of this after I saw it and it worked. His wrestling style is rather unorthodox, and interesting to watch. If you don’t know about Ben, he’s a wrestler with moves like you’ve never seen. Here, Marcelo is rolling with Bellator MMA welterweight champ Ben Askren (who recently left Bellator. At least, I don’t, and I’ve scoured the internet trying to identify it. This move is so sick, people don’t even know what to call it. What it boils down to is a collar choke of some sort, but if you use this, your opponent won’t know what choked him. There’s a lot going on in this technique, and I’m not even sure what to compare it to. True to its name, this submission is nuts. This is a great omoplata variation attack from mount, taught by Barata himself. I heard he doesn’t even like to call it that. Here’s Ryron and Rener Gracie breaking it down.Īnd here’s the fight they were breaking down. This submission is categorized as a spinal lock. Here’s Nick Diaz demonstrating it on his brother Nate.Īnd here’s him using it in a a fight against Takanori Gomi. It’s sneaky, and even if you mess it up, the omoplata is waiting for you like a pre-wrapped birthday present. Make all the go go gadget jokes you want, this technique is no joke.

Here’s Keenan himself showing us how to do it. Truthfully, the only reason it’s on the list is because Keenan Cornelius used it at the BJJ Expo to submit Lucas Leite in that photo finish. I know I said submissions you don’t see everyday, but it doesn’t get much cooler than this. The armbar from the 2013 world jiu-jitsu expo It’s similar to the Brabo or Anaconda, but you sit through to guard in this one, and create some serious leverage. This one’s good if you’ve got your opponent in turtle, but he’s grabbing on to one of your legs. I like the electric chair position because there’s a submission as well as a sweep you can hit. These two moves are a bit different from each other, but both attack the groin area – let’s see ol’ Rubber Legs get outta this one with his flexibility. I could really go for some ice cream right now. Here’s Rafael Mendes teaching it in his beautiful academy. It’s almost like a baseball choke from turtle position. The clock choke is another effective weapon when your partner is turtled up, and they’re not letting you back mount them. Not inverted triangle.) Here’s a nice video from Stephan Kesting demonstrating both, and explaining the difference between the two. (Think triangle, and reverse triangle, where you switch the legs. They are similar, but an Anaconda is a reverse D’Arce and vice-versa. They’re essentially inverted arm triangle variations, and very effective when your opponent is in the turtle position. If you want some submissions you don’t see everyday, and maybe even add some new tools to your arsenal, you’re in the right place. Since there are so many, I whittled the list down to ten uncommon, wicked awesome submissions. To mix things up, I decided to compile a list of submissions we don’t see everyday.

It’s impossible to know them all, let alone use them all. There are hundreds of submissions in jiu-jitsu, and each of those has numerous variations, leading to thousands of possibilities. Until you reach the higher belts, almost everyone uses the same basic submissions – armbars, triangles, Kimuras & Americanas, some variety or collar chokes, RNCs (rear naked chokes) & guillotines, and the occasional leg lock.

Unless you are a brown or black belt, or constantly train with a lot of brown or black belts, then chances are you aren’t exposed to that many submissions. Having sleeping problems? The Peruvian Necktie might help.
