18/8/16: catch wrestling grips, pad rounds and takedowns into submissions

Catch wrestling grips
Against the wrist - circle up and out against the thumb and control his wrist; 'chop' off and pull out and take control of his wrist.
Against the elbow - circling out and control his elbow; if the energy is forward, lap the wrist in the direction of the energy and control his elbow; inside pak sau and biu to the eyes to elbow control.
Against the bicep - thumb in and not around the bicep, push the bicep away to control. This then becomes a pummel as each person looks to dominate both biceps
Putting it all together and hating for head control whilst staying relaxed, feeling energy and pressure and not being physical at all...

Pad rounds
1: jab-jab-cross
2: cross-hook-cross
3: jab-cross-hook-cross
4: jab-cross-uppercut-hook
5: lead hook-rear hook-lead hook-cross

Takedowns into submissions

Against the jab: into #3 lock takedown - knee on head and chest control - folded arm wrist lock. Elbow into your best, his forearm is vertical, big fold and control on the wrist, lift to apply the submission. My wrists are made of paper so even thinking about this one has me tapping out. This image of Josh Barnett was similar except we were on the body behind him not over the head.

Against the jab-cross: split entry - elbow wrench (pull it into your chest, your forearms clasped tight to his, step back with the left and turn for the takedown - keep hold of the arm, it is perpendicular to his shoulder, bicep kneel and folded wrist lock (sandwich grip). Kneel right on the head of the muscle for maximum pain

Against the jab: split entry - left ear slap and right leg hook behind the knee takedown - scarf hold (get tight to the arm pit)- upward shoulder rotation using your leg. 3 possible ways to finish:
1 - extend your leg for an extending shoulder rotations.
2 - turn your hips for a crushing shoulder rotation
3 - lifting neck crank
KEEP EVERYTHING TIGHT AND STAY ON CONTROL

Two examples of death from scarf hold position.

Jack knife head and arm choke: If, when landing, his hands are linked to prevent arm attacks, pass the elbow for the head and arm choke. Turn belly down then lift the hips as you apply the squeeze for the submission
