Mine is The Cross Armlock a.k.a. Juji - gatame I have also used many leg locks & Chokes But when i hit an armlock im like a Kid in a candy store
Inwards punch to the head. Finishes most things for me, if not then I'll usually just fold inwards to an elbow-strike/takedown before running.
anything i can do at the time to finish (not to worried) but i like to try and lock them up or just keep hitting them then lock them up. To be honest if their on the floor and i'm not i'm happy with what ever finish.

I do what I have to, to win. I dont say to myself: "Ok, this is gonna be the finishing strike". If he goes down, good...if not, well then you just keep on fighting,
Reverse Juji Gatame, not many people looking for it! Or ankle lock!!! I'm trying to get away from chokes/sleepers cause I use them to much and people expect me to go for them. Thanx
The Dragon Punch! Deadly! However, in reality, its either a roundhouse kick to the floating ribs, a jab and cross to the chin or a figure 4 arm lock!
I'm not sure I'm using the same definition of 'finishing technique' as others are. My definition means basically a killing or maiming technique or one that will cause sustained unconscious, ie. one that (if applied properly) will definitely finish the confrontation with no need for further 'input'. Therefore a cross to the jaw, for example, wouldn't be a finishing technique, although on a good day its entirely possible that such a technique could end the confrontation Likewise, I wouldn't regard a lock as a finishing technique, unless it was taken to the point of causing irrevocable joint damage. For instance, you're assaulted in the pub, you apply an arm-bar and take the person to the floor and restrain them there. All you've done is restrain them (until the police arrive). You are not yet able to release them and move on to the next aggressor, hence you haven't finished them. On the other hand, if you use the arm-bar to smash the assailant face first into the ground then apply sufficient pressure to the elbow to break it - I'd define that as a finishing technique. Mike
This is why I teach my guys that "Submission" is nothing more than a training tool to make our training safe. In reality we very seldom "submit" an opponent. As you rightly say - what then? If he "gives up" are we supposed to believe that he will not try to continue the fight if we let him go? I teach my guys to either choke the opponent unconscious or cause major joint damage i.e. break the elbow, knee, shoudler etc THEN have a discussion about the opponents willingness to continue the fight. My favourite finishing technique? A good head control followed by a relentless barrage of headbutts, knees & elbows.

"Using a toothpick to remove my opponents scrotal tissues from between my teeth!" Andy i just don't get it when r u joking...ROLFLMAO... best finishing technique award goes to Andy -TkdWarrior-
