What is your favorite submissions/chokes to use? My favorites are the gullotine choke, the armbar, and the good ol headlock/choke.
I don't know any yet except for rear naked choke, guillotine and one armbar. Do they have chokes in hapkido?
my favourites are armbar, RNC, triangle choke. I dont know how to do flying armbar/triangle yet, but those look pretty fun/impressive
I'm a big fan of the achillies lock, americana/ keylock, various gi chokes, the omoplata and the RNC/ body triangle combo. I like the armbar and triangle choke from guard as well, but most of the guys I train with are better at defending them than I am a putting them on
i love the triangle. it can pulled of from the mount, the back, the guard, the half-guard, even standing and in so many ways. also it provides a great position for moving the opponent almost at will once it is sunken in, i.e. reversals. plus it's always easy to transiton into an armbar from the triangle.
My favorites are in this order: flying armbar, armbar from the mount, armbar from the guard, cross-collar gi choke, guillotine, and rear-naked. In order of what I actually pull off: armbar from the mount, armbar from guard, sankaku jime (triangle), ude garami, flying armbar, rear-naked, cross collar, and guillotine. I'm not a big fan of chokes, you see.
If you can, hunt down a copy of Jutaro Nakao v Sauli Heilimo (7-13-2003, Shooto at Korakuen hall). The slickest reverse triangle I have ever seen, used to counter a leg shot.
Keylock with the arm trapped under my leg from kesa. I also like heelhooks but I'm horrible at leg locks. The submissions I try the most are probably armbars, rear naked chokes, triangles, and guillotines. I'm much smaller than everyone I train with so I'm on my back a lot, but nothing is more satisfying than that shoulder lock from kesa.
Side Headlock (Kata Gatame), Rear Naked Choke (Hadaka Jime), Front Naked Headlock (Mae hadaka jime) aka. Teh Guillotine... Sometimes I get a (Triangle) Armbar (Juji Gatame) too.
Seeing as I almost never land a sub I'll go with the one I sometimes get close to landing, the Kimura. Other than that I do love the triangle, pulled it off once and felt good about it for days afterwards.
I just recently learned my first submission: Arm bar. Im not good at it, but i might get better. I think the arm bar is dandy!
