My coach put me in a shin lock and yes, it definitely hurts, you have to be aware of chokes of course but it's a pretty brutal move to be on the receiving end of.
In a rush right now; i will come back and explain.
But ive been using it for almost 10 years and never been choked...
Yeah sorry, life was busy.Looking forward to your reply.
Between the shin bone and calf muscle
Yeah sorry, life was busy.
Of course, i could teach you that, live, in a minute, but lets try with words.
1-tuck your chin in and turn your head towards the leg you will attack.
2-grab the foot by the toes, and quickly lean forward and on your side(pinning the leg between your side and the mat)
3- apply the pressure with the elbow right between the shin bone and calf muscle.
4- push hard with elbow and pull the foot towards you. Its very important the leg is on the mat and well pinned. That will make you harder to choke (you r more balled up) puts more pressure(more painful), and restrain your partners movement to escape.
And
5-be ready to bail out. It might not work , so you’ll have to spin fast to face them. But you will go from having a guy attacking your back, to you being in their closed guard. They are usually happy to make that trade.
Even if it fails, it still hurts. You now have an opponent worrying everytime you touch their legs.
They suddenly retract their legs more and the guard becomes magically easier to pass.
Anyhow, if you ever pass by Montreal, drop me a line, the private class will be free.
PS thats just one shin lock. You can find other painful versions online from various positions.
