This is one time I dont agree with Mikey Triangles (and I train with him so its certainly not personal) but I dont ever like to circle into chokes! If you circle towards the leg that is across your neck u risk putting yourself deeper into the choke. I know it should be done a certain way (as Mikey says explosively) and you should have a certain grip but nothing goes that smoothly in real time. You risk the guy grabbing underneath your leg and keeping you at that angle and u are also giving him a better angle for the arm bar.
That defense will def work if all goes well but for me it leaves too much to chance, and you need some insane flexibility.
Im all about the posture if I can! Dean Listers video is top notch! That is the perfecttttttttttttttt triangle!!
Hey trickster, now that I think about it I don't think you and i ever really discussed this technique before. I thought you were there when Millard was asking me about it, but I guess you weren't.
Anyway as I stated in the past that was a bad video, and I recently shot a new one with better details and explaination. Fact is this technique works for me all the time, even in competition; it's just hard to get a grasp on from that video. I'm going to post a better one in a seperate thread now with some more info. if you have any questions or comments post them in here:
