Triangle Choke from Front Headlock

Another building block in my snap seoinage takedown.

I like how he shows the traditional move to the back from the front headlock. The front headlock is one of the pure products of my snap seoinage takedown, and I wasn't sure of the mechanics involved in getting to the back.

So from snap seoinage, I've got a take the back move, an anaconda choke and now a triangle. We're good to go on that one.

Brabo Counter to the Royler Half Guard Pass

When it comes to the half guard, the Royler pass is the one pass that I have the most difficulty defending.

So many thanks to Jeff Glover for this excellent counter to the Royler half guard pass--a counter the results in a brabo/anaconda choke.

I'm going to be posting a lot more of Jeff Glover over the next few days. There are a few things in his game--namely, his half guard and brabo/anaconda choke attacks--that I think I can integrate into my game fairly easily.

Anaconda Choke

A Minotauro special: the anaconda choke. I think there's a way of getting this off the snap down from standing, and I may try to work it in as the second option off the snap. The trick to that is to keep hold of the sleeve off the snap and to push that arm in as you do the reach under the guy's neck with your other arm to set the choke.
