Neck Crank from All Fours

Sat Oct 01, 2005 9:53 pm

Here is a simply way to attack your opponent when they are in the 'All Fours' position.

Step 1 Eddie is in the All Fours position and I am controlling his side	Step 2 I reach my right hand around Eddie's jaw, forcing Eddie's face to look towards me.
Step 3 I reach my left hand over and grab my right wrist, pulling his face even farther towards myself	Step 4 Keeping my grip tight and my weight forward, I lean forward and put Eddie's head on the mat
Step 5 I switch my hips and drop my base and continue to crank up on Eddie's face until I get the tap.

I think i've heard something very similar to that being called a "choke" before. Is there anyway to make any small adjustments in order to turn that into a choke instead of a crank. Of course cranks are illegal in all tournaments at all levels basically.

OK....i'm going to check my Carlson Gracie instructional book. I know i saw that choke in there somewhere, and i'm pretty sure they called it a choke. I think it's the same one Carlos Newton used on Pat Militech.

got to love the headlock.

(neck crank / choke )

Is there any counter to this if someone gets it on you? On the streets could be a broken neck. What is one to do? Say Uncle?

Ultraman, There is a move called the bulldog choke, school yard choke, or school boy choke, where the arm wraps deeply around your partners neck, one of the guys on this forum (kilkboom) choked his opponent totally out with this choke at a match a few weeks ago.

I love this move. I was rolling the other day and I was on top in the refferees position and had managed to trap his right arm between my legs. I flattened him out and applied the crank (slowly of course I do't want to hurt my training partner) and boom he tapped. I love the cranks. :)

I got hurt in a tournament once...my camera angle was bad so I never knew what exactly happened. I think this may have been it. My spine has not been the same since. :-(

You can also full nelson from that position and set your near leg into their tailbone. pull their head down and lean forward. Turtle crucifix!
(Watch our for the rolling kneebar)

Nasty and dangerous. The way you showed is cool...it looks all old school!
