Figure 4 Neck Crank

Printer Friendly Version

Sometimes when working on a standing front choke or guillotine, switching off to a figure-4 Neck Crank might just do the trick. One of my fighters has had great success with this technique.

Step 1

June starts with a front choke on Kim.

ooooohhhh This looks nice. I am a big fan of cranks, locks and twists. Cervical, spine and all the other goodies. I can't wait to try it out. My only issue is that the end loks a little shakey. I think it would be hard to prevent them from popping their shoulder free and closing the distance. I suppose you would either have to do it fast or if their shoulder pops free the guilotiene is right there.
