Simple means you will remember it in the heat of the moment when your adrenaline is pumping. What's happening here is you are essentially using your attacker's own weight to bring him into the hold.\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-10 medium-centered large-8 large-centered columns\">\n\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h4>Breaking It Down<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-4 columns right align-to-p img\">\n\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/DSC_0071-2-300x196.jpg\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\n<ul class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>If he is throwing punches at you while you are on your back or coming in for a choke, you simply knock his arm off of you and let his weight cause him to fall forward into the choke.<\/li>\n \t<li>One key to making this work is that you must have your legs wrapped around his torso and lift your hips off the ground right when you are deflecting his arm. This will give you more control because it will move his hands away from your body momentarily (removing the support for his body).<\/li>\n \t<li>After you have deflected his arm you need to let your hips come back down to the ground so that he will fall into the choke. You can also pull his arm as you saw in the video to get him into the position you need.<\/li>\n \t<li>From this point you simply wrap your outside arm around the outside of your attacker's neck, blocking off the blood supply to his head with your bicep and his opposite shoulder.<\/li>\n \t<li>Remember to secure the choke by locking your hand into the crook of your arm and placing your free hand behind your neck. Locking your free hand behind your neck gives you leverage which is crucial.<\/li>\n \t<li>When you lift your hips and push your legs away from your body, the added leverage of the hand behind your neck will allow you to separate the vertebrae in your attacker's neck. This allows you to not only cut off his blood supply, but also cause a lot of pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>Ending The Fight<\/h4>\nAs with any fight, having two ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/nbcv\/BFE\/bfe-k.php?utm_campaign=MarkGroundChoke&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=0D4E9E9F&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">end the fight<\/a> is better than having one. If for some reason you are not able to get the blood choke (i.e. he has a really short neck, is somehow tucking his jaw to block his shoulder, etc.) the separation of the vertebrae will give you a second chance to end the conflict.\n<p id=\"read-more-link\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/nbcv\/WL-2\/ntbt-k.php?utm_campaign=RLGRN&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=MarkGroundChoke_2-16-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">Click Here For More Ground Fighting Lessons!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ending A Ground Fight As you know, I don&#8217;t advocate taking a fight to the ground.
