This is the last video in the North/South Choke series. This is a hybrid of the two previous techniques and the body positioning is slightly different. In this video we start off by trying to scoop the arm. It is very common for opponent's to protect that space between their elbow and their armpit like their life depends on it (which it might!). In the event that you cant scoot your hips back and get the arm this is a great option. This option also works well for attempting to scoop the arm and half way through your opponent bridges, bucks or somehow makes space to get their arm back. It is VERY important that you lead with the ribs into the face and take the shortcut over your opponent's shoulder. Watch the video to reference what I'm talking about.If you have not watched my other videos on this position I recommend checking them out as I go into a lot of depth on how to maintain this position and finish technically. This video glosses over some of the details as it's the last in the series.
