High-percentage techs from standing through dominant positions & submissions. Fundamental takedowns, front headlock control, & reliable chokes from top.

Flow outline

  1. High Percentage Chokes Top From Standing

    • Most of the time Focus on fundamental chokes that work from standing positions. These are high-percentage techniques that require solid grips and proper positioning

  2. Standing

    • From here, the starting position for all engagements. keep good posture, balance, and distance management. control the grips and dictate the engagement

  3. Front Headlock

    • Once set, from here, a dominant control position from standing. secure the head and one arm to control posture and set up submissions. keep pressure and prevent escapes

  4. Front Headlock Linking The Techniques
