No one's gonna gently caress with you at work though. Hopefully you don't have a job that requires social contact with people who wouldn't understand how much BJJ owns.

Are they caused by the same move tagging you or is it just bad luck?

I think it's mostly my fault. Usually happens when I'm trying to pass guard. I usually try to stand up and hand-fight the legs to set up a leg drag/weave. I also like to crash the hips for an over/double under pass. I tend to run into knees somewhere in there. I also tend to catch them when someone tries to aggressively reguard when I pop up into a tight combat base(?) One knee down, one knee up, front knee and elbow connected, face near the front hand.

I'm also the dumb blue belt who likes to push the pace, and most of them happen when I run into someone who wants to play the same game. It's like two Highlanders meeting or something.

Demian Maia demonstrated that principle with Rick Story. If your squeeze is strong enough, being under the chin itself isn’t necessary.

I need something stronger.

The other week I was being stubborn about an RNC that was over my chin while I was attempting to escape. Partner kept going until my chin was almost behind my shoulder before I tapped. My partner isn't a particularly strong guy. I haven't been able to comfortably look to my left since.

Moral of the story is: everything above the neck is the neck. Tap.

Chin Locks are no joke and not something to be screwed with. A broken neck or broken jaw is not a fun time I assume.

Are there any examples of a neck being broken like this, or by other BJJ chokes?

I've often found it a bit funny while watching martial arts movies, where all it takes is a flick of the wrist and the bad guys neck is broken. But irl I've seen some necks twist in some very disturbing ways to no ill effect.

I cant think of famous examples, but anecdotally in nogi if someone puts their chin down during a properly applied RNC I have no doubt I have enough leverage left after they tap to the chin lock to have gone way further if I want. If not breaking the neck then atleast dislocating the jaw and hyper extending any muscles involved.

Isn't that true for a lot of things in BJJ? Isn't it on the person being hyper extended/dislocated to tap?

Yes. Except in cases of people like Rousimar Palhares that hold on long after tap, someone just toughing out a submission is accepting liability for the outcome, imo.

c.f. angela magana and her twister injured back. I do not fault the person applying the submission at all.

Imo with the chin lock it's easy to release the pressure - by lifting your chin (and accepting the sweet release of the RNC).

In the words of Kurt Ossiander,if you wind up in this position you hosed up a long time ago. I just accept the sweet release of the RNC, because in my weight division you're not gonna have the strength to haul someones RNC hand down.


spacetoaster posted:

Yea, but a bunch of idiots will look at certain submissions and go "LOL LIKE THAT'LL EVER ACTUALLY HURT SOMEONE I CAN TOUGH IT OUT", so it's a worthwhile comment to be made for non-traditional moves that "Yes, from this position they shouldn't be tapping because they're annoyed, they're tapping because you can totally rip the submission and no poo poo gently caress them up.

See: Bicep/Calf Slicers, Compression chokes, most catch wrestling holds.

In the longer run, this position favours the strangle, not the escape. I can blast out of white and most blue belts' RNCs like this - really it's more of a function of buying myself a second to exploit the space they give to my hips and back - but against purple belts and up it's game over once that choking arm gets to my shoulder.

Which comes back to my original thought about who said that thing - I've started just taking the chin lock when people give it to me, and I'm getting far more taps than I expected.

The takedown potentials with the Russian Tie feel pretty awesome. I feel like I have a lot of control. I hit one this morning during nogi class that was almost like an uchi mata and then turned into a tai otoshi like situation. Usually dont play around with Russian Tie but Im learning to like it.

Any Russian tie takedowns you guys prefer that are maybe a good startoff point?

If I'm feeling spry, I use the russian tie to pick up single legs. If I'm feeling lazy I use the tie to get a weird tani otoshi by taking the close arm going to a far hip/belt grip while keeping far hand on wrist/sleeve.

I like to piss them off with the broken posture for a few seconds and then push the wrist into their chest and feed my other arm deeper (making a fist) into a kimura-esque position and then do a sacrifice throw with it. You land in a near-arm-kimura-thing that’s not too hard to finish.

The trigger is when they get a bit of posture back and the arm is starting to slip out, pushing that wrist in keeps you in control. Works best when combined with a couple of simpler takedowns. If you’re having trouble with the armlock, you have to make sure it’s really deep while you’re still standing.
