Squeeze squeeze squeeze

In the sport or art of submission wrestling , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ,Judo, Sambo and some others I forgot or don’t feel like remembering, one of the main objectives and the most important, in my educated opinion is to submit your opponent. In my sport/art of preference (Brazilian jiu jitsu minus the gi), once one has developed a game plan to set up submissions the next step, if your opponent has decent or good defense is squeezing. Squeezing your opponent and getting the victory is not as simple as it sounds. If done correctly, its not to difficult either. How many times have you had someone in a tight rear naked choke or to save me time RNC and you put 100% of all your squeezing powers into it but for some reason she didn’t tap or pass out? Now you let go of the sub, you’re trying to catch your breath and let you muscles recover from the wasted energy. Yes your biceps might look like the ultimate warriors did in 1989, but the gods of thunder are not on your side because you do not wear face paint. Think about what happened. Was your submission shit? Maybe her defense was dope son! If you were a little more patient I bet you could have got the tap. I know your thinking “If I have the sub then finish why be patient?” Well, in this case your sub didn’t work, that’s why. I want you to start to think of and use your squeeze in increments from 1% to 100%. In the situation I just gave, you set up the RNC and immediately squeezed at 100% then held on as tight as possible for a few more moments before failing mentally and physically . I want to attempt to help you fix this because I am a kind giving person who loves you. Go get your Grandma and apply the RNC, if she is already dead then use a volleyball, a stuffed animal, a very sharp meat clever, something you can simulate a choke on. Once you have everything in order , apply the RNC but just give about 20% of pressure now slowly start to add more pressure let it take about 1 minute till you have applied 100% . When you have 100% squeeze going, I want you to hold it for about another 30 seconds to a minute. This drill will help you develop stamina and strength with your squeeze . Try it with other simulated submissions, maybe the triangle? To learn to squeeze in increments or percentages will help greatly. In a real session when you have your opponent locked into an RNC try applying pressure the same way I told you to practice except start the squeeze @ 40% ..to maintain this percent for an extended amount of time should not be very taxing on your body. Start to squeeze tighter you will find that by the time you are @ about 70% your opponent has given up. If for some reason its not done then, you can lighten your squeeze to readjust. When you are squeezing with 70% of your strength and you have not won, there is no need to try to go to 100%, your technique is just off. You are most likely doing something wrong. The beauty is you did not have to let go cause you were so tired. This like everything else needs practice. When you practice, try to never hold your breath and try to keep your face relaxed, these two things will burn you out quickly. I wrote this awhile back and it was posted on 10thplanetwatch. these are important details for all so use em.

10th Planet All Stars – One Arm North South Choke
Here is a snippet from my DVD that came out this week. Check out the video below so you can see what you are getting and then Buy It Here.
“This sets a new bar for all Jiu Jitsu Instructional DVD’s. The techniques are excellent, instruction is easy understood, and it has some of the best camera work I have ever seen, allowing you to see all sides of the technique. It makes all other instructionals look like they were made in a garage in 2 hours.” – Scott elkin
Exit through gift shop. movie
It is very unlikely that i will watch a movie or in this case a documentary and think about it for more than a few hours , many of my friends and probably many of yours can quote films from start to finish, I aint that guy .In the case of “exit through gift shop’ its 3 days later and it still pops in my head. It is not cause i was a very active graffiti writer (not artist by any means )all through the mid 90’s .yes the graffiti theme of this film is what got me in the door but it is the questions i have about the film that have me thinking more than a few hours after leaving the archlight. if you haven’t seen it yet but have read reviews it tells us the doc is about some dude from the UK who writes the tag banksy . banksy turns the doc into a story about the man who was originally filming him ,some lil french guy who lives in Hollywood who calls himself Mr brain wash(mbw). Now its very interesting how the doc turns this way but my questions are why does it turn in to a bashing of mbw? it seems that all the people he wanted to be like and help turned on him as soon as he got a bit of the spot light. Are the already famous and successful artists jealous? so jealous that they made a documentary just to dis the guy? on the other hand was mbw intention to make a mockery of the art world and show how stupid people can be? if so mission complete the guys a fuckin genius .or was it that mbw was a shadie prick from the get go and was just trying to make a buck while getting some quick fame? this idea i doubt. I guess one can see as a tila tequila type story ,this dummy told America she was famous on myspace and told us enough that she lands 3 seasons on a TV show. She didn’t do anything that warranted fame or recognition but she blew the fuck up. now if she had friends that were say struggling actors(or successful) who had worked at there acting for years and had some talent i could see them getting pissed and saying things like ” look at tila getting paid for hypeing her talentless ass. would you like some fries with your coke?” what ever the motives maybe by banksy the movie made me think and still does, its a great flick ill see it again.
