Combat Clinch - Head Controls

I picked up this DVD last week in as it was on special offer. It is a really good DVD, the techniques in it look so simple but very effective. I keep wondering why they hadnt occured to me in the first the place!

I really liked the use of the head controls on the ground too, like Richie says on the DVD, its not something you think of, or could use in a grappling class as it would be considered dirty, tho after seeing them, I'm going to try them!

Great DVD, now I just need to get the others in the series

Since shooting the DVD I go for them all the time in grappling classes, they work really well as a simple way to keep your opponent disorientated and under pressure- I have even managed to get a few submissions from it!
get hold of the head as shown on the dvd with one hooked hand and leverage with elbow on chest, then go for the back of one of the legs and simply draw the knee towards the head- usually gets a tap if they cant wiggle out

edited to say- u need to switch head control position to get the final tap- obviously (!)

thats from what position?

mount?

yeah I think its started from me being in mount and going for a can opener a few times- I cant really remember

hard to describe grappling in words but here goes:

the actual finsishing position looks like some old school ring wrestling thing- you link your fingers whilst cradling the neck (chin crushed into their own chest) and the back of one leg and then just flex your back and squeeeeeze!

Ive done it sort of kneeling next to them or over them in side mount (flip them onto their side) even when grappling from knees but its the head control that sets it up

does anyone know the position/submission Im talking about? I dont know what its called

like this neck cracnk from Bas Rutten but facing downward

like in a wrestling pin cradle

so take them two, breed them together into a mutant where you are kneeling next to your opponent and over them and you have the thing im talking about!
