Super fun match with Nelson back in the blue belt days at the @provinggroundssubmissiononly. As my 43rd bday approaches, I find it much harder to hang with the 20-something year olds in training & competition. The beauty of this art however, is that with technique, timing and lots of practice you can have a chance against the younger folks. The submission at the end is known as a baseball choke. It relies on the forearms to apply bilateral compression to the carotid arteries (like a RNC) and can be done from the top or bottom. The neat part is that from the bottom, the submission gets tighter as the opponent advances their position. Perfect for me since my guard is easy to pass ??? #fbf #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #selfdefense #alavanca #fitness #bjj #kindredjiujitsu #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
