Could Ronda Rousey Kick Your Azz?

That's like asking how to get out of a rear naked choke, once it's set.

Thats another one I wanted to ask about but yall beat me to it. My estimation was that the only way would be to get ahold of a weapon since you have two free hands. At that point the other guy would let go pretty quick if he knew what was good for him. Looking at it from a non competition standpoint of course. Then again, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to chokehold someone like that outside a friendly competition anyway. Too big of a risk they might have a knife somewhere

It does according to my old judo instructor. Said he snuck that one in when a judge wasn't looking.

I'm pretty sure I could handle the pain for the 5 seconds of consciousness you have left.

Would be a quick way for me to hold on to the choke after you tap to make sure you go to sleep.

That shit doesn't work. Hahahahaha

Well now I'm curious. Say you were locked in a good armbar. And instead of just giving up you want to try to get out of it. What would you do? What are your options?

Basically what stanggt40 said but there are a ton of details that I won't waste typing out.

[Nate]

Agreed. Pretty much the only way out of a fully set rear naked choke is to fight dirty. Pinching the living shit out of the inner thigh for example, makes most people let go in a hurry.

There are several different arm bar positions, but in a typical scenario, where you're on your back and your opponent has your arm stretched out to your side and he's on his back, you would attempt to pull your arm and turn toward your opponent, driving your elbow to the ground. However, even in that scenario, if they have your arm set and are tightly controlling your body, the escape could be next to impossible, depending on your opponent.

Getting out of a rear naked choke is easy as pie. Just take a quick nap.

Shh...that's my secret escape! Lol

Dude ...this might convince someone who doesn't train. But I'm not buying your bs today. Yes there are escapes from every move...there are several escapes from mount...doesn't mean you are not at a mechanical disadvantage. You (being armbarred) have two arms and two hands to defend. I have my same two arms and hands plus my legs to control your head and body and when done properly my core to pull against your hands/arms/grips on top of having gravity on my side to pin you down.

You can grip your other arm all you like before its extended, that's fine. I'm finishing that armbar still at a high percentage.

This is true.

If you see/figure out someone is going for an armbar you can muscle and maneuver out of it if you are quick enough, unless you are just in a helpless position.

I'm assuming most of his experience getting out of it is with other white belts. I doubt they had the skill to render him completely helpless. It's probable they weren't in a real position to arm bar him in the first place, yet they tried.

[Nate]

Not taking sides here, but the way I read Exlude's post is as follows.

It sounds like he is saying if he gets his other arm onto the attacked arm BEFORE the move is completed it can get out of it. Like when you sense the other is setting you up for an armbar and move to defend at the same time they move to attack.

I may be reading it wrong, but that's what I think.

[Nate]

I'm sure it will, it does everyday.

But that doesn't change my personal experience with one very specific defense. Where do you train? I'm always glad to swing by when in DFW.

Alvarez Bjj in Arlington.

Feel free to drop in, I'd like to see the defense.

Bjj smackdown!
