![]() Finishing Mechanicsįinishing an anaconda choke does not require you to squeeze or roll around like an Alligator. ![]() This locks their shoulder in place and allows you to put pressure on both sides of the neck for a blood choke. Threading the arm as deep as described means you can lock up a rear naked choke grip configuration at the level of the opponent’s armpit. This places your biceps directly on the carotid artery on the bottom side. ![]() The forearm of the arm that goes across the neck though, needs to pop out under the opposite side armpit, though.Īchieving this is only possible if you are supine and lying on your side. The choke involves you threading an arm as if you’re trying to do an arm in a guillotine. The anaconda choke works from a front headlock position and is set up similarly to the Darce choke. Driving their shoulder into the opposite side carotid can be achieved by using your collar bone (arm triangle), shoulder (Darce), ribs (arm-across guillotine), chest (Mizzou choke) or a rear naked choke grip ( anaconda choke). You can have the biceps or the forearm pressing directly up against the carotid artery on one side of the opponent’s neck. The placement of the arms varies depending on the choke. The end goal is the same as in every triangle – put pressure on one carotid artery via direct placement of your own body part (in this case, a part of your arm) and put pressure on the other carotid of the opponent’s neck by pressing their own shoulder into it. With the Mizzou being a trick only a handful of people know, the anaconda is the strangle that gets shunned even though people are aware of it and get the chance to set it up.Īll the head and arm chokes are essentially triangle chokes, only done with the arms rather than the legs. Also known as arm triangle chokes, this cluster of submissions includes the arm triangle, Darce, anaconda, arm-across guillotine, and Mizzou chokes. In the case of Oliveira, it looked as if Wisely's movement while trying to get out of the toe hold took him the wrong way, ending up putting himself in the Slicer, as much as Oliveira intentionally getting him there.The anaconda choke is the black sheep of the head and arm chokes family. ![]() It's almost as much luck as it is any of the skills just mentioned. The reverse hold, being the complete opposite, uses the lower body to apply all the pressure on the trapped leg, and the hands are for wrenching the body back into position. Highly-trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Oliveira's wrap sheet shows off a lot of the usual suspects in the realm of subs, including three guillotines, four rear-naked chokes, and even three anaconda chokes.īut it's his reverse Calf Slicer (2:53 in the video) on an unsuspecting Eric Wisely that stands head and shoulders above the rest on the highlight reel.Ĭalf Slicers pop up here and there in the world of MMA, but a reverse of the same move is incredibly rare, not just to bring about a finish, but to even apply the move at all.Ī regular set up for the Slicer usually involves trapping the opponents leg in a triangle position and using your hands to crank at the ankle, applying pressure to the knee and calf. The man holds the UFC record for most submissions with an astonishing 13 finishes. Brazilian submission magician Charles Oliveira has made a career out of making his opponent tap. ![]()
