the guy on a video has a bit funny kesa gatame,
classic one will be a bit more like
Barnett also does it in the way that wont allow this escape to work
Today I tapped out to a choke - verbally:) - it was a very tight collar choke - I was underneath a guy and the collar got both my hands - I hoped I manage to defend by having my hands in front of choke but it was so strong I basically got choked with my own hands - so I had no hands to tap, no legs to tap, and my face was completelly covered, and I panicked a bit - it was really fun to discover after all those years there is still stuff in grappling that can cause me to feel fear:):) basically I was about to pass out and I thought - wow I will pass out, wont tap and the guy wont let go and I'll die. Thats not an abstract fear - there ws supposedly one case on UK comp exactly like that.
I love the fact grappling still causes terror in my heart:) I still think its colsest to actually killing someone wihout actually doing so.
I would also say neck cranks and spine twists are much more primal when it comes to fear they cause:)
