Teaching a handsome stag some grappling~
The scarf hold has a variety of submissions available by virtue of the fact that head and arm control is readily available, and (if properly done) the opponent should be flat on their back dealing with the attacker’s bodyweight.
It may not look like it, but the kesa gatame position is very flexible, these are only a handful of many many chokes and locks you can do.
㊀ Forearm hold / lock / breaker
Very nasty submission from catch wrestling, discovered from a Tony Checcine instructional.
The attacker places the opponent’s arm on the mat, then places their shin right on the middle of the forearm whilst still controlling the wrist, tugging at their arm while pushing at the forearm with their leg for maximum leverage.
Keep in mind that the person on bottom cannot relieve stress from their forearm as they are still flat on their back, and that the arm itself carries not only the force of the leg pushing at it but a good portion of the body weight of the attacker (if they decide to lift their hips from the mat).
When you talk about submissions a lot of people will say this or that breaks limbs, when in reality it’s either dislocating joints or tearing ligaments, pretty crazy to think catch wrestling has submissions that will actually fracture bones!
㊁ Arm triangle / Kata gatame / Side choke
Ol’ reliable, perhaps the highest percentage submission amongst the whole bunch.
This extremely reliable choke is even easier to hit from the scarf hold position, since you’ve already got a hold of the opponent’s head and arm and your body is already side by side with the person on bottom, not to mention it’s fairly low risk to return to the starting position if the submission attempt fails.
The attacker traps the opponent’s arm between his and his opponent’s head, putting pressure on the carotid arteries with his arm and the opponent’s shoulder driving into the bottom’s neck.
You may make the choke even tighter by rotating away from the opponent’s legs.
Some people finish this one belly down flat on the mat and some others do it up on their knees, some can even finish it with one arm.
㊂ Bas Rutten choke / Reverse cradle / Ura gatame / Body crunch
Very fun submission to hit, and not that actually difficult to pull off!
The attacker’s arm nearest to the opponent’s head grabs a hold of their own thigh, trapping the bottom’s head and arm in between the attacker’s armpit.
The attacker then hooks one of the opponent’s legs (ideally the nearest one, though the submission works with both) with their other arm grabbing their other thigh, practically wrapping the opponent’s body around themselves.
To finish the submission the attacker lifts their hips from the mat, dropping their bodyweight on the opponent’s torso, and closing their thighs to tighten the hold, like an adductors machine.
This choke works in a very different way than others in the sense that you’re not attacking the trachea or carotid arteries, but rather by crushing the diaphragm and lungs of the opponent, making it difficult to inhale air back.
Some people say it feels like a neck crank, similar to a can opener, to me that’s just a two-for-one deal.
Bas Rutten used this in Pancrase, hence the name, he himself refers to it as a neck crank even though when he comments on it he says his opponent can’t breathe (?), whatever, it can be both.
Ura gatame in judo is somewhat different since you don’t have control of the opponent’s head or hook the opponent’s thigh with your arm, but I felt like including the name since it’s pretty obvious a no-gi variation would look exactly like this.
㊃ Bicep slicer / Short arm scissor
Very similar to the forearm lock (it’s from the same instructional wooo) and much safer too.
Instead of placing the shin in the middle of the opponent’s forearm, you put it right into the inside crook of the elbow/cubital fossa, pull the wrist to flex the opponent’s arm, trapping it between your thighs and pushing forward for the tap.
Not much more to add here other than some people feel it in their elbow joint while others feel compression on the arm muscles.
㊄ Barnett choke / Chest compression
Very similar to the Bas Rutten choke in the sense that you target the chest and not the neck for the tap.
Unlike the Bas Rutten choke, you can’t tighten the hold further by using the strength of your legs since you’re not grabbing your own thighs.
The attacker grabs his own hands, cupping the opponent’s arm above, and lifts their weight off the mat to drive it into the opponent’s chest, making it difficult for them to breathe.
To actually finish the choke you have to wait out until your opponent (quite literally) draws his last breath.
Because of this the choke is actually somewhat slow to finish, depending on the weight difference between you and your opponent.
The namesake of this submission is Josh Barnett, who famously used it to defeat Dean Lister in Metamoris IV.
㊅ Schalles lock / Shoulder lock
This cheeky little submission is readily available from a regular scarf hold position, very low-risk.
It’s just as easy to defend as it is to attack, but it serves as a nice tool to keep the opponent guessing.
The attacker simply grips their own hands together while properly holding the opponent’s wrist inside their armpit, cupping the opponent’s elbow above their hands.
To exert pressure on the shoulder the attacker just lifts the opponent’s bent elbow above their head, (they only lift the elbow, not the head).
To relieve the pressure the person on bottom only has to extend their arm, ha.
Some people’s first response to being caught in a scarf hold is to defend their arms by bodylocking the person on top, which is a proper defense, but actually makes the entry into the submission even easier.
I’ve never seen this one anywhere so I’m going with the name CCJJ gave it, after Wade Schalles (He teaches it as a pain-compliance pin strategy in wrestling, not a submission).
㊆ Americana from scarf-hold / Ude-garami from Kesa gatame / Keylock from head and arm position / Ayaka lock
One of my all time favorites! (and my personal first choice once I reach the position)
The attacker drives his leg under the opponent’s arm, and flexes their leg over the inner crook of the arm, tying up a triangle with the legs.
Just by having the weight of your leg keeping the opponent’s wrist flat on the mat, and your thigh suspending the opponent’s elbow, the person on bottom already feels tremendous stress on their shoulder.
Even if the arm isn’t fully bent or trapped, the amount of leverage your whole body gives you over the opponent’s arm is ridiculous.
The attacker may finish by pushing the elbow, driving your hips forward, or pulling at the head.
Ayaka Miura uses this submission a lot in ONE, which is why some people have started to refer to it as the Ayaka lock (which I’m all for)
She also finishes it in a very nasty way, by tugging at her opponent’s head while arching her whole body and legs back.
㊇ Gift Wrap choke
Very funny looking submission, feels great to pull off.
To attempt the submission you need the opponent’s nearest arm across their own face, as if you were attempting an arm triangle, however, instead of trapping the opponent’s head with your own, you grip the opponent’s wrist from the other side, making a loop around their neck with your arm and their own, leaving enough space around the nearest side of his neck for your free hand to fit through.
In a similar fashion to an ezekiel choke, you may exert pressure on the other side of the neck either by using the blade of your hand, or clenching your fist.
You finish the choke by pulling on the opponent’s wrist, choking the opponent with their own arm (and your hand!).
Should the submission attempt fail, the gift wrap control by itself offers many other options to attack and finish.
㊈ German necktie / Canto choke / Step-over choke
This one submission you actually start from the broken scarf hold / kuzure kesa gatame which means you don’t have control of the opponent’s head in the starting position, but instead have an underhook.
The attacker pulls the opponent’s upper torso towards themselves, and steps over the bottom’s head with the leg farthest away, pushing the head towards the arms.
I think those three names might be referring to different submissions, but from what I’ve seen the mechanics are pretty much the same, with some variation on the grips.
This one i haven’t actually tried lol, I don’t think i have the flexibility for it, but it looked way too cool not to include it.
I’ve heard it is a very neck-crankey choke, which sounds nasty. I can totally see your leg missing the neck of the opponent and pushing at the side of the head instead, getting the tap.It’s been a hot while since I did one of these and I really wanted to dive into the “Fight studies” name, so here’s a bunch of submissions from my all time favorite position.
Many armbar options and the ezekiel choke are missing, but I stuck with 9 submissions cause I’m lazy :P
In case you’re curious and want to see these in action, here’s a bunch of reference material:
-Tony Checcine’s CACC instructionals.
-Yori Nakamura's SHOOTO demonstrations.
-Cheat Code JiuJitsu’s “Kesa Gatame Deep Dive”.
and a bunch of Erik Paulson videos.
art-wise, I really like how a saturated flat color background can really make monochrome subjects stand out!
also I discovered I hate drawing knees lol
