4 Finger Pull Back Counter To Rear Naked Choke Defense

4 Finger Pull Back Counter To Rear Naked Choke Defense

Guest post by David Avellan, an ADCC bronze medalist. Avellan has defeated many of the world’s best grapplers, such as BJJ Black Belt World Champions Rafael Lovato Jr.Tarsis HumphriesAmaury BittetiAlexandre ‘Xande’ RibeiroRoberto ‘Cyborg’ Abreu, and Rener Gracie.

Avellan is credited for developping The Kimura Trap System , a powerful submission system that counters half guard, turtle guard, and take down players with brutal efficiency.

The only submission I have been tapped with in competition is the Rear Naked Choke. Four times to be exact

None of these chokes were started from the back mount though. They were all started in transition. I say that because my choke defense from the back mount is solid. I have had Ronaldo “Jacare” DeSouza, Pablo Popovitch, and Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu on my back and they couldn’t do anything with it.

My secret defense was to choke myself first!

By taking the space under my chin they need to choke, it makes it near impossible to get a good choke.

Well, my black belt Jason “the Specimen” Soares has put an end to that with the 4 Finger Pull Back.

As you can see, it isn’t fun for me, lol!

Honestly, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner. It is a clever way to break the defense and make it even easier to lock on a tight rear naked choke.
