Have you ever done the Fat Man Choke?
Not yet? You should definitely learn how to do it, as everyone can – even skinny athletes!
Let’s be honest – your Side Control mostly comes down to, well, controlling your opponent. You utilize it for transitions to Mount and North-South, but aside from that, there’s not much you can show for; i.e., you lack submissions from this position. Sure, you may sometimes sneak in an occasional Americana, but you’re not too versatile when it comes to tapping people out directly from here.
That’s the reason why you should learn the Paper Cutter Choke. It’s a submission that comes by surprise and is notoriously effective; you just have to find a way it works for you.
Here’s how to do the Fat Man Choke, as explained by Paul Tom:
