Capizzi-Lock Crucifix To The Inner Bicep Strangle Lock

Executing the Capizzi-Lock from the crucifix position transitions into a north-south arm-in palm-to-palm neck lock. This technique is effective when the opponent is defending against full geometry entanglement by straightening their arm.

1. Start by trapping the opponent's shoulder using your legs while in the crucifix position.
2. When the opponent bridges back, slide your bicep under their chin, locking it in place with a thumbs-down grip, and secure your hamstring with your hand.
3. Apply pressure by projecting your hip into their neck, creating a cervical lock that can cause significant pain or damage.
4. If the opponent defends by sitting back down, transition to a deep north-south strangle by snaking your hand through and placing your hip behind their head.
5. For resistant opponents, move to the top position and establish an inverted palm-to-palm grip, placing your wrist against the side of their vertebrae.
6. Sprawl and slide back to roll the grip into the vertebrae, potentially causing serious spinal damage.
7. Ensure control of the opponent's hand by gripping above the fingers, allowing you to manipulate their hand and prevent them from freeing their arm.
8. If the opponent attempts to bridge and turn over, invert your bicep and grip your hamstring to finish with a strangle.
9. Should they extend their body to defend, transition to the top and use your body to project the strangle, connecting palm to palm and rolling your wrist into their neck for the submission.

It is crucial to be mindful of the opponent's safety, as this technique can cause severe neck and spinal injuries. Practice the wrist movements to ensure a secure and effective grip without causing self-injury.
