Gi Choke and Neck Crank

This technique involves using the arm sling position to set up a gi choke and a neck crank from the crucifix position.

1. Start by opening up your opponent and putting them onto their elbow, transitioning into the crucifix position. Your opponent will naturally try to come onto their knees.
2. React to this by performing a forward roll. Your shoulder should go to the ground and your top leg should kick off the ground as you roll.
3. Once you've rolled, you should be in the sling position with your knees tight in the crucifix. This makes it difficult for your opponent to move or break free.
4. From here, take your free hand and go for a choke by sliding it underneath the collar. You can then transition into a judo choke by releasing the grip, raising your arm high, and sliding your hand underneath the arm, finishing the choke.
5. If your opponent tucks their chin to defend against the choke, you can adjust by coming underneath the ear and getting underneath the chin to still secure the choke.
6. If you're unable to choke your opponent due to their physical attributes or the rules of the competition, you can transition into a neck crank. Maintain the hook behind the head to prevent your opponent from rolling to the other side.
7. Swim your free hand inside so that your armpit is trapping their arm. Connect your hand next to their ear, secure a 10 finger grip, and pull to execute the neck crank.
