Super Drag | Arm Bind Crucifix

Executing the super drag from a seated position, the technique transitions into an arm bind crucifix setup. The sequence begins with the same grip as the Fabio Gurgel drag, projecting weight and using imprecision to the practitioner's advantage. Depending on the opponent's arm movement, various pathways open up, including access to the back, legs, or double leg takedown.

1. Perform the drag, lifting the hip off the floor, and secure a collar grip to manage distance.
2. Keep the opponent's arm close, rolling it slightly to prevent them from limping out.
3. Immediately follow up by swinging the leg over the opponent's arm, maintaining the collar grip to control posture.
4. Switch grips to control the opponent's hip, pants, or leg to prevent them from jumping over.
5. Move the hip away and hide the knee inside, aiming to get the opponent's elbow line on the far side for a free elbow.
6. Lock the grip tightly, pushing the opponent's elbow out, and climb up to the far corner of their body.
7. Tip the opponent over, trapping their wrist on the inner thigh with a flexed foot, keeping the elbow free.
8. Control the opponent's other arm by placing it behind the back or holding the pinky edge of their hand.
9. With the free arm, attack the neck by making a deep grip and bringing the elbow back and down the body for a gi choke.
10. Unlike an Omoplata crucifix that attacks the shoulder, this arm bind provides a stronger connection to the opponent's back, aligning for a neck attack.

This technique offers a robust control of the opponent's arm and back, setting up a potent choke finish.
