Tonight we worked on three applications of a classic elbow/arm lock, including how to end things quickly and even taking them into throws and finishes.

Properly applied, the difference between an attacker having a painful but relatively harmless lesson vs the attacker needing an orthopedic surgeon (or worse) can be a very slight variation in application.

And it’s EASY to learn!
Come learn how to be dangerous.

Juji Gatame is a submission hold where an opponent's arm is trapped between the attacker's thighs, and hyperextension is applied against the elbow joint. If you watched the fight between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, you saw Rousey use this to get the tap and the win.
In a self defense scenario, it’s a quick and effective way to destroy the elbow AND get back to your feet before other people show up. Gulf Coast Jujutsu teaches Japanese Jujutsu that works in real-world situations.

Chokes or shimewaza, are techniques designed to force a submission by compressing the carotid arteries (blood chokes) or, less commonly, obstructing the airway, leading to a quick tap-out or momentary loss of consciousness.
In a self defense situation, chokes are applied quickly, while maintaining situational awareness. Just because you’ve choked out one attacker, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have some buddies.
