1. Sleeper Hold:

The lateral vascular neck restraint (also called sleeper hold) was once a widely taught blood choke in law enforcement, and was performed from behind by putting an arm around the neck with the crook of the elbow over the midline of the neck. By pinching the arm together while assisting with the free hand, the carotid arteries and jugular veins were compressed on both sides of the neck. This hold did not put any pressure on the airway, but an improperly applied hold could quickly turn into an air choke if the person being strangled resisted the hold by attempting to turn around.

2. Ryote Jime:

Two hand choke from the front grabbing the collars with the thumbs inside and turning your fists into the sides of the neck.

3. RNC:

The Rear naked choke (RNC) is a chokehold in martial arts applied from an opponent’s back. Depending on the context, the term may refer to one of two variations of the technique, either arm can be used to apply the choke in both cases.

4. Nami Juji Jime:

Normal cross lock from the front with arms crossed grasping the collars with the thumb inside.

5. Kata Juji Jime:

Half cross lock with one hand fingers-in and one hand thumb-in.

6. Gyaku Juji Jime:

Reverse cross lock from the front with the fingers inside.

7. Arm triangle Choke:

Arm triangle choke (Arm triangle) is a generic term describing blood chokeholds in which the opponent is strangled in between his or her own shoulder and the performer’s arm.

8. The Guillotine:

The Guillotine choke is a chokehold in martial arts applied from in front of the opponent. The choke involves using the arms to encircle the opponent’s neck in a fashion similar to a guillotine.

9. Gracie Choke:

Grab your arm/gi with one arm, putting your opponents head in between your arms, grab the elbow/gi on the other arm.

10. Gi Choke:

Use the opponents Gi/uniform to choke him by hold in one side and bringing a part of his gi/uniform from the other side over to this side (then pull with one arm and press with the other).

1. Dont damage each other, train in a safe way.
2. Semi-Contact to the body and slaps with open hand to the face (not the face area like eyes, nose and mouth) is okay….
3. Dirty tricks is also allowed…..

Note: The slaps to the face are made like hook, backfists and uppercut just with open hand. Cross is allowed to but you just stop the strike both to avoid damage and to show/train control in your technique….

1. Sparring with the Eskrima Stick:

We do sparring in many different ways, below is a video with me and Grandmaster John Villasin training “the Play” a form of sparring from the Villasin Balintawak Style:

4. Sparring with Knife Vs. Knife:

5. Sparring with “focus on one area”:

Besides above we also sometimes trains sparring with focus on one area only like Kicking only, striking only, ground fighting only, the pocket stick only and so on…….

The Game Face is when you put on a face that does not tell your opponent about your real fellings, it also has a intimidating effect……

You can compare it to when the Samurai in the old days did put on their War Masks, they did that for many of the same reason as we are using the Game face.
Below is some of the reasons to use the Game face:

1. It hides if you are tried….
2. It has a intimidating effect on your opponent……
3. It hides if you feel pain…..
4. It hides if you are scared….

The Game Face works a lot like a Pokerface or if you imagine putting on a Japanese War Mask, where you train and work on hidding above things….
You can say its also a matter of showing your opponent a attitude that tells him that you are in control all the time both with the face and the body…..
You have to believe 110% in your self and your skills when you fight and show this….
