SUBMISSION SETUP AND KEY DETAILS
The first part of the masterclass begins by covering the key details and concepts for the submission. In this section, the 2x ADCC champion breaksdown the hand position, how to properly switch grips and details for finishing the anaconda choke. He also provides valuable insight on the opponent’s goals and possible reactions from the position.
