Highlight Reel of Gina Carano

 

 

The rear naked choke is a submission hold used in mixed martial arts that cuts off the flow of blood to the brain. If applied correctly, it will force the opponent to submit. If they do not submit, they will pass out within a matter of seconds.To apply the technique, the back mount, also known as the rear mount, must be achieved.The technique involves wrapping one arm around the opponents neck so that the inside of your elbow is placed against his throat. This will naturally place your bicep against one side of his neck and your forearm against the other side. From there you can place the hand of the arm you have wrapped around the neck on the bicep of the other arm and the hand of the other arm on the back of the opponents head. From there you hug your arms together and push out with your chest until the tap. Gina uses this technique as frequently as possible to win as you can see in the above highlights.

The arm bar is one of the joint locks used in mixed martial arts competition. This joint lock is performed by placing your legs across the opponent’s chest, with one of her arms between your thighs and with the elbow joint against your hips. From that position the opponent’s arm is grabbed with your arms and her forearm is placed on your chest. To lock the arm, you will simply lean back and arch your hips at the same time. This creates intense pressure in the elbow joint and forces the tap. If the she does not tap out, she risks torn ligaments and tendons in the elbow joint. In some cases the arm bar may result in a broken bone if the opponent does not submit. This is Ronda's turn to submission and is displayed numerous times in her highlight video above.
