I think for a time i will be focusing in armbar maneuvers, but let me break my own rules for once to focus in the reason i'm starting this blog: The Sleeper Hold.
I saw this movement for the first time in pro-wrestling, and I wasn't interested in it at all. But then one day i just looked for info about it and what I found made me respect this useful but simple maneuver.
DESCRIPTION
Okay, first of all this is NOT a submission maneuver, in the sense that it's objective it's not to make the oponent tap out, but to fade unconscious. It's a move which belongs to the category of "blood choke's", meaning that it's purpose it's to stop the flow of some body fluid (a simple choke maneuver it's used to leave the opponent without breath by stoping the air flowing to and from the lungs). In this case, we're talking of blood choke because our goal it's not to stop air flow, but blood flow. Specifically, we try to compress one or both carotyde arteries and/or jugular veins without compressing the airways. That causes crerebral ischemia (the brain doesn't receive enough blood for the neurological functions) which causes a temporary hypoxic situation (if the brain doesn't get enough blood then it not get enough oxygen).
The victim fades and fall unconscious in about 4 to 10 seconds, and if released, it takes double the time the choke is applied to regain consciousness. regardless of what might seem, it's a safe maneuver for practice and aplication, although it could cause death if the lock is held long enough.
APPLICATION
It is performed from the 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 are compressed on both sides of the neck. This hold does not put any pressure on the airway, but can quickly turn into an air choke if the person being strangled resists the hold by attempting to turn around
MEDIA
Ok so here's how it works
