Good choice, make them only focus on 50% of the body!

Ahh but since it says "caught in" I can still use them as a distraction 😈

If you could never get caught in a particular submission ever again what would it be? 

I'd pick the arm triangle. Getting caught in them was a long time problem.

The arm behind the head choke is such a great option when attempting the lapel choke from last week. It build such a great system. Throw in the rear naked choke that we are also looking and your partner will have their hands full!You later this week for #WristLockWednesday

Looking back I think the biggest thing was learning to stay calm and that you don't need to constantly move. Don't freak out or spazz out. This give you a moment to think or at least react properly.

When I want to learning something new or maybe answer a problem I generally isolate one piece and go from there. Lets say I want to learn an ankle lock from single leg x, I'd go down the YouTube rabbit hole or ROLTv and watch 5-10 videos from quality instructors. Sometimes I'd find a great video from a lesser known instructor who just broke it down so well. Then I'd immediately switch to how to defend the technique. In my mind seeing both sides of it really helped. I was able to see potential problems and potential solutions.To this day, I still like looking at both aspects of something I want to learn or a problem I want to solve.
