The most painful submission I've ever experienced to date came courtesy of Egor Radzik (owner of Redstar) at a seminar he did here in the summer.
I'm at work so don't have the picture to post, but there is a picture of Egor demonstrating the submission on me as Redstar's cover photo at https://twitter.com/redstarbjj
He called it the "Russian Hug". It was like a hip dislocator, spine lock, neck crank... Just bad.. bad bad bad.
Yeah, I know it as a Carnie Hold / Stretch. It's been around for a long time. First saw Erik Paulson do it in the 90's, but seen it out of other catch guys too.
Dokonjonosuke Mishima shows a variant of it he calls the Cobra Hold, after showing an Inside Toe Hold.
