Drysdale BB, nice. He must be a ninja.
The move Renzo showed me is a counter to when someone grabs ahold of your neck hard, like a one-armed MT clinch. Which happens a lot in jitz. Most of the time, there are classic counters to that which work, like slapping it into a Russian tie, or (one I like) wrapping over the arm with your same-side arm and threatening a power guillotine, which usually makes them let go. But, I’d been having problems with this one super heavyweight 3 stripes purplebelt, who has monster strength, just a different level. He favors that grab behind the head, and my classic counters just didn’t move his arm at all. So, I’ve been asking around, youtubing around, nothing really working too well. One blackbelt gave me a counter-escape which is decent, but I wanted something more offensive. So when I met Renzo I was like oh shit, this is the guy to ask. He was always the grittiest Gracie, most always the smaller guy, and I knew he would have some nasty street shit. Sure enough, he did. And Renzo was so cool, he demonstrated it on me, then insisted that I then do it on him, which is always the sign of a good teacher.
Basically, with your same-side hand, you reach over & around their arm that has you, all the way, so you can cup their elbow underneath. Then with your other arm, you reach under their arm the other way, and cup the bicep. Then you hug the arm to you, really tight to your chest, and then turn your whole body HARD to the side their arm is on, like you are doing a side crunch. This effectively shoulderlocks them, like that wizard Mirlock on Pete Williams back in the day. I almost never have a move that I never practiced work the first time I try it in a live roll, but this worked SO well it actually turned into a takedown, lol. The look of shock on his face was amazing, because he had been used to using that grab, and I felt like I won the lottery.
TL/DR: thank you master Renzo much hespect
