This week we're joined by Matt Skaff! Matt is a 10th Planet black belt who specializes in the anaconda choke. The anaconda is powerful because it's not just a choke: it's a powerful positional system with a lot of submission options. Matt's key advice for the anaconda: - Don't squeeze too early!- Don't go deep too early: you don't want them to control your elbow.- Use your lat for power: pinch your elbows to your core.- Grab your tricep, not your bicep. Internally rotate your thumb down.- Before you gator roll, pull them back and sprawl at 45°.
