Side Mount: Von Flue



From the Side Mount there is a great submission made famous on the Ultimate Fighter II reality show by Jason Von Flue.

Jason learned the technique at Pedro Sauer's school from inside the guard as a guillotine defense with the gi. He then took the technique and modified it for no-gi.

During one of his fights on TUF Jason pulled the technique off from SM and people have been calling it the Von Flue ever since.

And then you drive your shoulder into their neck by getting up to your feet so that you can use your weight and squeezing the Gable Grip. Be careful not the let your right leg get trapped in Half Guard again.



Here is a video done by James Clingerman where he does a great job of breaking the choke down and showing how it can be used from other positions like Butterfly Guard and from inside your opponent's guard.
