2 Part Technique - Marcelo reveals two great set-ups for the North South Choke when your opponent is protecting his back and arms from your control. Run to the North South Position and keep his arms away from interfering with your choke by stabilizing him with Double Over Control. The first set-up is to drive your shoulder into his stomach, picking his head up off the mat, and collapsing back down onto his neck. If he is preventing you from creating this space under his head, drop down into the choke without wrapping around his head, pinching his neck with your elbow and ribs. Rock him slightly up onto his side to slip your forearm underneath his neck and clasp your hands with a Gable Grip to squeeze on the North/South Choke.
