[@dobrisomething]

I think John Wicks arms is hurt, thats why he can't shoot him in the scene. It was the same arm that got twisted. Great video guys!

[@grimreminder5038]

The jacket choke can work if you tighten both sides of the collar around the neck and pull toward you. The angle in the movie is questionable as it's focused more on one artery instead of both by the look of it. The most effective way is if the person's facing you and you cross your arms while grabbing both sides of the collar and pulling the person toward you while also making sure the fabric is wrapped effectively around both arteries as the pressure can be used to cut off blood flow to the brain by various degrees. Another reason as to why anyone shouldn't wear loose clothing in matters like that, anything can be used as a weapon.

[@soumitramandal]

Wow. Now the scenes make more sense. Cool explanation

[@idocare6538]

​ @Scenic Fights @2:37, that spider guard looks like it is partly on the elbow controlling the flex and if not, I think that is the way it was indented to be. In your example you are completely on the bicep.

[@ShadowShinobi108]

[@jacobstewart2235]

Yeah, I was gonna say.. Dude empties a 7 round mag into 7 people in a matter of seconds but he's missing shots because of some grappling? He also leaves Common alive (more or less) at the end of their fight.

[@AcidxAnarchy]

You got me, I subscribed. I really love seeing all these moves broke down and explained. You guys would probably get more views and subscribers if you just showed techniques and breakdowns in your respective arts instead of movie stuff but that's just my opinion. Either way I subscribed and I hope to see some more techniques thoroughly explained. Keep up the great work!

[@devildog3606]

I think how wick grabbed his arm to escape the arm bar/ avoided his elbow getting broken was I think I saw him roll his hips towards the attacker and kinda get up on one hip so he could have better extension of his left arm to grab his right arm

[@ryanrrr42]

I think the last choke that Common tried was both hands crossing to the opposite jacket side and pulling it into the neck with his leg over John Wick's shoulder for more pressure on the pulling of the jacket...maybe?

[@stephenbartels7860]

For the front cross collar choke cross your arms before grabbing the collar then pull outwards. I did get put out with that choke once.

[@kedarraman6690]

I think one aspect of this scene is that John really doesn't want to kill common especially because in the story it's barely been a week since his culling of the mafiya while commons character is full on trying to kill wick for killing his charge so John empties the clip to try and defuse the fight and head to the continental to enforce the ceasefire.

[@badgirlhollywood9741]

You think that? Really)

[@hcole3201]

I love this video, rewatching it, possibly the reason why wick was able to grab his arm was bc commons hips were past the elbow, giving wick space to drive his elbow down, thoughts? Ps love the channel.

Even in their "final" fight John gives him a way to live, out of respect or (professional courtesy)

[@schmuardian]

at 5:00, looks like a variation of Judo's Nami Juji Jime or Gyaku Juji Jime.. a front choke using both lapels. but agree even if choke is applied it looks like control is weak and can easily spin out.

[@epocholypse8638]

The armbar escape: looks like Wick is wind milling his legs to try and get to an armbar stack escape, then Common's character counters with knife draw, Wick retreats to give a little extra space to block the knife attack. That is just what I saw.

[@brainrich1358]

To me it looked like Common was either trying a cross collar choke or working to set up a baseball bat choke (which is a pretty brutal choke) but the way he had his hands placed was a little weird but I think this helps to show how when in a fight with adrenaline and your mind running, sometimes mistakes happen and you just have to work with what your opponent gives you.
