the ezekiel. the only submission that works from any and all positions.

[@peteramarillo8952]

Great escapes. I needed this. Kept getting choked out via ezekiel at my school. Now I'll have something for him

[@tricepsish]

U guys deserve more views. Some of the most clear instruction that can be found on utube for common and simple techniques + defences. Good job!

[@bobbob4919]

Thanks so much for doing this from closed guard defence. I got tapped yesterday from a big guy doing it to me inside my closed guard and was kicking myself afterward thinking of how I could have defended it. I'm going to drill this a lot now to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[@speedracer77]

"good luck and don't get choked" haha, true

[@TonyFernandezjkdjedi]

Thanks!! Ive been tapped out to many times by this move with the dude in my guard...thanks a lot, will work on this!

[@1234kingconan]

Tony Fernandez getting tapped from here by a white belt visitor was one of my lowest moments lol

[@1234kingconan]

I’ve been looking for this counter for so long. Thanks!!!

[@17cmh89]

Great video. Thanks

[@sajili2381]

Nice move, thanks. But what about if someone does it from halfguard or mount? We have one guy that always does this from halfguard/mount and even from bottom north south. and yes he finishes people with it

[@peteramarillo8952]

Good video

[@Agtren]

Thank you for the ezekiel escape, but finishing a guillotine with one hand is just about using the hip.

[@joewhitfield5561]

Great shot of his feet 👌

Another defense, if you're a little late to get the arm, is to slide your opposite hand across your own neck. Make a fist and like the cartoon Shazaam or Wonder Twins go fist to fist with theirs. This works best prior to them getting the fist across your neck. If they're using a knife hand style, your fist is stronger. You can then use your other arm to use the technique in the video.

I got caught off guard by a newbie in my guard. I was trying to see what he was going for so I wasn’t as responsive as I should’ve been and got caught in his. Luckily he had poor finishing technique. I had to bridge, bring my knees in to get elegent to break his grip. It worked but was scary since I couldn’t pull his arm off (he was a 215lb and I’m 170lb).

No one is gunna ezekiel from guard

[@bigtomo69er]

Can't stop the dizzekiel.

[@S0ulbanish3r]

I cant frame enough to push my arm through... what canni do :/

[@MyMW3Channel]

Use your fist, opposite theirs, to block the choke. Think fist bump. It buys some time to work on the frame.
