Chokes

Armbar and Choke off the Scissor Sweep

Why #sweep when we can #submit? First we fake them out with our scissor sweep and attack the armbar. If breaking limbs isn't your thing, then as long as you kept your collar grip you can bite your calf on the back of the head, use your free hand to pull their shoulder forward, and finish the lapel choke!
