NECK CRANKS “redux”

Author: Odhinn Kohout

Soldiers and Police should not have a “Sports” fighting mindset if they find themselves caught in a popular position such as “The Guard.”

We teach a lot… of neck crank variations in our courses as counters to other tactics that guys are learning and this includes criminals.

Neck Cranks provide a very high degree of pain and control while mitigating injuries. They affect the Brachial and Vagus nerves of the neck which are pressure points that should be memorized due to the fact they will work on the majority of people. 

  

 The picture you can see how I am not trying to break or pass his Guard. My goal is to immediately take back control of the fight before he has the chance to use his Guard variations on me which include chokes and arm-breaks.

Posting one of your legs will also give you the ability to form a strong triangle for a base in a tripod formation. This is far more stable than being on your knees and will increase your core leverage as you apply the Neck Crank.

Train Hard and Train to Win Guys!
