GATOR ROLL TO ANACONDA CHOKE

You don’t have to be in a kneeling position to finish an Anaconda Choke.

Most people try to snap down first before going for the Choke.

If you couldn't snap down your opponent to the mats, you can still do a Gator Roll to get them in a good position where you can get the Anaconda Choke

Stopping a wrestler doesn’t mean never getting taken down in MMA!

Many fighters fall apart the moment they fail to stop the initial takedown.

That’s where anti-grappling needs to go beyond just takedown defense in MMA!

Stopping a grappler in MMA means building a system that makes you harder to control, harder to hold down, harder to finish.

That system should build layers of defenses, starting with your striking position and stance.

Your stance, weight distribution, movement and striking mechanics all have to account for the takedown threat.

The goal of anti-grappling isn’t to find one magic technique that “stops” wrestling.

The goal is to make it harder for the grappler at every stage:

》Make the entry harder.
》Make the takedown harder.
》Make the control harder.
》Recover faster.
》Survive longer.
》Force the wrestler to work harder.

Because there is no magic technique that simply “stops” elite grappling.

There are only better defensive systems, better layers, and better answers to the problems the grappler presents.

Catch wrestling can always be a good recovery if the sprawl is late, just enough to get back to a strong defensive position!

This is for a strong generation of TROOPS who once gave everything to this sport.

They trained hard.
They fought hard.
They pushed themselves beyond their limits.

But life eventually demanded something else.
Responsibilities. Work. Family. Obligations.
The realities that come with growing older.

Some had to step away from the mats. Some had to put their fighting dreams on hold. Not because they were weak. Not because they stopped loving the sport. But because sometimes, life comes first.

Still, they will always be part of the TROOPS family.

Because being a trooper was never only about how many fights you had or how long you stayed in the gym.

It was about the character you built, the battles you fought and the brotherhood you shared.

FAILED SHOT RECOVERY

Not every shot is a successful shot. Learn how to recover safely after being fully sprawled to the mat:

■Move toward your underhook side to put your shoulder in a strong position while keeping your head away from the front headlock.

■Keep your thumb pointing down to reduce pressure on the shoulder as you build back up.

■Keep your head tight to his near shoulder to maintain strong posture and prevent him from controlling your head.

■Adjust your body and get up laterally rather than trying to come straight forward.

■Your rear leg gets up first, not your lead leg.

■Keep pushing him to the wall.

Now you successfully recovered! Now you can work for the takedown off the wall!

Using the hip toss against the wall to expose the back and the leg trip.
The rule is, if you can control the hips, you can dominate the position!
