Now let's start working on how we can finish our opponent. The first example that we are going to use is called the Americana, it is also called the keylock. We are here, he has got his arms up, we are working. What I am going to do is take both of my hands and put it right on his forearm and a big mistake a lot of us make is they try put his arm way out here, it is not where we want it. We are going to get roll from here.
I want to take his hand and I want to drive it straight to the floor, right as close to his body as I can. I am just going to push all my weight down on it, I am going to just act like I am bench-pressing his arms to the ground. So we are here, I can do it either way. I can push down in this arm, I can push down on this one. Once I do this, by the way notice that I am using what is called a monkey grip, no thumbs. This is what we call hamburger grip. We don't want to do this, we don't we to be grabbing like this, we are going to be grabbing without thumb. So we are here, alright. I grab, I push down straight to the floor.
The next thing I want to do, I am going to take this arm, the one that is closest to my left, I am going to take this, I am going to drive it underneath his arm up under. If I see how I did that, I went underneath his triceps, up over to my wrist and I am grabbing my wrist the exact same way that I am grabbing his. This elbow closest to his head is going to go straight down as close to his ear or neck as I can get it, right there, right down on the side of his head.
Another big mistake people make in here is they start trying to pry up from here. You don't have any leverage here because you are not stressing the rotator cuff in the shoulder. We don't want to just push up from here, we want to take our elbow and his elbow and we want to push them toward his hips about three or four inches is plenty. From there, we are going to lift two or three inches and you will quickly get a tap.
So from the beginning, we are here, we are working on positions, I feel his arms; push him straight to the floor, elbow comes right down beside the head and neck, this arm down underneath and up through. Grabbing my wrist, grabbing his wrist and we will just go prying from here. I am going to take my elbows and put them down as close to his hips as possible. Now I am going to slowly put a lot of strain on his shoulder. On the other side, we are here, we are working on positions, benchpress it to the ground. I take this elbow, we go straight down beside it. This isolates the head and it really gives a lot more control.
This arm underneath the triceps up under, I am going up underneath it and grabbing my wrist. So we are here underneath grabbing. I don't just try from here, I am a bit down, now I lift. A lot of pressure on the shoulder. It is called the Americana or the keylock. From this side, so that you can see the angle of the elbow, I have pushed it to the ground. My elbow has a lot of good pressure against the neck, I am reaching underneath grabbing my wrist, monkey grip with both hands, no thumbs. I take it down then I lift. You are going to get some guys who start to try to roll you from here that is fine, just base low, hold on, you will get a tap pretty quickly, it is called the Americana.
