10 MMA Submissions That Are Almost Impossible To Escape From

Again, this submission can be kickstarted as soon as you have your opponent's back in a seated position and you've successfully trapped one of their arms by using a two-on-one (catching their arm with both your hands). After you've done this, free one of your hands and go in for that rear-naked choke once more.

Now, for the fun part.

After your opponent tries to take hold of the hand which is pushing their head forward, pull it free (like you did for the schoolyard). Then, with your other arm safely wrapped around their neck as before, run your radial bone (the 'sharp bit' as Matt charmingly put it) across their eye, cheek, ear or nose - depending on your position and what mood you're in that day.

Hold that arm across their face and then pull your choking arm away. Allow that former choking arm to become the support for your across-face arm and then follow the 'five steps to heaven' rule for instant heart/face-break.

When this excruciating move is successfully cinched in, you won't have time to think about an escape. You'll be too busy trying to pick pieces of your face back up off the mat.
