Greg Jackson's acclaimed coaching partner Mike Winkeljohn shows how to mix up your martial arts skills.
1. Mike (right) uses his right hand and grabs a single collar tie on Chuck, who is about to use it to bring Mike onto his elbow strike.
2. Chuck breaks Mike’s collar tie by pulling down on Mike’s elbow with his left hand. Doing so pulls Mike’s upper body closer. Chuck takes advantage of the space and Mike’s movement to fire a left elbow over the top.
WINK’S TIP:
Here, it’s good to ensure your opponent doesn’t move to your back by swimming your left arm under their right straight after the elbow.
