09:36 - When trying to strangle someone with a RNC, we need to get the shoulder of our strangle arm in front of our opponent's shoulder. This allows us to make our strangle arm as long as possible. We use our hooks to create this effect by switching sides. If we are met with resistance, we can neck pummel to break through.

00:01 - When grip fighting while attacking from the back, the idea is we first want to get our strangle arm up by their shoulder. To do this we want to focus on bringing our own elbow in front of the shoulder of the defender and ideally towards their sternum. We can do this by bringing our hand up and pointing our palm to the ceiling. This brings our elbow forward and allows us to get our strangle arm up towards the shoulder of the defender. After focusing on our own elbow position to get our strangle hand up by their shoulder, we now focus on the defender's elbow position to break their grip. If they are using a c-grip (a grip with their thumb) their grip will be strong if their elbow is higher than their wrist. By pushing their elbow down we can break their grip to lock up the RNC. If they are taking a monkey grip (a grip without their thumb) their grip will be strong if their elbow is lower than their wrist. Therefore, we focus on pulling their elbow up to break it.

01:32 - There are two types of inside camping: low head and high head. Low head inside camping is when your hips are higher than your head. It’s used when your opponent has long-range frames—like when they push with their knees or post on your shoulders to keep you away. In this case, Gordon uses three grips: one on the near knee to stop the foot from going to the hip, a V-grip on the far ankle, and his head glued to their far shoulder. Eventually, the opponent realizes pushing isn’t working and gets tired. That’s when Gordon switches to high head inside camping, where his head is now higher than his hips and he’s closer to the opponent. The grips he uses when high head inside camping are: a post on the near knee, pulls on the far shoulder, and connects his hip to their tailbone to block butterfly hooks. The idea is to just “camp” on the person—not trying to pass right away, just sitting on their frames and making them work.
