ACA League Kazakh Lightweight Fighter Grand Prix Finalist Artem Reznikov responded to the words of ASA league founder Mairbek Khasiev about the North-South chokehold.
After Reznikov (24-6 in MMA) beat Andrey Koshkin with a North-South hold in the ACA Grand Prix semi-finals, the league founder claimed Reznikov’s opponents simply don’t know “the defense of basis against a specific choke hold”.
I’ve made this move to so many black belts. [по бразильскому джиу‑джитсу]. Very much. In training I wrestle with guys no lower than a brown belt. And in sparring, everyone came to my “North-South” and repeatedly. And they know how I do it, but they let me do it anyway. That’s why it’s a crown. They know what I’m going to do, but it works anyway – their job isn’t to let me take side control, because if I go, that’s probably it already.
Not many people practice this technique, so Mayrbeck can’t say for sure whether or not he knows how to pull it off. To condemn reception, it is necessary at least to know it. It’s very complex, very difficult to do correctly. Have you heard that the same person beats him regularly? A very cool coach from USA, Adam Fox, a black belt in BJJ, came to see us and during one of the classes he asked me to show this technique and honestly said that at that time , he didn’t know how to do it. Even though he knew a lot. I came to the training session and that day was in his place, showing North-South,” Reznikov told .
Reznikov made his MMA debut in 2011 and is currently on a 10-fight winning streak.
