Initiating The Clock Choke
We will demonstrate this move from right side control. First you want to gain right side control over your opponent. Once you’ve established that position control your opponents arm. It’s important to control his arms because if you don’t he will have an opportunity to defend against you or create an opportunity for himself to apply a submission on you from the ground.
Once you are pressed up against your opponent in side control; controlling his arms you want to scoot your hip out (break the hip) and extend your right leg out. Then you want to take your left arm and cup it under your opponents head. His head should be cupped between your inner elbow. With your free right hand grab onto his lapel and feed it to the left hand to grip. Be sure that your thumb is sticking inside his label and your four fingers are on the outside. This is a tight grip.
