It is an "arm bar" , btw. Passing the guard is not intuitive for a wrestler
because of the direction of the next move - it has to be the opposite of the
way you do it wrestling. We mix in a lot of wrestling and take down sessions
so as to get a better workout.

Royce Gracie, the famed Ju Jitsu fighter from the Gracie family and school,
while known for a great number of victories by chokes, is a classic
Brazilian fighter who uses a number of submission holds. The best fight I
ever saw was when he defeated "Kimo" with an arm lock, but then Gracie
could not fight his next fight because he was winded.
Most chokes are often for a very short period of time and the fighter "taps
out", if he resists a true choke, he goes unconscious in way less than a
minute.
The average diver can hold his breath for longer than a minute, but he is
not usually "working" when he does this.
I have a many number of years of amateur wrestling at the jr high and high
school level and freestyle during the summer months, so I know more than
most. Though some Olympic wrestlers are doing very well in the fights that
are held now most are unable to pass the "guard" of Ji Jitsu fighting and
lack punching or kicking power to take out an opponent.
Once fighters found they only had to last the first 8 minutes of poor
punching from Olympic wrestler Mark Coleman while in the guard, they could
easily defeat him with kicks or punches.
