"Unneecessary roughness is Necessary" sometimes. If it's a legal choke and it's effective than I don't see the problem.
There is no such thing as a legal choke.
This may not be MMA but every MMA fighter knows that a choke hold doesn't actually restrict the airway.
I assume this guy thinks he is an MMA fighter, and is probably teaching "MMA holds" to his wrestlers.
When you apply a choke in MMA your actually cutting off the blood flow to the brain by applying pressure to the artery on the side of your neck. When done correctly your opponent passes out due to restricted blood flow not restricted air.
Cutting off Blood Circulation is also illegal, even if done with a legal move.
I guess the question is when is unnecessary roughness necessary. Alex47 if it's legal and it's affective I don't see why you wouldn't teach it to your kids.
This guy is the reason I commented on Will's post earlier. There are people out there, like this guy, that have no idea what wrestling is. Just because they have a coaches card does not mean they should coach. I would like to know what club this guy is from, so when we wrestle them I can inform the official to watch out for illegal moves.
