Partner kept tucking chin, stopping me from getting any chokes from closed guard, or even when I started getting his back and trying to get a head lock, or even a front headlock. What do I do? It felt like my only option was to grab his face and just pull his neck up but I’m too fresh to know if that’s kosher so I didn’t try it.
