Who am I and WTF is a Moob Choke

I'll answer the first question first, I am Big Phil, I am a four stripe white belt under Braulio Estima. I fight in the Ultra Heavy Division which is 100.5Kg and above. I'm a slender 127Kg at the moment. I train at www.infinitefightingconcepts.co.uk which I have to admit is a horrible website but a good place to train, I found the place in 2007 where I started to learn JKD as my old house mate went there to train as well. after a couple of months a new class appeared and that was grappling and BJJ, I'd heard about BJJ and the Gracies from watching UFC's in my mates basement. I used to wrestle with my big brother when I was a kid and thought, sod it I'll give it a bash and fell in love with a new sport. A couple of months later, I moved out to spain for a few months, I wanted to train but the €100 euro's a month at Gracie Barra Marbella was too much for a unemployed me. I regret not doing one month there at least. While I was living out there I knew I had to fly back home after a few months because I could not sort my car off and it needed it's MOT, the timing coinsided with the Northern Open, so I decided to enter and took a well deserved bronze medal. I loved the experience and flew back to spain the day after.

When I came back I could not afford to train or if I could, I would quickly pick up an injury and be unable to train. I'd always make the effort to go to local seminars when I got the chance, Braulio was my first and second, on the second, Braulio told us that Ze Radiola, his teacher was holding a seminar in Birmingham the next day. So a few of us went down there and it was a great day. Then it was Lagarto, John Wills, Cecil Burch and Megaton. Each has influenced my game and my mind, I think mentally John Wills and Megaton the most.

So, before I randomly drivel on too much, I'll get to question two.

What is a Moob Choke?

Well, the Moob Choke is my secret weapon and the actual move shall remain a secret (until I figure it out). Where did it come from. I post on the EFN forum and someone decided to set up an account to flame me, and he set the account up so that I would not moob choke him. If you are unfamilier with the term moob, this is a man boob and I may have some due to being a little over weight.
