How to actually successfully choke someone out with the cross collar choke from closed guard. Excerpt from https://www.grapplearts.com/closedguard The Closed Guard System, a step-by-step formula for developing a KILLER closed guard by Jon Thomas!

Two of the keys that Jon demonstrates in this video include getting your first grip in at the right angle, and then genuinely attacking with other attacks (sweeps, armbars, triangle chokes, etc) so that he breaks his defensive arm structure and gives you that opening to sink your second grip into position. I think this approach will allow you to finish a LOT more people with this classic choke.

Today’s video is all about Cross Collar chokes in the gi and the small details that make them work in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This technique video is partly an attempted to help my newer White Belt and Blue Belt BJJ practitioners. But also an attempt to share some useful details on making collar chokes (like the X choke) work from Guard.

You see for a long time with my Jiu-jitsu training I just didn’t have much success with collar chokes. I just figured they “weren’t my thing” or however you want to word it. But after picking up some small adjustments on the wrist, holding times and gripping the collar. Now I’m much more successful with collar chokes during rolling.

Hopefully the video will be useful to you and your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

This a small adjustment in the grip that I noticed while watching the Magid Hage vs Clark Gracie match. It has made an instant improvement in my baseball bat choke in half guard. I’ve been hitting it left and right ever since.

The key with baseball bat chokes though is that they are cross chokes. The grips are just reversed initially to conceal the threat, and then a correction is made by rotating the body.

And that’s not all.

One crucial rule of thumb is that you will significantly increase the leverage if you can get your head under theirs. In a half guard, shooting the head under their chin as you close your elbow just makes the finish vicious.

And small adjustments like that make a difference.
