Top side no-gi baseball choke ⚾ instructional video.
.
One of the key elements of the submission game, and in battles in general, is distractions. If you want to choke – attack the arm. If you want to conquer the north – attack from the east.
If you attack in a linear way, it is very easy to defend one attack. But when you chain attacks and attack from multiple directions – it gets very hard to defend everything at once.
.
The baseball choke is kind of a nasty choke. You get inside it fast and it almost crashes the neck upon entry, even before the actual pressure. It is very surprising and if you get caught with it, you’ll probably go home with a sore throat. It has a bad name – but it is important to know.
.
In the end position, you can move to a sort of Kesa Gatame position to increase the pressure. A lot of instructors teach like that. I personally don’t like it, because if the person is tough, he can endure the pain long enough to get up and reverse the position (because you don’t have a base at the back and you lean backwards). Especially as a small guy that is easier to sweep.

Have fun with it and keep your partners safe!.
