Stealthy Grip To Setup Baseball Choke From Side Control

One of the best lessons I ever learned to setup a choke using the gi lapel and collars is to hide your grips, or as I like to put it, be stealthy with them. Take your time so that your grips fly under your opponent's "radar" so to speak.

In this video I show a very common baseball choke from side control, but I show a small detail that you can use to make it easier. The key again, is to use a stealthy grip to setup the choke.

From side control you will get a loose grip on the back of the neck with your thumb. Then with the other hand that is going to go four fingers into the collar. Instead of grabbing the collar first, you slide your hand onto the person's chest. This allows you to get your hand into position without setting off a tripwire. Because the minute your grab the collar, the person will no doubt begin to defend.

Any person that has been training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for any length of time will start to become very defensive as soon as the collar is grabbed. So by not grabbing the collar until the very last moment where we are ready to attack with the choke and move from side control to north south. We minimize their ability to defend it.

So I hope this helps, and again a small takeaway from this is to be clever. Find new ways to setup old moves in BJJ. I've known this move since my second week of BJJ. But by adding this little grip change. It's been effective for me even against higher level opponents.

This is a great BJJ submission from side control and I hope the adjustment helps you with your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training!
