Thanks! 🙏

tarikoplata is definitely a good option here. sometimes even this technique wont be enough to break the grip of a strong committed opponent. when they've gone all in on holding on to their after you've tugged on their arm a couple times, that's the best time to do the tarikoplata.

Appreciate it

Thanks!

like most gi chokes used in the street, you need a lot of thick fabric to make them work. So if you just grab the collar of a regular t-shirt, no it probably won't work. If you can bunch up their entire shirt and make a "rope" to hold on to you can probably get it to work. otherwise, there is a no-gi variation of this move i teach as well that you can do without using their collar. i believe i have a video for the no gi version of this move on my page as well if you want to look it up.

@@BJJ4Breakfastthanks! I tried the knee on belly option in this video and my opponent grabbed my left leg with his right arm (gripping my pants on my knee) and swept me over by stiff arming my leg up and over. Any tips for that or do I have to just execute faster?

Yes, there is a variation of the knee on belly set up i do about 50% of the time that works really good. Use your knee to kill their bottom arm as you step over the head. This prevents them from grabbing your leg and keeps them from countering. Its similar to the knee pin movement you do when spinning to a baseball bat choke from the knee on belly position, if that rings any bells for you.

Here is the knee pin technique i was talking about, but used in the baseball bat context rather than canto choke. But the application is the same. th-cam.com/video/0Y4hQXKipTY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v6DZ5miQSlQSzVL_

@ sort of like a brief staple?

You're welcome. That pass can be really frustrating if you don't know how to stop it.

Glad it worked for you! Yeah it is surprisingly effective. We use this technique as a warmup with one guy framing on his back and the other looking to circle and use N/S position to get chest to chest or force his opponent to turtle.

You mean sliding the bottom leg through/around and trapping their bottom shoulder/arm? Yes, switching it to a back take is always a good option, but if you really want to look for that no gi bow and arrow position, you can get them to bring that bottom arm back in by threatening the armbar or ezekiel choke with the gift wrap. They will usually bring that other hand back in to help defend both of those, and then you can bring your bottom leg through and trap the bottom shoulder. Give it a shot.

Same for me here.

This is a common problem at some BJJ schools unfortunately. It's just a shotgun approach. Teaching one random technique after another without any structure. I try to structure my lessons into "blocks" or "evolutions", taught over Mutiple weeks, so students get plenty of time to absorb what's being taught.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm always trying to balance content with channel growth.

yeah its sneaky and effective if you can pull it off.

You got it! Let me know how it goes!

I've found it very difficult to finish the canto choke from that position without switching your hands, but I wouldn't say it is impossible. Try both and see which works best for you, but switching the hands-off definitely works best for me. It allows me to get a better angle with my hips and apply more force with my hamstring.

@@BJJ4Breakfastjust tested it on my wife - I see what you mean! Cool, excited to try at tonight’s class. Thank you for sharing this

Glad you enjoyed it!

against anyone who knows what they are doing your going to be far too slow

Not double legs. But you can hit single legs. The mechanics don’t have to be all that different. Bend over and wrap your arm deep in the single leg and use your other hand to block their other leg/hip and then it’s traditional single leg finish, cut the angle and go.

Rest your knee bro, not worth training with an injury

A full double leg with a penetration step isn't the best idea of you have bad knees. you can look up videos on how to do power doubles from the standing position. Might work better for you with your knee issues.

@@atticustibbs2415 I somewhat have recovered. It's just that my knees are not able to do that :(

Awesome, let me know how it goes!

Yeah, it is really all about dropping your hips, shelving the leg and trapping that knee. Obviously, it won't be as pretty as when you drill it, but if you can keep their leg across your body and their knee trapped on your hip, you should be able to complete the pass.

It makes sure that you are dropping your entire body weight down and breaking their posture, and also gets you lower to the ground to have the best chance of reaching their heel. There are some versions of the ankle pick where you drop your back knee but keep your front knee up. If that works well for you that's fine. So long as you are dropping all your weight. However, sometimes keeping that front knee up will make it harder reach their ankle and also keep you from dropping all your weight down.

You never have to drop any knee for a take down. Especially in bjj. Takes you right out of the offensive position. ​@BJJ4Breakfast

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.

thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

Your right hand is neutral. No fist. Your pulling your right elbow down into the gap there so your right hand shouldn't be hitting the mat or your own body.

No problem!

Great. glad you liked it!

Amazing. Please do. Thank you for the support!

thanks. I try to focus on one position or move at a time so my students can get comfortable with it before moving on to something else.

Thanks bud. We need to do a crossover video for both of our channels!

@@BJJ4Breakfast whenever you're ready!

If the opponent is chin down in the direction of where the hand is placed, I tend to use my wrist on the opposite side of the chin, cut through from there to the grip (there's a Henry akins vid somewhere on it) but to buy myself time, I also tend to telephone the farside arm to keep that pinned as I work for the paper cutter. Mind you this is against other white belts such as myself so far so can't vouch if this works on higher belts

yes. this is the basic move. but the basic move rarely works past white or blue belt without a good set up. I usually set this choke up from a knee on belly. when they turn away from me to get away from my near side attacks I set my thumb in choking grip on their lapel, then I reach under their near arm with my free hand and catch the back of their collar and suck them back to make them flat. then I finish the choke form there. Ill try to do a vid on it.

@@BJJ4Breakfast That makes sense! A video would be much a appreciated!

You're welcome!

Thank you too!
