Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training information for everyone from the beginner to pro athlete.
Grappling and MMA superstar Shinya Aoki shows how to pull off a cool choke from the knees position. Not to be confused with the Peruvian necktie, the Japanese necktie is basically a rolling guillotine that kind of reminds me of a brabo or D' Arce choke except that you sit to the opposite direction.
Greg Jackson, a world-class MMA trainer based in New Mexico, breaks down an effective version of the arm bar from guard. The method he shows for isolating your opponent's arm by pummeling through with the underhook then clamping down on the arm right above the elbow is highly effective.
One of the first attacks that you learn as a white belt in jiu-jitsu is the back choke, also called the rear-naked choke (RNC). But the fact that it is so basic doesn't mean that it is ineffective or somehow "primitive."
On the contrary, the back choke is one of the most used techniques that you will see in MMA and also BJJ tournaments. While many types of moves define different styles (ie. leg locks in Sambo, arm locks in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, throws in judo) the rear-naked choke may be the most common submission among all these styles.
