LAPEL CHOKE FROM THE BACK: step by step in jiu-jitsu

SUBMISSIONBACK CONTROL · ON TOP

Step by step

  1. From the seatbelt, the hand coming over the shoulder enters deep at the neck; this is the hand that will choke.
  2. Use the bottom hand to open the lapel and feed it to the top hand, without trying to choke from the armpit side.
  3. The hand that made the feed is now free and grips the opposite lapel.
  4. Make the first adjustment: one lapel pulls down and the other to the side while the top hand twists the gi with its wrist.
  5. Fall to the side of the arm that is under his armpit, keeping both grips.
  6. He reacts by holding your arm to stop the choke from tightening.
  7. Step the top leg on the ground, hip escape and push his body further down.
  8. Pass your leg over the defending arm and close your legs, leaving that arm trapped.
  9. Pull one lapel down and the other to the side, twist the wrist and keep the pressure until he taps.
