Choking Right from the Half-Guard

Gracie Barra is committed to bringing the knowledge and techniques from our black belts to the entire community. This video showcases a very effective collar choke from the half-guard. The technique is simple and can be done in less than 5 moves.

The collar literally means that you are choking your opponent out using your arms while clasping on the collar of his gi. Remember that a successful collar choke relies on two things: hand position and leverage. “Position before the submission,” as what the deities of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu would always tell us.
