cross collar choke from guard

Birdman showed the white belts some particular details on the Cross Collar Choke at last year’s Origin Immersion Camp. This one will be included in the upcoming book on Fundamental Concepts and Techniques, as the Cross Collar Choke is one that will continue to be used through every level of Jiu Jitsu.

Rickson Gracie once famously used the Cross Collar Choke in a single tournament to submit multiple opponents, even telling them it was coming. He wanted to demonstrate that wehn a fundamental technique is done with precision, timing, and control, it doesn’t need to be fancy, it just works.

“I don’t know 10,000 techniques; I know a few, but I know them very well”.
