If you’re looking to add a new submission to your gi game then look no further. The loop choke has a lot of little details that make it effective, but once you get those down you’ll have a versatile submission that can be caught and finished from a variety of positions.
In this week’s video Kenneth Brown, a jiu-jitsu black belt whose lineage includes Mike Moses and Pedro Sauer, talks through a couple can’t-miss details of the choke, how to set it up, and how to finish it. He stresses the importance of the proper lapel grip, head positioning, and securing the head the same way you would with a guillotine.
If you’re ever in the Laurel, Maryland you can drop by one of his classes at 2nd Gear Jiu-Jitsu. In the meanwhile, if you’re looking to add even more submissions to your arsenal you can check out this Bow & Arrow choke by Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida.
