JJU 3-3 to 3-4 Mounted Collar Choke Defense
Add to Favorites 2687 Remove From Favorites 4044 days ago
Saulo explains that you must turn towards the elbow of the attacking arm when your opponent establishes the mount and has one hand in the collar to choke you with the gi. This is a dangerous position because it is highly likely that your opponent will be able to finish a choke if you allow them to settle two collar grips. As soon as they establish one collar grip, immediately turn towards the attacking elbow to nullify the choke and buy some time to make an escape.
