brazilian jiu-jitsu brabo choke from halfguard

[HauntedByMe]

Awesome, thank you! I will try this

[Nomad22280]

any one that allows this is a moron and should even be in competition fighting/grapling

[blakelandes]

What is gi?

[BadAssBlackOverlord]

@blakelandes Its a penis enhancement pill. Very useful for jiu-jitsu since size makes a difference.

[3Daver]

cool variation - going to try this tonight in class ;)

[migraine516]

These chokes hurt like a motherfucker.

[weedpussymoney321]

Isnt this the ezekiel choke n u can do it simply enough without jacket n just using arms

[yamashitashorinryu]

That choke is nice. Could you shoot an alternate view from the side so we can see how your controlling the body with your knees? It looks like when you come up to pass the gi top under his head you open up space- great choke and a great feint for the lock. Nicely done.

[zekaio123]

People on the streets walk with guns, knifes , all kinds o stuff that can hurt , this is a sport not a street figth .

But i can tell that if you fight a Jiu Jistu guy with or without gi , without ground fight knowledge , you will get your ass whooped

[angrysincebirth]

nice choke!

[ADdadirector]

That was the worst introduction to date.

[crazycollins]

gi training works, i'm just not a fan. if someone grabbed my shirt in a comp for a choke i'd just rip it off, i've done it before. it is only a handicap if you don't train without one as well.

[martinods]

The gi tightens up your technique.. not everything is about fighting on the street ..

[GsxR750Speedemon]

One of my favorites! I like to do it from side control and finish from knee to belly

[albertpatrick87]

One good variation is to let the opponent roll towards you to defend the attack, so that he will let his own arm to fall into your trap. This certainly will improve the tightening of the choke. Another one is to let him go for turtle position, keep your crossed-lapel arm with the first grip, reach to it over his shoulders and pull him to your chest. Tell me what you think about that later. Greetings from Brazil, great vids! =)

[Br0wnrice]

Ken, I've seen a lot of your videos and I think you're awesome! lol I'd love to visit your school. Where do you train at?

[balg03]

@Br0wnrice Wilmington DE..come 1 come all, open door policy for the best training in the area

[ph33ric]

how do u get his arm in position.

[MartinezMuayThai]

Kore Namae wa Kimono Gyaku Kata Gatame

[YuppItzCorey]

Stop arguing about gi vs. no gi. Who cares, just do the sport. You have a preference if you want a gi or not so you decide, don't try to force others on what to do.

But yes, you can do more in a gi since you can hold onto it and use it against them for chokes.

[MrMaynard77]

@YuppItzCorey agreed

[stevemarce1988]

Kata Gatame is an arm triangle choke and strangle. So Brabo falls under Kata Gatame according to Doctor Jigoro Kano. Learn the move...and realize all of the variations...

[Elipticle]

thts stupid that you can grab someones gee like that and use that against them.

[AndrewCopland]

Man that was great! I saw a video of Draculino teaching a similar idea last week and it worked well, but I think this might be an even simpler way to get it. Awesome!

[stevemarce1988]

Look at the mechanics of Sode...and then compare them to this (totally wrong title (which was my point) ) vid...think...

[cryingindian]

@stevemarce1988 if it was to be named it could possibly be called ushiro katagatame. But its not just katagatame

[stevemarce1988]

It is NOT Kata Gatame (Brabo, etc.)...it is closer to Sode...

[bsimms1965]

seems like his hips are high...how do you prevent the bottom from recovering guard? seems like he could easily insert his inside knee to recover position...thoughts?

[01jiujitsu]

Nice choke.

[stevemarce1988]

Sode Guruma NOT Kata Gatame (Brabo)

[loudenvier]

This can't possibly be sode-guruma-jime as the sode (sleeve) was not even used. The arms are crossed in standard juji style. This is simply kata-juji-jime from the side. Nonetheless, it is not this thing called "brabo" choke, which, by the way, I didn't yet identified as a technique in its own accord...

[afreiden]

lol wat

[cryingindian]

@stevemarce1988 lol a brabo choke is NOT kata gatame

[Mihail19861986]

ben stiller

[killerkowalczyk]

you could never do all of those things in sequence to sink that in, this is something that you get lucky with or happens to work out by accident.

[JawBreakerJimmy]

u are an idiot

[gomelo2gt]

in a street fight i agree the adrenaline would not allow one to remeber that move, but in a compettion your out of your mind and you obviously have never done bjj

[killerkowalczyk]

no, I practice traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu (blue belt about 3 months out from brown belt) equivalent to a BJJ purple belt right now. Im not saying it cant happen, but there are ALOT of steps, and the situation would have to be almost perfect for it to happen. Besides, a truely good practitioner shouldnt have to think while grappling, you body/muscle memory and feel is what makes submissions successful. Also 0:57 and 1:07 are very suspect/lucky situations. Thanks for replying intellectually.

[killerkowalczyk]

by 0:56 I mean the transition from one hand to the other and by 1:06 I mean the push. Both of those things are dependant upon the uki. I mean to transition like he did while actually grappling would never happen, lets be honest

[gomelo2gt]

Well JJJ is not similar or the same thing as Bjj so you being a blue belt will not automatically qualify you as being a purple belt, i don't know where you got that notion from (no disrespect)

Its like saying just because one does tkd they are good in muay thai. Its too different arts.

Now i have seen black belts pull those sub in tournaments where they use the lapel in the gi to choke somebody ill post a link if you want. and if you wonder i do practice mma including bjj, in new york.

[killerkowalczyk]

I wasnt saying that my blue belt is the equivalent to a BJJ purple belt technique wise, I was saying it as a reference to the time Ive put into training 3.5 years now. JJJ is the same as BJJ, however both styles focus on diferent aspects, BJJ focusing more on groundwork, and JJJ being a little more all encompasing. I also train Pankration and from time to time I try to pick up a Judo lesson from the guys we share a gym with. I train in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

[gomelo2gt]

Okay that explains a lot. but one thing you do know that BJJ and judo are the same not JJJ and BJJ.

A Judoka from japan went to brasil and taught judo to the Gracies which they eventually revolutionize the art by taking out katas focusing more on the ground game, etc.

Japanese Jui Jitsu has nothing to do with BJJ and is very different.

Technique wise you might find similarities but in the approach everything else is different.

[killerkowalczyk]

Totally agree with you. I guess what you could say I train is really a hybrid JJJ, Pankration, MMA. Grading is for JJJ belts however. I could honestly care less about belts, Ive been beaten by and beat black belts while grappling, once you have a certain amount of training and expereince a belt really means nothing.

[Samboussr]

get your info straight, Gracie was taught judo Kodokan, not Jiu Jiutsu, Carlos Gracie has never finish with is NEWAZA. Look the fight between

Kimura vs Helio Gracie. Helio got his ass kick the man did know how to pass the guard and more, Sensei Kimura teach him a lesson.

[muddychucks]

@Samboussr  what was the weight difference between kimura and helio?

[Samboussr]

The point is BJJ or GJJ has nothing to do with Japanese JJ or Judo Kodokan or Kosen Judo.

in this video this guy is demo, the tech, we call in Japanese Sode Guruma, simple choke! nothing special about it!

[loudenvier]

I would not call it sode-guruma-jime as there was no use of the sode (sleeve). It looks like a crossed choke, standard juji-jime, more specifically kata-juji-jime, from the side. Now, BJJ (or GJJ) has lots to do with Kodokan Judo, as Mitsuyo Maeda was a Kodokan Judoka (a 4th degree black belt), and he was the one that taught the Gracie... So, there's a direct link between both arts.

[Samboussr]

you should try Kosen Judo 100% NEWAZA Ground Fighting

[axeboavida]

nice choke but why is a blue belt demostrating on a brown belt?

[JawBreakerJimmy]

i believe that was explained

[ligeirinhoweb]

essa eu faço direto

[geobros]

you probabbly dont want to choke people in a street fight if they dont know about bjj I think they would think you are trying to murder them...I know a bjj guy who choked someone who doesnt know it and the guy shit his pants.... literally

[EVILTRIPS666]

Umm. it's him or you dude, who gives a fuck if you scare them. they will be lucky if you don't fuckin' kill them... damn right they should be afraid.

[powerone1]

The reasons you gave for not wanting to choke someone in street fight, are the very reasons you would want to choke them; game over. :)

[cacaboy900]

boo.....yeah cuz everyone walks around with a GI daily...

[MPA2000]

I can't see this being performed in competition, much less the streets. I would like to see this guy's competition where he subbed a using this choke.

[Smuggler89]

Its a brabo choke you fucking idiot, a basic jiu jitsu choke performed in competition all the time. This is a good demonstration too.

[MPA2000]

No kidding how about wating even longer after I already got my answer?

[JawBreakerJimmy]

happens all the time noob

[MPA2000]

Nah.

[nickynoneck]

not in a competition ?? why wouldnt ?

[SeanyW1888]

pretty terrible

[mindtrikz12]

i dont like gis

ther really unrealistic

[kenprimo]

what can you do no gi that you cant do with gi or jacket on the street? gi or jacket has more options, no...?

[mindtrikz12]

but applying it in real life or mma competition u dount c guys walkin in the street with gis

but ur rite gi does giv more variation

[NoPalePastels]

In real life. people are not walking around in nothing but tapout shorts either.

[cdub6969]

But people do walk around with jackets and zip ups all the time ;-)

[Chrisdaehan]

@NoPalePastels the video itself show that the technique is for jiu jitsu only pourposes. didnt mean like this will help you when a cop busted you during a meth trading transaction hahaha but at least the comment make me laugh anyway

[NoPalePastels]

Great point!

[laokon]

@kenprimo yes and no, don't forget nogi takes oportunities to get grabbed, means gives the oponent opportunities.

[laokon]

@kenprimo yes and no, don't forget nogi takes oportunities to get grabbed, means gives the oponent opportunities if you have a jacket (sorry, didn't finish my first post, wasn't fully awake -_-)

[asdfero]

@kenprimo totally agree with you, even shirts can help for chokes

[ghotter]

@kenprimo what if the fighter takes of his shirt or jacket...i dont fight with my shirt on. just because the less they can grab the better. so NO is the answer!!!

[telosd]

@kenprimo when the gracie started this thing, people wore suits... that's why the use of the gi... to simulate the suits..

[BlackNinjaStrength]

@mindtrikz12 - Most streetfights happen naked...

[pcfixdepot]

@mindtrikz12 no gi's arent realistic. People wear long sleeves jeans or jackets. Also, I train both, its easier for me to take off my gi and go no gi. You cant just put one on and go gi.

[Arcturistheballer]

@mindtrikz12 sweatshirt = gi

[serdgeedgerunner]

@mindtrikz12 everybody wear cloth, so gi is actually very real. no-gi is more for MMA show

[zimmermandk]

@mindtrikz12 unrealistic for what?

[guitargod01lovesBJJ]

pardon me if may look ignorant with this question; what if the blue gi guy blocks with his right hand/arm?

[guitargod01lovesBJJ]

looks nice but isnt that difficult to execute in a real bjj fight?

[scotty742]

I was taught this at a seminar, but forgot the move. Thanks for reminding me.

[imnotbad9]

Learn to submit people without a gi noob.

I hate people that rely on gis.

[crozsi]

Same here

[RicardoAlvarado415]

ur a noob gi is just as important

[OsamaBinLadenx]

how do u apply it with no gi? grab ur own hand and use that as the force to apply the choke?

[callowayman]

Very nice submission. I like the fact that it is a counter to a previous submission defense

[NCrun4fun]

Then you can't use the brabo choke.

[smurfbjj]

Really? I don´t think so.

[NCrun4fun]

You can use the brabo it's just different with no gi. You can't feed the lapel.

[NCrun4fun]

The brabo is basically an artery choke. YOu can use the lapel or the forearm.

[irbb07]

what if there not wearing a gi?

[Hector2028]

Great setup. with no gi you can still start the same way. When he feels the threat then you smash the arm down and go for typical brabo chocke.

[rickyhurtado]

Kendall grove did this in one of his fights and tapped the guy. It works.
