North South ('diving board') Choke with Scott Marker

[ColdDeckz]

This is one of my favourite chokes although i use a different method which i find much more effective. Go watch Jeff Monson north south choke after i saw that video iv been catching people in every session including my sensei for the first time... Yep i subbed a bjj black belt.. not bad 4 a white belt whos only been doing bjj for 6 months!!

[bigtaree]

that seems like a good move, but I don't think he was the best person at explaining it tho. Think im gonna try it next bjj class :)

[Clinterus]

That poor guy kept tapping, but he still kept choking him for a bit.

Still, awesome video!

Can't wait to try this out.

[ASadisticPerson]

he's in trouble... lolz. great vid!

[texascowboy088]

Sir, you are AWESOME!!!! I got a submission today with your North-South choke while rolling with an advanced bjj guy... Everyone was like "what was that"? "SUBMISSIONS 101 BABY"!!! I love the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote btw... Thanks again bro!!

[bigwhitedevil73]

That's a great choke! I never know what to do from there.

[1DangerMouse1]

The problem is that for self-defense or even for grappling, all he has to do to releave the pressure is the push on your head/neck. That's why he should have showed people to get their head to the SIDE of the person's body and arms after securing the choke position... otherwise, you could end up losing the choke pretty quickly. In a self-defense situation, you could get eye gouged. The choke/crank works, but you need to protect your head more for these reasons.

[Govegeda]

@1DangerMouse1 Sound advice. Gonna try it out in sparring tomorrow.

[Cogings]

Love Scott Markers videos! Always got great tips for every move in the book!

[DonaldTrump3]

I love MMA

[gratesaga]

im gonna try it like this. ive been trying to finish it wit the arm in. any tips on how to do it wit an arm in like north south arm tringle

[myGangstaz]

@gratesaga I've finished someone from north south with an arm in choke, all you have to do is roll your opponent on his side and push your weight into his armpit area to sink in the blood choke.

[fatguyonthc]

I have always found this both too easy to defend and too hard to finish. If I stick my chin right into one of their ribs it makes plenty of space to just relax and wait for their arms to get tired. It seems to go the same way when i try it as well. At least against a blue belt or higher. Monson uses it so well because he is actually a human/bull hybrid.

[jetttomaing]

seems a bit dangerous for the neck..

nice move...

[cheesetoochalk]

I jus googled him, apparently he is a business genius as well.

[chetownboy]

that helps me so much. i always find i land in N/S position and i never had an effective submission to execute

[darkrahnoehk]

very nice video

[Halfredneck001]

His partner's gi looks like it's suede...a suede gi...hmmm, marketing idea!

[TonytheAsian538]

scott marker, you are AWESOME!! thank you sooo much for your videos. they're informative and always interesting to watch and learn from.

[risingxforce]

what a charming man :)

[bgflounder]

Scott! thanks a lot, man, now my favorite choke is on everyone's radar, haha. great video man. i particularly like the setup with the knee instead of arms.

[scottord]

Excellent instructional *and* instructor, keep them coming!

[CaptAdams35]

we had a similar move in the Navy, but we did it standing and from their 6. It's like a guillotine choke, but from behind. You step on the back of their knee and as they are going down you wrap their neck and lock then lift. The submission is instantaneous with no means of escape.

[dobberdoss]

nasty, simple and effective

[gamefinisher21]

wow. really good lesson video. good job submissions101 :)

[YousefNjjr]

T _ T, thank you so much : D!!

[ShinkaTV]

neat

[skaterkidhma]

great video. i was wondering of u could also make a grip like u would on a rear naked

[Firecrotch6979]

He does a good job explaining it. I'd like to see an escape from that submission.

[TommyGun7111]

i love these videos, they always have perfect technique

[Zttbm]

Nice gi!

[santi781]

in pride both of you would be eating knees from that north south...

[matrix1951]

How does that compress the inside carotid artery? I see that the elbow side is compressed but the other side is confusing to me, Thanks 

[fadikhawaja]

Poor guy at the end had to go through a long sub, you could tell from his face :-)

[chavamma]

@fadikhawaja LOL yup, I like for my Sensei to call me out for a demo but I sometimes regret him calling me... haha

[KJGould]

A nice variant is the north-south arm triangle. Similar application with your head next to their shoulder/arm.

[drawanime]

awesome submission man, wait for more vids :)

[aceofclubs546]

North-south choke?

[bernd9000]

have a great day, too.

greetings from GER

[skybite95]

this is GOOD.

[AreYouReady990]

Is what you are doing not called the North South Choke

[prebirth91]

@AreYouReady990 yeah just like it says in the title

[GrittyMcCheese]

@prebirth91 Title was edited. It previously just said "Diving Board Choke"

[Submissions101]

@GrittyMcCheese we added north south to the title (it is already on the video itself)

[GrittyMcCheese]

@Submissions101 Yep that's what I said.

[prebirth91]

@GrittyMcCheese ah ok. yeah some people call it the morrison choke as well

[Submissions101]

@prebirth91 Monson after Jeff Monson

[prebirth91]

@Submissions101 haha fuck, yeah i couldn't think of it. but that's what i was trying to say

[Irondog333]

my poor brother, my unwilling submissions partner.

[xNAFoRcEzZ]
