Roger Gracie Teaches his Cross Choke from Mount

[marichalallal]

all my respct for brazilian teachers they teach from heart by details, unlike japanese teacher u never get his point!!

[Vazquez71]

man.. if roger gets the mount ...its over.. your getting choked out...

[CuellarDesi]

LOL i love how they start playing "forgot about dre" once he starts working the collar choke aahahahha

[kanguesso]

The only thing i have trouble with this choke from the mount position is preventing my opponent from bumping me off of his by using the bridge and roll technique. I do everything right, or so i think, but when i get the second grip on my opponent's collar, he just bridges all the time and ends up in my guard. Now i know i can still finish the choke from there but it's much easier for my opponent to defend it, help anyone?

[difeco17]

@kanguesso fix your weight distribution. when the second hand goes inside, remember to place your head on the mat. keep your knees tight also...anyway, ask your trainer, he should know better

Also, the detail at 2:02, how he pushes the head to create space for the arm (a very nice detail, I'm stealing that :D), is not allowed in Judo. You are not allowed to push an opponents head or face, so stop comparing BJJ to Judo, it's a completely different ruleset and game.

[kanguesso]

@eugen1225 Thanks, my trainer was choked out via cross collar choke from the mount by Roger Gracie at the World BJJ Championships.

[eugen1225]

Judo guys...The point here is in details of an "old" technique, not some groundbreaking new technique. This is also the difference in BJJ and Judo, while you learn some of the same techniques, the attention to details on the ground is much greater in BJJ than in Judo. This is a fact, because ground-game is almost inexistant in competitive judo, hence trainers don't accord a lot of time to ground techniques. It's the same reason why a lot of BJJ practitioners aren't good on their feet.

Roger is amazingg hes beaten all my fav grapplers and has never been submitted. That is amazing. I just wish he knew how to speak english :( i mean he has an english name. Haha

[ninjamurf]

@DARQMX He does speak English (and his academy is in London) but this seminar was in Portugal.

[KatameDo]

BJJ Gold? This is just a Kata-Juji-Jime.

It's been around much longer than BJJ.

[luizsacchi]

@KatameDo It's BJJ gold, because it's the specialty of the greatest jiu jitsu competitor of all time, being taught by the man himself. No one said he invented it though, you should read more carefully next time, buddy.

[exocet1985]

@luizsacchi Thats right, this guy is the michael jordan, muhammad ali, pelé etc. of BJJ. But who else than a member of the gracie family should it be...

[MrMZaccone]

@KatameDo Yeah, and Masahiko Kimura's ippon seoinage was just ippon seoinage, what's the big deal right? While we're at it, Apollo 11was just a rocket, Einstein was just a mathematician, and your mother was just another piece of ass.

[juliangraypace]

@KatameDo

people like this are always classic.

[TheChoada]

@KatameDo douche

[LJSJIUJITSU]

@KatameDo

It's the way he does it man that makes it so special. That cross collar choke is a real difficult submission to get on a good opponent.

[RightWingCon81]

He doesn't go as deep with the first hand as I thought he would. I've always heard to reach for the tag to go in as deep as possilbe which is tough when mounted, and if Roger is doing it that shallow, I'm going to take his word for it. Going to try to hit this more.

[mtWHITE100]

is he pressing his dick on his neck ewww

[Spacejezuz]

You don't need subtitles to see what he is doing. 

[migraine516]

I thought I was being trolled. Subtitles really do work.

[ViviLds]

Just letting ppl know that the CC worked for me too.

;)

[TheG1NGAN1NJA]

The beauty is in its simplicity.

[notyorkhakis]

captions aren't working for me, when I hit the cc button the little exclamation point just pops up. Thoughts?

[luizsacchi]

@notyorkhakis Same here man, something changed on Youtube's end, noticed this in other videos as well.

I'll look into it when I have some time.

[notyorkhakis]

@luizsacchi at least the transcript still works, thanks for posting this by the way! pure gold

[luizsacchi]

@notyorkhakis Updated Flash Player, it's working now.

[skamootie]

Man that is absolute BJJ Gold. The detail in there is priceless. My favourite competitor without a doubt. Cheers for posting.

[letsgodudes]

king mo??

[Svittidiu]

I bet Roger is a huge ladies man. I wonder how many ladies has he bedded.

[Dungarth]

@Svittidiu ...When you get as dedicated to Martial Arts as Roger has been, you don't really have time for sluts and crap from the ''trash world'' you zone out and you are disciplined.

[powerpunch2]

@Svittidiu hes married with a little boy

[GBMdavid5]

If you move your hand more to te right it makes this choke more effective imo

david

[MrMichaelEdie]

To hell with all these fancy gard systems and flying rubber nelsons! It's all about the fundamentals!

[fcs77]

[Aphexexmachina]

[matrix31003]

Thanks a lot for the vid man.

[luizsacchi]

@davidpawlus Dude, there are subtitles. It says so right in the description, just activate the CC function in the bottom right of the video.

[candidomoryt]

@davidpawlus Helo David, there is subtitle on this video.

[kimble09]

thanks for sharing!!

[luizsacchi]

@kimble09 No trouble!

[therealgeeza]

Roger Gracie -> nothing fancy, but the best ever. 

[slideyfoot]

Thanks for the link, Dan: interesting stuff.

[staff72]

SWEEEET, Luiz and Thanks Dan for pointing me in the right direction!

[luizsacchi]

@staff72 Glad you liked it.

[TrumpetDanBJJ]

...all from me. j/k

kinda..

[luizsacchi]

@TrumpetDanBJJ I have watched it a bunch of times myself, really paying attention to how he grips and stuff.

[delaseoul87]

@luizsacchi, yeah, I find it interesting that he has one palm facing in, and the other facing out... i learned it both palms facing in (towards your body).

[UmDiaEuFicoBom]

@delaseoul87 You can do the choke with both palms facing in, both facing out or one in each direction, with very similar set ups. In japanese they have different names for those: nami juji jime, kata juji jime and gyaku juji jime, though I don`t remember which one is which...

[luizsacchi]
