@therbertme Jup, fortunatley gouging is forbidden in BJJ. A counter-choke is unlikely since gravity is working against you, however it might be difficult to finish this choke if your opponent spins clock-wise since you have weak controll of his body.
@therbertme you'll be lights out in a couple of seconds. If done right, this is such a tight choke (from experience on the receiving end from numerous purple/brown belts). I guess if you are theoretically prepared for this choke that you wanted to do an eye gouge - but once ur nighty night, that guy whose eye u just gouged - he's prob going to be pretty pissed ... and ur still asleep...prob not wise...
@ghemminger1 I concur, this choke sucks to be on the receiving end. You might get an eye gouge in if they just sit there and dont do shit, but otherwise its best to try and escape. You can also get your clavicle easily broken if they apply enough pressure. Also, once they get twist, this choke is so agonizingly painful you're gonna want to tap
"some people call it a baseball choke... but i fuckin' hate baseball!!"
kurt... you are a riot dude lol. i saw you down at the american cup this weekend and i will never forget you hollering out, "go back to wrestling AJ!!" after AJ sat in side control for the win. that was funny lol. i can always appreciate a good, warped sense of humor.
i appreciate the videos, too bro. keep up the good work and keep smiling :)

everyone else calls it baseball but this guy calls it the spin... Baseball choke can be done in guard and standing up... So spin doesn't aply ... but baseball grip does. So fuck spin! it's caled BASEBALL CHOKE!
When you jump to knee on belly with your hand gripping the back of the collar you have to hit the choke fast because I got countered with this by a guy who put both his hands right above my elbow and pulled in. A very fast counter that can really wreck and elbow fast.
He should base his head out on his right side next to his opponents rib cage to prevent the slight chance of him spinning and recovering half guard...
When pressure is being added to throat, it's a little difficult to think of an escape.
If anything, the one being put into the choke have their hands free for almost anything... inlcuding gouging at the eyes, tugging the ear, or relieving pressure on the hands choking them.

I have an Aikido background and respect your sport. I also don't know much about Jujitsu.
Doesn't the end of this move leave your face too open to the opponents hands. Tothe point where an eye gouge or choke could be applied back at you?

my friend calls this one a katana choke (because of the baseball bat grip) or Lightsaber/Jedi choke because they dont see it coming.

The guy in the clip doesn't stand up. What he does is he spins and then does a choke. That's all there is.
You know there are many names for the same stuff. Grow up and get used to it.

you are quite correct imo.
also the dude on the bottom will be bucking his hips into your face which could in fact create some space for an escape.

Nice tutorial. Even though I too hate baseball, love the choke. Was hitting baseball chokes on purples as a white belt.
Good stuff.
