Turn your opponent over to give them a proper old choke.



1: With Riley down on his knees, Jimmy grabs his collar and belt.



2: Jimmy steps over Riley’s body with his left leg and takes back control.



3: As Jimmy rolls over Riley’s body, he hooks his left leg with his left arm.



4: Jimmy drives his left foot towards the mat to complete the roll.



5: With his leg trapped, Riley has nowhere to go. Jimmy pulls his elbow back to apply the choke.

TOP TIPS

WHITE BELT

Roll over your shoulder instead of your head to avoid injury.

BROWN BELT

The further up your hand is on your opponent’s collar, the quicker the choke will work.

BLACK BELT

If you’re struggling to finish this choke, you can put your right leg over your opponent’s face and switch your hands to apply an armbar.
