Chokes Techniques
Learn the most effective choking techniques in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Chokes attack posture, breathing, and blood flow through control of the neck and surrounding structure. They are among the highest-percentage submissions because they can finish without requiring major strength.
A reliable choke starts before the squeeze. You need position, angle, and connection so the opponent cannot simply posture, turn, or hand fight out.
When learning chokes, focus on:
- Head and shoulder control before applying pressure.
- Clean grip placement or arm alignment.
- Slow pressure that removes space instead of sudden cranking.
- Immediate release when your partner taps.
Practice chokes with care. Technical precision and safety matter more than force.
