Collar choke defense

Also called Gi choke defense

Gi collar chokes need two hands. Deny or break the first deep grip, and the second one has nothing to finish.

Key steps

  1. Keep your chin tucked and your hands near your collar.
  2. Grab their first grip at the wrist and pull it out of your collar.
  3. Block the second hand before it reaches your neck.
  4. Posture up or escape the position once their grips are broken.

Key details

  • Treat a hand sinking into your collar as an emergency and remove it immediately.
  • Once both hands are in, defending is much harder than stopping the first.
