Also called Baseball choke

A Gi choke with both hands on the collar like a bat grip. You set it from knee on belly or side control and turn toward their head to close it.

Key steps

  1. Grip their collar near the neck with one hand, thumb inside.
  2. Put your second hand next to the first with four fingers inside, the reverse of the first grip.
  3. Pinch your elbows toward each other to tighten the collar.
  4. Turn toward their head, keeping your weight on them, until the collar closes.

Key details

  • Set both grips deep before you start turning.
  • Most of the tightening comes from rotating toward their head; arm strength alone seldom gets the tap.
