North-south choke

A choke from north-south that needs no Gi. Your arm wraps the neck from above, and the side of your torso closes the other side as you sink down.

Key steps

  1. From north-south, move their arm on your choking side out of the way.
  2. Wrap your arm around their neck so their head sits under your armpit.
  3. Lock your choking hand to your other hand or wrist.
  4. Kick your legs back, let your hips sink, and lower your chest to finish.

Key details

  • Keep your hips low and heavy; posting up gives them room to turn in.
  • Their arm on the choking side needs to be clear, or it blocks the choke.
