Today we get a question coming from a BJJ White Belt named Scott.

He says that he rolled with his coach a few months ago, just flowing and feeling good about the roll, but a few months later they rolled again…

This time his coach put it on him. Smashed him: submitting him constantly in the round without giving an inch to Scott.

He says that he felt really discouraged after the round, but his coach gave him some serious words of encouragement after the smashing. Still, it stings.

He asked why his coach would beat him up so bad on the practice mats and wonders what he gains from being smashed so badly by his coach?

In this video I’ll give you my perspective about what’s going on, especially if I were the coach in this situation working with Scott (but of course I could be wrong)

During one of our takedown BJJ classes. We covered the Clock Choke from the Turtle position. I showed this technique during a takedown class as it can often be used together with a snap down from the feet.

After class one of my BJJ students had a few questions regarding the Clock Choke and the 2 variations we did.

In the video you’ll see some subtle changes from his original choke and the 2nd he did.

In his case, he wasn’t placing proper hip pressure on me. But most importantly. His first grip, the kill grip, was off a little.

Once we adjusted his initial grip. He was set and ready to go.

If you’re trying to use the Clock Choke in Brazilian Jiujitsu. I hope this video helps you in some way.

If nothing else I hope it helps you realize the importance of the first grip. Once that grip is establish in the Turtle position. There are a ton of finishes, adjustments and attacks even if you don’t get the Clock Choke itself.
