3 Fundamental Collar Chokes You Should Know as a White Belt in BJJ

Gary Berger — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 15:00:09 +0000

What’s up guys,

In today’s video we’re going to review some 3 basic Collar Chokes that every BJJ White Belt should know from top & bottom!

This comes in response to a German viewer named Tina, who says:

“I’m new to Jiu-Jitsu and struggle with all the names of different submissions, especially the chokes…”

She was wondering if I had a video explaining the difference between the various chokes in the Gi.

Sadly, I did not have a video explaining this, but that’s what today’s video is for!

In this video we’ll talk about the Cross-Collar choke, Loop Choke, and the Baseball Choke.

I’ll also show you some different variations of these submissions, and a simple way you can apply them from both bottom and top position.

If you train BJJ and also find yourself forgetting the names of these chokes or are just curious about a few great basic chokes in the Gi, then I hope you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Finish More Collar Chokes & Armlocks with a Powerful BJJ Principle

Gary Berger — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 20:00:21 +0000

I got a BJJ question about collar chokes from Side Control. So in this video I share 2 of my favorite collar chokes from side control. But more importantly I share a principle that I use with chokes and arm attacks from every position.

The principle for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is incredibly simple to understand. But when you implement it into your game you’ll probably find that you finish both chokes and arm attacks with a higher rate of success.

If you’d like more details on the shotgun armbar be sure to check out the video series on the position here on the channel.

Happy submission hunting!

Finishing Collar Chokes for White Belts (Don’t Make These 2 Mistakes)

Gary Berger — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 19:30:05 +0000

There are 2 big mistakes I see people make when they’re trying to finish their collar chokes in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It’s something I did as a White and Blue Belt . . . to be honest, it’s something I’ve done even into the higher belt ranks. But especially at the lower ranks it was a problem.

So, in this BJJ technique video I’ll show you the simple corrections to these 2 common collar choke mistakes. By simply fixing these 2 errors you could possibly take your collar chokes that aren’t working now and making them effective during rolling.

I know this has been the case for me and my Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Oh and in case you watch the video and don’t understand the terms casting and reeling, I’m referencing the actions you use with a fishing pole.

Hope the video helps you with your training.

Easiest Control in Closed Guard

Gary Berger — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 15:00:29 +0000

Framing your elbow to your opponents chest makes it impossible for them to re-pummel their arm to create posture. This makes building attacks much easier.

5 Different Collar Chokes from Back Mount Using The Same Grip

Gary Berger — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 19:00:08 +0000

In today’s BJJ technique video I share 5 different collar chokes you can use in BJJ using the same grip on the lapel. I’m showing this series so that if you ever get to back mount and you have trouble finishing a collar choke you’ll have some other options to throw into the mix.

Now of course, this is not all of the chokes you could use, but it’s a handful to mix into your training and rolling.

I also give some useful tips on how to have a stronger grip for collar chokes in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, so pay attention to that detail on folding the lapel over.

Enjoy the video and happy hunting for your techniques on the mats.

My BJJ Collar Chokes Sucked Until I Learned These 3 Adjustments

Gary Berger — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 19:17:35 +0000

Today’s video is all about Cross Collar chokes in the gi and the small details that make them work in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

This technique video is partly an attempted to help my newer White Belt and Blue Belt BJJ practitioners. But also an attempt to share some useful details on making collar chokes (like the X choke) work from Guard.

You see for a long time with my Jiu-jitsu training I just didn’t have much success with collar chokes. I just figured they “weren’t my thing” or however you want to word it. But after picking up some small adjustments on the wrist, holding times and gripping the collar. Now I’m much more successful with collar chokes during rolling.

Hopefully the video will be useful to you and your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

Most Powerful Attack Series vs Strong Stalling Opponent

Gary Berger — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 17:39:25 +0000

A strong stalling opponent on both knees is one of the most annoying things to deal with in jiu jitsu. Often it can be hard to find the submission because your opponent pulls their elbows so tight, making triangles and Omoplatas very difficult, but this often brings their base down exposing the loop choke, this video I discuss the combo of mixing the loop choke with the collar sleeve. Let me know if you have any questions or requests.
