Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ)

Def set up a cross collar(using the lapel tail) or baseball choke and when they defend you can attack the arm...or like @tundraconvert mentioned, there's the brabo choke there too.

Anatomically, if you are on their right side-
Switch grip to your right hand and go for the cross collar choke. They put their left arm up to defend, you use your left hand to drag that arm across their neck and drop your chest over that. Squeeze

 

I had to go find a video of that brabo choke in gi, now the lapel tail manipulation makes more sense.

 

Wahoo!

Hah I knew there'd be a BJJ thread in the OT forum here.

I'm still relatively new to Tacomas and BJJ; just awarded my blue a month ago. I'm a police officer and during the Covid shut down I asked one of my co-workers what BJJ was all about. We have a mat room at the PD and she seemed way too enthusiastic to roll up her direct supervisor. She was a purple belt at the time and rolled me up with ease. After 3 or 4 rounds I was gassed and she was barely breaking a sweat. I signed up immediately when the school opened back up.

For me the biggest advantage isn't the health but the mental benefits! I don't even care that I suck and started late in my 40's, I'm having a blast.

 

On Thursday’s for the past few weeks, we’ve been doing 10 five minute rolls after class. It really lets you know where your game needs improvement, and it builds up your cardio very well.

 

Knee on something (belly, sternum, floating ribs, etc); gi tail; choke is my new favorite top game. Baseball bat, X choke, if they roll and I end up on the far side from the gi-tail: paper cutter.

Thank you for that suggestion.

 

“she seemed way too enthusiastic to roll up her direct supervisor”

I was looking for the blue Tacoma thread and stumbled upon this thread! I’m a purple belt. Carry on, lol

5.75 months off to heal a rotator cuff tear (including surgery to reattach tendon to bone), and it feels good to be back.

 

at our gym we call that the Jerry juice treatment
