How to read it
What this entry helps you see
The cross collar choke from mount uses your body weight and two deep collar grips to close a strangle. Mount gives you a stable base to set the grips. It is a controlled submission. Establish both grips before applying any pressure, and release on any tap.
Key steps
- From mount, keep a low base and feed your first hand deep into the near collar, thumb inside.
- Thread your second hand under the first and grip the opposite collar.
- Bring your elbows down toward the mat and widen them slightly.
- Lower your chest toward the partner to close the space.
- Apply the strangle slowly and release on any tap.
Study cues
- Take the first collar grip deep while keeping your base
- Thread the second hand under the first
- Drop your chest and draw the elbows toward the mat
Common errors
- Reaching for grips while the base is unstable
- Setting shallow grips that slip
- Pulling with the arms instead of dropping your weight
