Brabo Choke Series From Side Control

A 2 part choke series using the brabo grip from side control. It starts with a brabo choke and then leads to a few other attacks and controlling possibilities from the position.

    This is great, especially the brabo. I forget that option in the heat of the roll. Any advice or tips to transfer grips from one hand to the other? Do you wait for opponent to relax or is it a quick thing? Sometimes I get transfer but loose side (into half) or keep side but lose lapel on the transfer due to squirmy guy/girl.

      I almost always go knee on belly for the transfer. The pressure from the position seems to help the person “forget” about the grip. Right before I make the transfer I allow the initial grip to slide down towards the end of the lapel. This way my next grip with the other hand will be ultra tight and have no slack. I hope that makes sense. If not let me know. The grip transfer can be quick or slow. Really depends on the person I’m dealing with. If I can get the second grip right on the next, I rarely lose it. Even if I am unable to choke with it because the person defends I can always move to mount or look to attack the arms.

        Thank you. Yes, makes sense that I lose pressure on the transfer if I’m not on him b/c my chest is up for the needed space. I’ll work on the knee on belly. Bad habit admission time: I’m 5’10 195lbs so I’m not THAT big but bigger than most of my training partners and K-O-B kills them. So…what has happened especially as I’ve gone up in rank? I’ve gotten soft with K-O-B. Anyway, thanks for the vid and reply.

          I know the feeling . I’m always around 195-210 and I tend to be easier on some of the guys (unless it’s hard rolling time). I always feel bad putting knee on belly on a guy who’s 20lbs or more lighter than I am.
