Gi Wrap Choke
Technique Set Up:
The best time to attempt this choke is when your opponent has his gi open, and/or you have stable control from top side control.
Technique Description:
- Maintain side control with your left arm under opponent's neck, applying shoulder pressure.
- Open the far side of your opponent's gi, and grab the bottom corner.
- Feed gi under opponent's left shoulder and then under their head, grasping the gi with your left hand.
- Knee on belly to tighten grip, which should be as deep (i.e. towards opponent's body) as possible leaving a lot of slack.
- Knee on belly again, this time switch grips so your right hand, palm up, grasps the end of your opponent's gi.
- Go back to maintaining side control.
- Feed your left hand under opponent's chin and grabbing, palm down, the handle created by gi cloth.
- Drive your elbow to the mat.
