5 Chokes Everyone Needs to Know (well, Five-ish anyway) | Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals

Patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu
These are five very important and useful chokes to know and have in your arsenal. This is the No-Gi edition and I will do a gi edition later. These are in no certain order, but very useful chokes and some variations of each are included as well.
In this video I show how to apply:
• Rear Naked Choke / Short Choke
• Guillotine: Standing, Guard, High-Elbow & Arm-In
• Arm Triangle with Darce and Anaconda Variations
• Triangle Choke
• Epstein Choke / No Gi Ezekiel
I hope you like these and get some usefulness out of them. Let me know in the comments if there are any that should be included in this list as well. Thank you as always for watching!

You gotta check out the video Jamie Kilstein did on the Epstein Choke and the sequel “The Cover-Up” So damn funny.

[@Thomas_Curiel09]

Epstein choke 🤣 that’s badass man. I’ve been surprising others with the punch choke and baseball choke lately, both are highly effective especially when as a white belt is doing them. 🙌🏼

Not only are you a practitioner but a great teacher and communicator! Please keep up the good work!

[@truthtold9084]

The way how Knight describes the movement and technique shows he’s a very good instructor. In NYC the majority of instructors don’t care; just roll and pay $250 a month without learning proper technique.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate that greatly. And that’s a damn shame anytime I hear about instructors who are lazy or uninvolved in their students’ understanding. They shouldn’t be teaching.

[@leshreddur]

As a wrestler in school, my go to move was the head and arm, and you showed exactly what I was taught. Perfect chokes, I'm getting choked just watching them LOL.

[@JamesLeeFilmmaker73]

The Epstein choke, should be title of the video - lol - great technique!

[@geofftsjy]

It's not an Epstein choke unless you got a check from the clintons in your back pocket

[@donaldmassaro7276]

I am 75 years old I love the stuff I wish that I got into it at an early age it's amazing what you can do especially if you needed in self-defense I've been to the ground a few times with a few skilled guysf

Thank-You very much! Due to injuries (spine, shoulders, removal of achilles tendon) I am not able to train very much. Your tutorials give me something to memorize so I can practice on a dummy. Greatly appreciated.

[@merkins87]

12 years on & I'm still finding useful adaptations to chokes. Thank you very much for this video!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Hey Everyone, you may notice that the video is stuck at 4 views for some reason (at the time I am typing this it has over 1000 views according to analytics). KZbin support said it should update in 24 hours. Just for those of you who were confused or curious. I have no idea why they are doing that, other than something about the algorithm or something. Weird occurrence but hopefully it will get straightened out. Thanks for watching!

[@mouthguardcomic]

That happens at my channel as well. However, KZbin support told me it is because no one is watching my videos! :-)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Hahaha. Well, I guess that’s another cause of this phenomenon. I’m sorry, I’ll watch your videos.

[@mouthguardcomic]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Lol! Thanks!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I'm not ruling that out as a possibility

[@adampsowden]

Dude, I watched this 4 times myself... So maybe they are just tracking my views... Great video. I'm going to choke some folks today.

[@DAIXINYI]

That punch choke variation from back control is genius, thanks for sharing.

[@user-wm4hr3cl8s]

as a beginner, it was really helpful, so thanks a lot! the way you frame the different techniques and grips really got me a step forward. I also didn't understand why my triangle choke isn't as strong as it sholud be, and you showed me why. great video!

[@apekillssnake]

That was always so cool when Chris Weidman did the choke from top, Matt Serra tells him, it was instant death and tap! I would like to see some information of actually pulling into the Guillotine and where is best to load on them. There is a lot of variation on that! I am never doing a square Guillotine and always trying to V them into the Choke! Basic for you, but good video nonetheless!
