How to Apply TIGHTEST Rear Naked Choke for MMA/BJJ

[@aironbutspeltcorrectly3551]

This is a super useful tip. Thanks Johnny Sins!

[@blueshell8899]

Airon Hirst that’s a good one

[@theoneandonly2359]

No problem

[@bellatibay6784]

a few differences why johnny sins can never be this guy: -this guy wears a gi. johnny sins is more interested in "no gi" (both "no gay" and "being naked"). -the expert in this video is an expert in "rear naked chokes," johnny sins is only an expert in naked rear chokes (rimming?).

If you do this wrong as he showed (with forearm across the opponents wind pipe instead of crux of elbow) you can kill someone by crushing and causing spasms in the wind pipe. This is why the police choke hold is mostly banned now after some unintentional deaths.

So I did judo for over a decade and al together bjj for about 2 years, forgot most of it though, and this was the most descriptive rear naked choke instruction I have ever seen. I like the distinction between the blood and air choke.

[@Wodenseyes]

I’ve been a bouncer/bartender for 10 years now. Been about 12 times I’ve had to give a crazy guy a nap. Every single time, everyone around was so horrified I was going to kill them. I always keep it less than 60 seconds. Unfortunately there are some HUGE men that are extremely dangerous sometimes that get drunk at bars and start attacking. I’d much rather jump onto his back and put him to sleep this was rather than punch him or hit him in the head till he passes out. I never used your method of anchoring the left arm into the back before you cross your arms. And I have def fucked up and didn’t have my forearm in the right position a hand full of times like you mentioned in the end. I always noticed they struggled so much harder when I messed up like that. It makes sense too ofc. Thanks for the info brother

Absolutely perfect explanation of the classic choke, grandmaster level

[@oobert_6874]

He was choking him wrong the whole time the air choke is the correct way I don't know why he said it isn't as effective it I'd more effective that that other way he was doing it

[@danieljamieson7831]

air choke is not nearly as effective as a blood choke.

[@theneoenigma2094]

oobert _ the blood choke is MUCH faster than the air choke. The air choke is more painful, but in situations like this, you want to end the fight quickly, not just inflict pain

[@flyinghole]

@@oobert_6874 "Much to learn... You still have."

[@imasealarparparparparp3196]

TheNeoEnigma not to mention there’s a higher risk of injuring the opponent, potentially landing you in legal trouble from breaking a guys windpipe because of a fist fight

[@olemew]

2:35 Important detail: the grip is palm to palm, no fingers involved. In that position, your left thumb goes under your right pinky finger.

[@ricxwav6061]

depends which hand you use, if your dominant hand is the left hand like mine than its the opposite "right thumb below left pinky"

A surefire counter to a choke hold is to yell "HARDER DADDY" to confuse your attacker

Agreed bro. Works! it defo does. Bit u made this video with a smaller and light wight guy. However....it don't work with a big guy. My big guy with a 48...50inch chest and big build guy with big Fore arms... A lot more power than me, much more stronger.....literally ripped this grip off me and threw me over his body. I had nothing going on. I had no chance. I had him gripped with all my strength and he literally broke my grip off with ease.

[@STBRetired1]

FINALLY someone who explains how to apply pressure by bringing the elbows together. For some reason, all the other videos leave out that tip. I got to this video by wondering if guys with skinny arms could do the rear naked choke. If you don't have big forearms and biceps (like me) then how can you apply pressure to the neck, I thought. Well, you showed me how arm size doesn't matter when you bring your elbows together. Thanks.

[@GeorgeOu]

I like John Danaher's method better where you don't squeeze the biceps, but you pull that right elbow to back using the more powerful back muscles between the shoulder blades. That method is so powerful that even if it's over the chin and even if the victim has both hands inserted and pulling out down on your arm, you can still get the choke.

[@joejoyce692]

Wow Shane kesting is a great martial artist his channel is probably the best fighting one behind yours.

[@shen639]

[@nicholasobrien8499]

Thank you so much for teaming up Shane and Stephan! I subscribe to you both and this helps so much, didn't realize I was doing some stuff wrong! Thanks!

[@michaelguerra5888]

I dig the Spock shirt! It seems the shrugging and inhaling actually makes this hold tight more so than the hand behind the neck. It actually seemed almost irrelevant at one point grappling a guy so big, the hold was extremely tight before I could even come close to reaching behind his head. Mid 2s versus low 3s here. Most guys you see drilling, are in the area of 160-200 lbs. so there perhaps might be more space in range of the applying guy's chest and the receiving guy's upper back. I actually had my hand on his forehead when he tapped but I think the key was that the initial forearm hook was already good, so once I hooked the second arm, "the Italian driver" as you called it, that was it.

[@blueseaturtle6031]

My bjj teacher showed us a slightly different way from his butt rather than his knees. He got the choke locked in and then rolled his shoulders back and moved his chest forward. After that he rotated his opponents head towards the direction where his under the neck arm was and keep going until the person tapped. It hurt like hell and it felt like my head was going to pop, good choke dude

Fedor used to leave the non choking arm (your left) under the opponents arm in order to isolate it before finishing the choke. Longer arms are necessary.

[@efesarinalbant8842]

Lets say you have to subdue an assaulter in the heat of the moment. How do you know when you should release the chokehold? This may seem like a weird question but the last thing anyone would want is to accidentally kill someone while meaning to just knock them out. Is there a rule of thumb as to how many seconds or are there certain signs to look for to know when to release the attacker

[@StephanKesting]

Efe Sarinalbant hold it till he goes limp and then just a little longer. brain damage takes 4-6 minutes to kick in. So as long as you leave the guy face in the recovery position (so he doesn't choke on his own tongue) he'll probably be ok.
