Five Chokes That Have Put Me To Sleep | Jiu-Jitsu Chokes

I’ve been late to the tap and taken off guard quite a few times over the last few decades. I don’t recommend ever pushing it too late, but it happens sometimes, especially in competition or heated training sessions. This video is about the 5 chokes that I have slept on, some of these multiple times, and explanations of why people tend to tap too late to these.
Always be as safe as possible in training and competition. I hope these details help. Thanks as always for watching!

[@TamarcusPerson]

Thank you soooo very much for the honest video. I have learned that the best teacher is to learn from your mistakes (especially when you have to tap out from being submitted/choked out). By seeing this video, it really helped me to also be aware of/pay attention to placement of the opponent’s hands. I absolutely love your videos!!!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you so much. That was one of the main intentions of this video 🙏

[@johnneydoe]

Knight you’re still awesome! Your humble teaching is real bushido.

The little details on the Ezekiel *chef kiss*

1:12 1.(???)Choke 3:42 2. Triangle Choke 6:00 3. Ezekiel Choke 9:40 4. Baseball Choke 11:30 5. Loop Choke

[@chenwang643]

called a cross collar choke pal

[@Pennconst101]

Loop choke Is definitely one of those silent assassins and one of my favorites. Great video

[@TheYop55]

love the last one

[@jasonfairbanks4714]

Your demonstrations are so easy to understand. Thank you!

[@peterciampa5102]

One of your best videos yet

[@xChrisSoaresx]

Super solid video! I appreciate the fact that you admit to being choked out and takes guts to admit if you ask me.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Anyone who has been training as long as I have has most likely gone to sleep at some point. If they deny it, that’s a big ego problem for sure.

[@svish5790]

I enjoyed this one. The baseball bat choke is the exact same scenario I went to sleep. Being choked out is a strange feeling. It's not that bad. But at the same time feels really creepy and horrible 😂

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Haha, exactly. Once you realize you didn’t die, it turns out just to be a nice power nap.

[@ssssaintmarcus]

@@KnightJiuJitsu that’s what I would more describe it as…a power nap. I woke up feeling rested and rejuvenated

[@shaunn7778]

@@ssssaintmarcus lol. What about the brain damage? Was that invigorating?

[@Thecelestial1]

Baseball bat choke sent me to the shadow realm. Feeling was the exact same as when I was coming out of anesthesia for wisdom teeth removal. Crazy!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Perfect description

[@jerrys1]

What’s that like? I’ve got wisdom teeth removal coming up and I’m kinda anxious about it despite myself

[@Thecelestial1]

@@jerrys1 hey buddy! I was nervous too. I’m kinda arrogant so I thought the anesthetic wouldn’t work. Trust me, it works. Like scary works. They put me to sleep because I didn’t want the laughing gas. They hooked me up to the tubes and started the meds and told me to count down from ten. I made it to 8 and then jumped out of the chair because they brought me back. That was literally the same “return to consciousness” feeling I was talking about. Didn’t feel a thing, was pretty lucid despite the drugs, didn’t do anything stupid etc. Truly the recovery was the worst part. They gave me painkillers and I didn’t take the “drink with water” aspect seriously. The holes in my face hurt, but my butthole hurt worse from the constipation that I threw the pain meds away. Make sure you stock up on soup and pudding, jello etc as solid foods won’t be edible for a bit. Remember not to use a straw for a while if they tell you to do you don’t rip out the stitches. A water pick is nice to get the food out of the holes of your mouth, mine took about a year to fill in, crazy right? All In all a decent surgery, you should be fine. Better now than later! Try to do when you have a lot of time off like summer so you don’t waste a long weekend or spring break. Buy extra gauze for packing the wound and keep extras off that jaw ice pack thing. Good luck!

[@jerrys1]

@@Thecelestial1 Thanks for the advice, looks like the pain is gonna more of an issue than the anesthesia

[@zacharywong483]

Thank you for taking the time to always give such detailed tips and discussion on how to get techniques to work! Great video as always Eli!

[@mustaffssonhaydara3961]

No fake modesty here....M.Knight is The Definition of true humbleness... Thanks from France.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Mercí! I appreciate you saying that

[@RichardDoell]

I love your channel. The details on these setups are much appreciated. Respect...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@ronin6327]

Love the modesty Eli, yeah I'm afraid that after being choked out so many times my brain would get damaged. Tapping out early is a must, and get good at the fundamentals

[@7skies246]

Awesome teaching Knight, that's one great video.

[@jerrys1]

Ezekiel choke looks awesome. I’m gonna try it next time I get the chance

[@Jamal-pp7bn]

It's videos like this why I like, subscribe and am a Patreon of Eli's. GREAT INFO, EXCELLENT BREAKDOWN! Thank you again Professor!! OSS!!!!!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate you, my friend. Means the world to me!

[@fitepitsnbonfires]

Interesting and interesting sometimes the small things the change in angles make the difference keep it up good stuff to keep in mind!

[@eyeswideopenareyours6952]

I got 4 5 firefighter s doing jiu-jitsu cause of you teachings

[@fitepitsnbonfires]

Interesting I haven't seen the loop choke in a while and not this version so once again keep training good video!

[@hedgehogbjj]

Chokes are my favorite techniques. 😍

[@grantwiggins7446]

Been there, done that. Appreciate you giving me gentle pats on the back as I came back; surprisingly I was standing. I’m still not sure how/why I was up!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Haha, I hope you’re doing good brother!

[@mummra7]

this may be a little hard to explain, but simply put it seems the way to either add pressure to a lock, or to escape a lock is to allow yourself to roll into the negative/unused space. that seems to open up many more options.

[@gypsysundance]

Great channel and teachings thank you

[@HelloWorld-tn1tl]

Super cool, learned several skills, can't wait to try out ...

[@RichardDoell]

That loop choke off the common guillotine escape is awesome.

[@hubriswonk]

Awesome video and cool stories! The only time I have ever been choked out was by the smallest woman in my gym and it was a fully locked in clock choke by someone I grossly underestimated. :)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That happens a lot actually!

[@denversmith7206]

Love this one Eli ! Hope to put to use some this soon

[@apekillssnake]

Great Video and easy on the eyes too! I liked that triangle on the Stack pass!

[@lucatraverso6891]

Excellent explication 👍👏👌

[@iPukeable]

I've been choked out 2 times in a row... both in the technical training, not even on a roll.... It's a strange feeling, but also exciting and a pushing power nap. So it was at first, the first time... the 2nd time, few minutes later, crippled me for the entire training time. Took really long to get clear again and been able to walk again normally. I fcking love Jiu Jitsu 🤙

[@Twobarpsi]

Great advice and video ✊🥋!!

[@SticksandStonesBJJ]

The 4th is the only choke that I have been put to sleep with, I will never make that mistake again!

[@Carinha12324]

Great video! My favorite chockes. Oss

[@assassinforce5637]

I respect the egoless attitude

[@SwissCatCharity]

Can you please do some standing headlock escape... upright headlock and punch, headlock bent over... etc. Thank you

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

This is a little older and I need to update it, but here is one I did on that topic kzbin.info/www/bejne/maPWoGynf9uSi6s

[@KaninTuzi]

2:37 did someone get murdered in the background?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Don’t worry about it 🤫

[@davecronce3127]

Loop choke and baseball bat choke are the two I see put people out the most. And you can hit them both from lots of weird places which is why I think they put people out.

[@danielmurray3367]

Baseball bat choke and the bow and arrow.

[@Chandasouk]

"Eli, I've been having trouble sleeping lately" I've got just the thing

[@interestingtopics419]

now i understand the reason why bjj and mma are constantly retaining their no 1 position

[@AndrewB416]

Hello! Thanks for the video. Just one odd question please....are you by chance left handed? Just curious because apparently we both tie our belts the same way.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks for watching! But no, I’m actually right handed.

[@AndrewB416]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Weird, me too. Might be a carry over from days as a kid in Karate. Thanks again. I'll be sure to keep watching.

not much bjj schools in india very sad. pls start a branch in india

At 55, I'm gonna need a spotter when I'm doing the triangle.... Eh, I'm just gonna go to sleep with my 😺.

[@chenwang643]

when my game is comprised of hail maries hahaha

[@frankiegodinez8864]

I choked out a guy at the gym with a baseball bat choke. That’s a quick one when on tight. I didn’t mean to choke him out, but I guess he didn’t even have time to tap.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s super deceptive and the one that most people go to sleep on from realizing too late.

[@Hardwork213]

😃

[@metrolinamartialarts]

so you're telling me that building my whole game around the Loop Choke was a bad idea? 🤣

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Hahaha, I didn’t say all that. Your loop choke is deadly

[@ball7078]

i usually skip this part

[@connormainwaring8866]

You didn't pump the breaks on the pun this time.
