Yes, i have seen street fights where this would have finished the deal. I do not like the ground ,but if you are there,and their be a great chance that you will, this will stop the aggressor.

nice tips! saludos!

[@olemanshavadoo7893]

I love that d'race from half guard. if you can't finish the choke then you can still use it to pass...then choke. if you're arms are too short gable grip behind the guy's head and scissor down and take the pass.

[@BobbyLunsford83]

if you drop over and post your left shoulder ( outside shoulder ) to the mat, it makes this choke way tighter.

[@thebaneking4787]

[@rocdy]

indeed, it's just a name, as long as the technique works, it's fine😄

[@razvan8411]

Gold!!!

[@ttvstabthatguy4u284]

So essentially what they are doing is the exact same because they end up in the fore arm down position. The 2nd part just adds in what I think is a very important structural detail for guaranteeing the choke and that is starting to secure the choke from the forearm if you miss getting straight to the forearm down/cupped bicep position. Then start there and transition to bicep and complete choke. Lol

[@bulukhuman7498]

Please show how to defend one as well

[@winstonchurchill624]

I think that when you’re doing it how he did it the first time, leaning to your left so you’re pulling the neck up and pushing the head down would make it even more effective. Instead of just laying flat on their head and neck.

[@jf1996100]

Is the neck crank version IBJJF legal. Would they even notice it's a neck crank, or could you pass it off as a darce choke?

[@rontedee4432]

I get caught in this all the time. Is it possible to dive for his leg to initiate the footgrab sweep as a counter to this?

[@joshh8430]

More efficient to drive the left shoulder to the mat than pushing forward

[@JrKinabalu]

Tq for the info. My coach used this on me few times & i was thinking how did he do it.

[@WhtMike2006]

But second variation you can often see referred to as a short arm Darce. Jeff Glover teaches it often. The Japanese necktie from everything I've seen looks fairly different but thank you for the videos

[@TheDanielmeeks]

Andre Rener calls this a “shallow darce”

[@Dionatans9805]

Triângulo de mão. Esse gringos são frescos mesmo.

[@MrPhilipRoberts]

I prefer to capture a leg. If they can run away and go belly down there’s no choke. The sprawl finish isn’t the best, but Kesting’s finish from the half guard is 👌🏼

[@thebaneking4787]

Denis Kang the Conqueror!

[@filipe5153]

Alguém sabe o nome em português desse golpe?

[@OnlyFans_YourMum]

The way I was shown the Japanese neck tie was to place the edge of my forearm against the chin of my opponent, gable grip my hands and keep the back of my opponents head againts my chest from sprawl. then you lean back to crank the neck, kind of like a modified guillotine. Is that a Japanese neck tie, or is it really just a modified guillotine from sprawl?

[@PTS.MT.Goalie.BJJ.Andrew]

+Mitchell Richards that's the true JNT, except i learned to fall to my side.

[@TMacandKobe4real]

I’m late lol but it’s the JNT

[@waltonoryan]

Can you do this from without being in half guard, like when you go for side control?

[@TheByrdHouse]

Waltoco yes from side mount when your opponent turns on his side facing you. I hit it all the time.

Thanks for sharing the info. About the variation, getting the opponent to tap, and choking them out is different. If he's still awake, but just submits, he's free to attack you and now more aware of your abilities.

Knee on belly is Uki-gatame Darce choke is a Hadaka-jime variation etc., nothing new under the sun. Sorry but all these phonies claiming they discovered the wheel is too much. Refined? Nope.

[@natedepigeone]

3:40 Why is he tapping there? It turns the neck kind of, but I don't understand how you can get a tap from that. You for sure aren't going to choke him from there unless you're facing someone like a white belt, and maybe I have a nimble neck but there's just so much space in there. Somebody please explain to me if you think I'm wrong

[@natedepigeone]

majdrup That isn't a Japanese necktie though. His neck is not being cranked whatsoever in there. All I can say is that would not work on a small guy of at least a blue belt level, especially when the guy on bottom has his left arm on his opponent's hip.

[@natedepigeone]

majdrup The problem is if they are going to demonstrate on a video they need to show it correctly.

[@natedepigeone]

***** The choke isn't in though, you need to pressure both sides of the neck to get the choke. He is only barely pressuring one.

[@MikeFinch]

+NateTheItalianStallion Nate this is a neck crank, and yes neckcranks work on anyone of any size. As Kang explains, his chest dropping on the top of the head while he squeezes his right forearm into the neck makes the crank work.

[@natedepigeone]

Mike Finch I know neck cranks work on anyone of any size, but his neck isn't getting contorted whatsoever. This is something a 60 year old white belt taps to, not a younger, more durable person. I've even had my instructor do this move on me while watching the video, it doesn't do anything.
