The Awesome Clock Choke

[@anonymouse7095]

With the clock choke, I always wondered what you were supposed to do with the second hand. I do like the minute details you include. I honestly think this technique came at the perfect time. And other clock puns.

[@1eljugo]

I tried teaching this to my son, but at that point it was second hand information. By the way, no need for alarm if no one else adds clock puns!

[@BrianJNoah]

Did you *wind* up using it? Perhaps I should *watch* this a *second* *time*.

[@skisteepndeep]

Professor Tom, your demos and explanations are fantastic. I learn new things that I can apply right away.

[@brakeme1]

Explains better than anyone I’ve seen on the net. Truly a professor who walks the walk.

[@hankhill8044]

Hit this choke in class the other day first try. Awesome detail. Thanks for the vid.

[@brysonz]

This is a great variation!

[@freedomgunsandliberty]

Going to try this tomorrow in class. Your videos made me pursue jiu jitsu and am now a month in. Thanks for changing my life 🍻🇺🇸

Great to hear! I like your youtube user handle (-: Tom Davey

[@Slamminbassplayer]

Osssssssss! Funny, I can’t remember the last time I or a training partner used turtle. I wonder why!? I like this submission chain though. Beauty! Many thanks!!

[@Tookap]

This is one of my go-to chokes! I'll try your variation this week! Thank you 🙏

[@richlabombard6780]

Beautiful.

Hey from Colorado. We were just discussing this at the academy last week. Going to love doing this with those changes. Thanks Prof Tom.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

I love Colorado. I left four weeks ago. So fun. (-: Tom Davey

[@drslimldn]

Sick, this is a nice variation! I also learnt one where you get the cross collar with the left arm/hand, but blocking with it seems effective and probably easier to do

[@Oldhandlewasabitcringe]

If youre playing with this I like this variation to finish once you have the grip try swinging a leg over like your taking the back (no hooks necessary) and try to put your upper body forward past their head so you hang all your weight through your choke grip, its super tight. My variation is probably less sound but I seem to finish more with it.

[@AnthonyDonnellyTT]

OSS! Professor Tom. Thank you for this variation. I have used this choke before, but would keep my "non choking" hand on the same side as the entry to collar, dropping my arm to place my tricep next to my opponent's head and then walk the clock. I prefer this variation. Watched it yesterday, implementing it on the mats last night with immediate success. Awesome! Been on this journey a little over a year now and my first competition is Oct 5! Wish me luck... Most likely, some of your instruction will assist me "under fire". I'm thankful as always.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Good luck Anthony! Clock choke to gold! Have fun, be confident and let your jiu jitsu flow (-: Tom Davey

1:57 Legend suggest, from the sound of his fingers, the moon and all planets aligned south from the snap that was heard from across the galaxy......Everyone knew that "the choke ready to go".

Awesome person. Outstanding coach.

[@peterciampa5102]

Very nice demonstration

[@meanmach5896]

Great technics!!! Your videos are awesome.

[@viaseung]

I tried this today at the gym to a training partner. I thought I did it right but now I realize I put elbow on the wrong side. I was on the right side of the partner and i slid my right arm underneath to grab the left side of the lapel. To here it was ok but the elbow i put on right side of my partner instead of left. I did everything else correct after and I realize the lapel shortly after so I wasn't able to confirm. Does it still work or it wouldn't, coach? Thanks! 🙏 I suppose has to have the neck under my arm pit to apply pressure

[@diretoeretocesar5735]

Excelente variação de reloginho . Oss..

[@juanzuccoli]

Awesome! Love the transition!

[@irone93]

Great detail

[@민경사랑]

What a fantastic skill !!!

[@Icantseeme]

Awesome video as always

[@Cwho9ss]

I just learned this at class today!

[@mullm5375]

Interesting variation, I’m with ya the clock choke indeed many gi depend moves are not my forte but I’ll give it a go! 👍

[@ro_meo19]

Man I love how you broke this choke down!!! But what if tries to roll the other way to escape??

[@Italian81]

Love this variation! Do you do the Helicopter Choke too?

[@HansDavidian]

I accidentally made my training partner passed out using this choke. I never tried it before & I did not feel I had enough depth with my choking grip but it came so unexpectedly fast.

[@chriskwilas1330]

This is amazing!

[@slowcheetahslowcheetah3611]

Is your right hand taking any weight? Or is it all going through the back of his neck, and your hand is barely touching the floor?

[@riceboybebop7018]

"Times up punk.." And other crappy action movie puns are why I want to learn the clock choke.

[@kevinmcgivern5436]

So for me, vs the turtled opponent the hardest part is getting that hand in and across to the other side lapel. Usually the opponents hand-fights furiously.Any tips on how to get there simply and efficiently?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

disrupt balance so they post then grab in. (-: Tom Davey

Oh shit, I never knew that counter to the bow and arrow, because I am a bitch ass white belt lol...I will use that next time a purple throws bow and arrow on me

[@KonaDaGamah]

Wouldn’t he turn into you since you don’t have an arm to control? I’m just curious.
