The Helio Grip - Get That Cross Choke - Everytime!

[@tsibren]

Watched this video last week and yesterday I had my sparring partner in guard and executed your first move right away. Moving my upper body to the left (head offline), second hand on collar crossed and was able to finish the choke without much hassle while he has much more weight and muscle than me. I’m a 2 month white belt and this video actually helped me IRL sparring. Awesome!!! Thank you.

This is the best explanation of the cross choke from closed guard bottom I have ever seen and i have been looking for the past five years. Thank you.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

So awesome to hear Norris! Happy cross choking! (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@jamierossi6936]

I loved the olmaplata option near the end of the video. I always enjoy your positive attitude and am thankful to have learned something new each time I watch your channel. Thanks so much, coach Tom!

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thanks Jamie I'm glad to play a small positive role in your BJJ journey! This is definitely one of my favourite ways to get omoplata reps in! Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom

[@docholliday2827]

I’m a huge fan of the way you keep your Instructional videos fun, engaging and interesting. Above all you manage to explain things in a very memorable and funny manner. This is a huge help for me personally... now on the mats I remember to “CUT him down..” and I never forget to give a little backhand... Thank you for your help in all of our journeys in jiu jitsu.

[@westcoastbrotha]

Probably my fav video thus far. Great detail and humor.

[@love2fight205]

I won gold in my first sub only last year with this move, I accidentally did something very similar to this. So I can confirm that it works in competition, thank you professor Tom!

[@nsanch0181]

Thank you for the cross choke. That’s a neat back hand trick also. I love these videos Coach Tom.

[@arjay1337]

Damn, you improve my game so much on things I think I know how do to a simple Cross collar choke from guard but don't actually know how to do yet

[@ThePete1601]

3 Years on and these videos are still helping white belts (Me) break posture and get cross collar chokes where at first they seemed impossible!

[@gazpacho879]

5 year old video but just seen it. Awesome details 👏🏼

[@NegreirosLucas]

I have been doing BJJ for the past 15 years. I can tell that this is a very good material!

Very technical, I sometimes have trouble setting up this choke with bigger and taller opponents, I think these steps will definitely help
