Spinning Baseball Bat Choke, From The Top AND Bottom!

[@PsychoWingedFish]

Maybe I've only watched some older videos, but this is the first one that I've seen of coach Tom as a black belt. What a good surprise, I am so happy for him! He has helped so many people, me included, and his techniques are always on point. He definitely deserves it! Keep on rocking, coach!

This will be my next white belt submission.

[@chrisk1180]

Top notch instruction as always! Thank you Professor

[@chrisgoods]

This is easily my fave sub... catch it regularly both on top and bottom.. catches them by surprise. Very easy to put someone out with this too so need to be wary of your training partner..

[@samwise725]

Audio and video are great quality. Cool new intro as well. Keep the good content coming!

Love how he did the whole class with a smile 😁. Hello from Spain 🤜🤛

[@hardcaliber19]

Always love your positive energy and clear instruction Professor Tom! So obvious how much you really enjoy doing what you do! 3-finger grip works well for the no-gi version as well (similar to the gable, but inverted, with the thumb of the "choking" arm inserted between the index and middle fingers of the outside arm, for those who are not familiar). Feels like there is less binding of the wedge than a pure gable grip. But that inverted s-grip is by far the best, imo. 👍

Ah! Okay, that detail about crossing the spines is really helpful. I’m realizing why this choke hasn’t worked for me in the past. I’ll try to turn my body to 2 o’clock like you mentioned. Thanks for that detail!

[@ko2ni]

Love your videos: simple and effective! Cheers from France 🇫🇷

I hit this from bottom last week. I was rolling with one of my favorite partners, he’s easily 100 pounds heavier than me and has a wrestling background so generally he beats me miserably for 5 minutes straight. This time however I got a triangle, he started to posture up and instead of trying to break him down I just got the baseball grips and let him pass to side control.

[@LMcyrex]

Excellent video... 1000s of videos out there with the same instructions.. However your explanation is far better... Done in a slow clear way to follow

This channel is top notch. Thanks for everything

[@mikebarker2498]

Great work man, keep the videos coming 👍

[@sheraliawan7859]

Excellent

[@slaffsla]

Tried it today in the class, and it did not work well enough, still low percentage sub for me, so probably not worth losing the position for it, yet, unless it’s a friendly sparring like tonight. I do remember pulling it off a few times before, even no gi. Perhaps I need to rewatch the video. :) upd: I did, and found a few details I might have skipped. It was the bottom version.

[@dianecenteno5275]

Good instruction. I've used the Hineri- jime technique, mostly as an escape from bottom side control for many years and you are right. Very effective.

[@jpjp3873]

Appreciate the lesson!
