Bubble Boy said:I assume you're talking about when your opponent is gripping your collars with both hands, arms crossed, trying to choke.
Take one of your arms and thread it over and then in between his arms and then put your hand on your own face (or forehead). Brace your palm on your forehead. Your opponent will have a very difficult time actually cross choking you. Really.
The way it torques his arms kind of sets up a bridge and roll for you.
Be careful though, 'cause dasteredly things could be waiting for you.
DMcKayBJJ said:Yeah, I usually feed my bent arm in between his forearms when he telegraphs the choke. I usually place my palm against my ear/side of head to brace it as he proceeds to bear down on my bent arm...no way he'll choke me that way.
But yes you have to be ready for what your next move is once he transitions to something else.
DMcKayBJJ said:Just read the original post again...and it seems like he's asking about getting cross-choked while the opponent is mounted on top of him.
This is correct, sorry that I didn't explain it clearer. Alas, I'm still a nooby. Thanks guys.
