Fishing for Chokes: Ezekiel and Lapel Choke from Back Control

Fishing for chokes from back control requires more than just grip strength—it requires absolute body control. In this video, we break down exactly how to engage your hips, squeeze your legs, and dig your heels in to establish an inescapable back mount. Once the trap is set, we cover the exact details for feeding your hand under the jawline and deep into the neck to finish the lapel Ezekiel choke, as well as proper hand feeds for the collar choke. We don't stop at back control, either. This lesson also includes a breakdown of a Jean Jacques Machado style reverse triangle with follow-ups, and a classic Rickson Gracie takedown straight into standard arm bar details.
