Blue belt to black belt: my favorite BJJ competition-tested lapel choke

In this video, I break down one of my favorite lapel chokes and one of my highest percentage submissions in competition. I’ve been using this choke successfully since I was competing at blue belt, and it’s continued to work for me all the way up to black belt. I go over the setup, grip placement, control details and finishing mechanics that make this submission so reliable against resisting opponents.
