Обзор
The North-South family covers the top control position where the controlling fighter lies chest-to-chest with the opponent but in opposite direction — head-to-feet — creating a 180-degree orientation. [1] North-south provides strong pinning pressure and is frequently used as a transitional position between side control and other positions, as well as a platform for kimura and north-south choke attacks. [1],[2] The position's chest-to-chest compression makes it very difficult for the bottom fighter to create space or bridge effectively. [2],[3]

Joints Involved — Attacker's chest (primary contact), hips (sprawled or driving), opponent's near shoulder and hip (controlled)
Force Vector — Downward and lateral — chest pressure pins the opponent while hip positioning prevents escape
Positional Mechanic — Crossface and underhook combination controls the opponent's head and near arm, preventing bridging or turning
Позиция и вход
From guard pass — After passing the guard, settle into side control with chest on the opponent's chest, perpendicular body angle
From takedown (top landing) — Complete a takedown and transition to side control by establishing crossface and underhook

✓North-south position places the top player head-to-head with the opponent (facing opposite directions) with chest-to-chest pressure — it is a high-control pin that offers unique choke and transition opportunities (Saulo Ribeiro, Jiu-Jitsu University, 2008)
✓North-south is entered from side control by walking the body over the opponent's head — the top player's chest ends up on the opponent's chest, both facing the ceiling
✓The north-south choke (arm around the neck from north-south) is one of the tightest chokes in grappling when applied correctly
✓North-south control uses: chest pressure, arm control (overhook or underhook the opponent's arms), and hip positioning
✓North-south is a transitional position: it is used to set up the north-south choke, transition to the other side (switching side control), or advance to mount
✓The position is difficult to escape: the opponent's hips are free but their upper body is completely pinned by the chest pressure
✓In MMA, north-south is used for knee strikes to the head (in some rule sets) and as a control position during ground-and-pound sequences
Типичные ошибки
!Not driving chest pressure into the opponent — the chest must be heavy and actively pressing down
!Allowing space between the chest and the opponent — eliminate all space for maximum control
!Not controlling the arms — the opponent's arms must be pinned or overhook'd to prevent frames
!Staying in north-south without attacking the choke — the north-south choke should always be threatened
!Keeping the hips too high — the hips should be close to the mat for a stable base
!Walking to north-south too slowly — the transition from side control should be smooth and quick
!Not transitioning out of north-south when the opponent begins escaping — switch sides or return to side control

Attacking North-South
ПодсемействоThe Attacking North-South subfamily covers north-south configurations specifically set up for submission attacks, particularly the kimura and north-south choke. [1] Attacking north-south positions use specific grips that enable immediate submission threats while maintaining the north-south control. [1,2] The kimura grip north-south is the most common attacking configuration, providing a powerful bent-armlock opportunity from the position. [2,3]

Standard North-South
ПодсемействоThe Standard North-South subfamily covers the basic north-south control position where the top fighter lies chest-to-chest in opposite orientation, using bodyweight and arm control to pin the opponent. [1] Standard north-south is primarily a controlling and transitional position, used to maintain dominance while setting up attacks or transitions to other positions. [1,2] The standard north-south uses underhook control on both sides to prevent the bottom fighter from creating frames or turning. [2,3]

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the most important detail when setting up a North-South choke?
Turning your opponent's face away with your ribcage is the single most important element. Great Grappling emphasizes that if you turn their face away and dominate their head, when they bridge they won't be able to move you because you'll be positioned on their head, not their body.
How should I set up the head lasso from side control?
When you scoop the head with a head lasso, your fingertips need to be pushing into the floor—if you don't, you risk getting reversed. Great Grappling recommends starting the North-South choke from side control with a head lasso, then bringing your arm over the top of the head and coming back underneath.
Do I need both hands to finish a North-South choke?
If you execute the technique correctly, you should only need one hand in practice; in tournament, both hands will squeeze together. The key is that the initial setup and lasso mechanics do most of the work, so excessive squeezing is not the primary mechanism.
How does the North-South choke actually cut off blood flow?
Great Grappling uses a straw analogy: when you pull both ends of a straw tightly apart, it doesn't cut off blood flow in the middle but creates an irregular stretched pattern that restricts it. The cutoff comes from squeezing, but pulling the head lasso away also contributes to restricting blood flow without requiring extra power.
Как работает North-South?

North-south provides strong pinning pressure and is frequently used as a transitional position between side control and other positions, as well as a platform for kimura and north-south choke attacks.
Откуда происходит North-South?
North-south control has roots in judo's kami-shiho-gatame (upper four-corner hold) and was further developed in BJJ as both a controlling position and a submission platform, particularly for the north-south choke and kimura. It is a standard position in both judo and BJJ.
