Перевод: Cross Strangle — From Body Triangle
The cross collar choke from body triangle combines the powerful hip control of the body triangle with a cross-grip lapel strangle from behind. [1],[2] The body triangle locks the attacker's legs around the opponent's torso in a figure-four configuration, limiting hip escape and stabilising the position while the cross-collar grips compress both carotid arteries. [1] Lapel chokes bypass chin-tuck defences that block the standard rear naked choke, making this a useful follow-up when the chin is sealed against the arm. [2]
The cross collar choke from the body triangle combines two techniques with distinct lineages. The cross collar grip (juji-jime) was codified by Jigoro Kano in the Kodokan shime-waza syllabus during the 1880s as a fundamental strangling technique using the gi lapels. [1] The body triangle control position emerged later within Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where back-control specialists developed the figure-four leg configuration to replace or supplement traditional hooks for maintaining rear mount. [2] The specific combination of body triangle with cross collar grips became prominent in sport BJJ competition during the 2000s as athletes sought submissions that could bypass chin-tuck defences against the rear naked choke. [3] Saulo Ribeiro documents the cross collar choke from the back as a high-percentage alternative when the opponent defends the neck against bare-hand strangles. [3]

The cross collar choke from body triangle combines fundamental grip mechanics with precise positional control. Matt Arroyo Jiu Jitsu emphasizes that success depends on deep hand placement, blade orientation, and sequential finishing mechanics rather than raw strength. The first grip must penetrate deeply across the opponent's body to the opposite side, with the wrist blade positioned directly on the carotid artery; this hand is then rotated to turn the blade into the target. The second grip, inserted either palm-up (under the first arm) or palm-down (over the first arm depending on position), need not be as deep but must also have blade contact on the artery. Arroyo stresses that the gi serves only as a leverage point, while the wrist blades perform the actual choking action. The finish involves three coordinated steps: turning both blades inward, hammering the gi to increase blade pressure, and pulling the opponent's head into the attacker's chest while driving elbows down to hip level. Bernardo Faria BJJ Fanatics (via Greg Melita) contributes a conceptual refinement: managing slack creation and removal to facilitate grip entry, and critically, maintaining head position with the opponent's head positioned below the attacker's head to maximize mechanical advantage. Both instructors agree on the technique's versatility across guard, mount, and side control positions, though they emphasize different pedagogical angles—Arroyo focuses on mechanical execution while Melita prioritizes conceptual understanding of body mechanics.

Matt Arroyo emphasizes that the biggest mistake is not getting a deep enough grip. The first hand must go all the way to the tag on the collar, with your thumb positioned behind the opponent's ear—not in front of it. Many beginners also mistakenly try to choke the neck with the gi itself rather than using the collar as a tool.
Instead of pulling your elbows upward, pull them straight down toward your hip bones while pulling the opponent's head into your chest. This generates significantly more power than the common beginner mistake of raising the elbows.
Greg Melita explains that many people pull too tightly with the first hand, which makes it extremely difficult to get the second hand in. You need to manage the tension on the collar—create slack when necessary to allow the second grip to slip in properly.
Getting your head below your opponent's head creates a significant positional advantage. This concept translates across different cross collar choke variations and makes the technique much more difficult to defend.
