Перевод: Cross Strangle — From Guard
The cross collar choke from guard (jūji-jime) is a fundamental gi strangle executed from closed guard by feeding both hands deep into the opponent's collar with crossed grips. [1],[2] The attacker pulls the opponent's head down while rotating the wrists inward to create bilateral compression on the carotid arteries using the collar edges. [1] It is one of the first submissions taught in BJJ and judo, prized for its simplicity and effectiveness when the opponent's posture is broken. [2],[3]
The cross collar choke from closed guard is among the most foundational submissions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The underlying grip — juji-jime (十字絞, 'cross strangle') — was systematised by Jigoro Kano in the Kodokan judo shime-waza curriculum in the late nineteenth century, though it was primarily applied from top position in judo. [1] Helio Gracie and his students adapted the cross collar grip for use from the guard (bottom position), making it a centrepiece of the Gracie self-defence system where the guard was reframed as an offensive position rather than a disadvantage. [2] Renzo Gracie and Royler Gracie describe the cross collar choke from guard as 'the first submission every BJJ student should learn,' as it teaches fundamental principles of grip fighting, posture breaking, and guard retention simultaneously. [3] The technique became a signature weapon of competition BJJ in the 1990s and remains one of the highest-percentage gi submissions at all belt levels. [2],[3]

How to actually successfully choke someone out with the cross collar choke from closed guard. Excerpt from https://www.g…
The cross collar choke from guard is executed by securing two grips on the opponent's collar lapels while in closed guard, then applying pressure via wrist rotation and arm connection to the neck. Both Henry Akins' Hidden Jiu-Jitsu and Stephan Kesting emphasize that arm-to-neck connection is more critical than grip strength alone. Akins stresses obtaining the first grip despite opponent resistance by turning shoulders to deflect defensive hands, then slapping the second grip behind the neck before finishing with wrist curling—a technique requiring minimal strength. Kesting similarly prioritizes a very tight first collar grip while allowing looser secondary grip positioning, and emphasizes finding the sharp bone of the wrist rather than a flat surface to cut the carotid. Where Akins demonstrates both underhand and overhand grip variations and teaches wrist rotation as the primary finishing mechanic, Kesting focuses on a single preferred variation with tight chest-to-chest positioning and uses the collar choke as a base control to set up arm bars and triangles. Both instructors recommend incorporating leg and arm pulls for efficiency once the choke is established, though Akins highlights that proper technique should work with wrist movement alone. Kesting additionally warns against overexertion and emphasizes timing when the opponent leaves gaps in defense.

According to Henry Akins, the connection of your arm to the opponent's neck is far more important than the grip itself. Once your arm is touching the neck, you can grab whatever cloth is available, and small wrist movements will immediately affect the choke.
Henry Akins emphasizes not letting your opponent prevent you from getting the deep grip behind the neck—don't sit up, turn your shoulders, and deflect their arm to get your hand behind their neck. If they successfully keep you from establishing this grip, they've defended the choke.
Stephan Kesting stresses that you want the sharp part of your wrist to cut into the opponent's neck rather than being flat. You should also finish by coming up with your posture, pulling your elbows tight while expanding your chest open.
Henry Akins teaches that you should incorporate your whole body—using arms and legs together rather than relying on arm strength alone. The technique works best with small wrist movements combined with pulling in with both arms and legs.
