Guard Choke

Once you establish the lasso, keep pulling your opponent to prevent them from moving away or sitting up. BIG OSS Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes that timing is critical—pull the lasso, move back to connect, then execute the choke before they can escape.

Keep your leg straight and place your foot between your opponent's legs rather than leaving it on the hip. When you flatten yourself and extend your leg, this stretch forces their posture to break and creates the opening for the choke, according to BIG OSS Jiu-Jitsu.

BIG OSS Jiu-Jitsu stresses that it's very important to thread the sweep first so your opponent stops defending, then you execute the loop choke. If you go for the choke stretch without the sweep setup, your opponent will have an easier time defending.

Secure the collar—don't grip on the sleeves. BIG OSS Jiu-Jitsu recommends wrapping your head with both hands on the collar for the loop choke finish, and make sure something is blocking the opponent's shoulder to prevent them from rolling out.

Guard chokes are choking submissions executed from bottom guard positions — closed guard, open guard, half guard, and various guard variations. These techniques exploit the guard player's ability to control distance, break posture, and use the legs to create leverage while the opponent is trapped between the legs or in a guard configuration.

Guard-based choking techniques are primarily a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu innovation. While judo includes some guard-position groundwork (ne-waza), the systematic development of offensive submissions from bottom guard is a distinctly BJJ contribution.
