Introduction to the Cross Collar Choke
The cross collar choke is a fundamental technique taught to beginners, yet it remains underutilized in live grappling due to improper execution. This guide demonstrates the optimal method for achieving consistent success with this high-percentage submission.
Optimal Position: Mount
The mount position provides the ideal base for executing the cross collar choke with maximum control and leverage. From this dominant position, the instructor can establish the necessary grip depth and angle for an effective submission.
The Critical First Grip
The technique begins by feeding one lapel from hand to hand, with the first hand establishing a deep collar grip. The grip must extend as far as possible around the opponent's neck, with the wrist positioned on the soft tissue rather than the trachea to ensure proper choke mechanics.
Establishing the Second Grip
The second hand secures the opposite lapel flap, positioned as close as possible to the first hand without creating gaps. This proximity ensures that pressure is distributed across the blood vessels rather than the airway.
Elbow Positioning
The elbows must be positioned underneath the chin rather than over it, preventing facial crushing while directing all pressure to the carotid arteries. This subtle adjustment is essential for both effectiveness and safety.
Finishing the Submission
The finish is executed by bringing the elbows together while maintaining head pressure on the mat for base. The instructor can also elevate the opponent while performing the same elbow compression for an alternative finishing method.
Common Mistake: Elbow Opening
The most frequent error occurs when practitioners open their elbows after establishing the choke, which enlarges the space around the neck and reduces effectiveness. Proper execution requires pulling the elbows inward to maintain consistent pressure on both carotid arteries.
