The choke from side-control / Photo by Junior Samurai/GRACIEMAG

When you’ve made it past guard and are chest to chest with your opponent, you’ve reached side-control. What now?

The key to stabilizing the position is to latch on to the collar behind the neck and get a solid grip on the back of the pants. From there the next step is to go to the classic knee-on-belly and then on to mount.

But you can cut straight to the chase with an attack. Tom Oberhue, a GMA of ours in Portland, Oregon and Saulo Ribeiro black belt , teaches us the following choke from side-control:

O estrangulamento no cem-quilos. Foto: Junior Samurai/GRACIEMAG

Quando você passa a guarda e cola o peito com peito, você está na posição conhecida como cem-quilos. E agora?

O principal para estabilizar a posição é dominar a gola por trás da cabeça e segurar firme nos fundilhos da calça. De lá, o próximo passo clássico é o joelho na barriga e a depois a montada.

Mas você pode abreviar a luta ao tentar um ataque. Tom Oberhue, nosso GMA em Portland, Oregon, é faixa-preta de Saulo Ribeiro, e hoje nos ensina a estrangular do cem-quilos.

Repare que a pegada na gola continua e ele corre pra cabeça, mantendo a outra pegada no quadril. O joelho na lateral da cabeça do adversário completa o xeque-mate.
