Katagatame (Head and Arm Choke) from Mount - No Gi BJJ / Jiu-Jitsu
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Katagatame: the head and arm choke from the mounted position isn’t only a powerful submission. It’s also a very robust method of control from the top of the mount and leads directly into other dominant positions like the gift wrap and back control.
In submission grappling or no-gi BJJ, we don’t have the benefit of collars or sleeves to grip. As a result, the mounted position can seem difficult to maintain - especially when working with someone much larger or stronger. That’s why in this entry into katagatame, we focus on the importance of elbow position, a key factor in determining whether or not your strangle will be successful. When you learn to emphasize the correct elbow position - and focus on it in your setup t - you’ll find that you improve your overall control and can finish your katagatame with much less effort.

Perfect as usual! I was just searching for more information on katagatame and u uploaded, really appreciate your videos
Yeah! Great 😊
I love the little details about this....Amazing work Brian! Question-What is your favorite Side Control attack?
Thank you :) There are many great ones but you can't go wrong with juji and kimura 👍
Great detail as always , thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you :)
🤙
Hi Brian, I see that you are keeping your elbow in (your left one). I saw Gordon Ryan teaching it with a flared elbow to create a wider base and to prevent your opponent briding into you and turning you - how do you deal with that?
Thanks, I've really enjoyed your videos 🙏🏻
I asked myself the same question. Doing it the way Brian shows, I get stronger constriction, but I still prefer Gordon's due to the elbow base stopping the turn-in. Would be great to combine the pros from both, so I'm looking forward to Brian's input on the matter.
Yes - I like both variations (and sometimes the figure 4). Wide elbows give you a stronger base but the gap can be problematic before the lock is on; narrow elbows close the circuit more tightly but sacrifice some stability. I find it depends on your size relative to your partner's and how explosive they are
Thanks Brian! I really like this move as it feels a lot lower risk than switching to S-mount or a triangle using the same setup, always great to see the proper finishing mechanics! I was wondering if you personally struggle to finish this move against physically strong opponents? I've found it hard to get sometimes on folk even my own weight, and especially if they are 5-10 kilo's heavier than me. I usually just transition to the back, but I don't want to stop training the Katagatame if I'm likely not getting it just due to poor mechanics.
Keep working on the finishing mechanics at less than maximum resistance until you’re totally comfortable and you’ll see your overall success rate improve. But using transitions to the back and the arms are also very important, even at the highest levels with this move
Thanks a lot Brian
Non-stop control on the partner's right side. Maybe there is some imbalance that allows a bridge to the left?
Yes there are some bridging escapes out to that side
Thanks for the video, Brian! I have a question, if you'd like to answer: You and Danaher talk about drawing back the arm of the choking arm (Danaher describes it as the elbow pulling back towards their sternum). Whenever I try this instead of focusing on my shoulder driving in, it seem to weaken the choke. What am I doing wrong? (Maybe this is too hard to assess over written form)
Tough to say without seeing it - but could be that you’re opening space by the shoulder and moving your head away, loosening the connection there. Try keeping your head on the mat and see what happens 👍🏼
@@bzglick Thanks, Brian! You're a gentleman, and I'll be sure to try your tip. It's hard to discern what the best method is versus what I'm just doing wrong. You and Danaher teach a pulling and clock driving method. Karl Pravec teaches it as a shoulder forward, pushing method. More than one way to skin a cat?
The guy who’s getting choked looks a lot like Doug Marcaida.
His name is Jin Yung, he's a fantastic grappler in his own right.
💯 Renzo black belt :)
A big issue I have when doing the katagatame is oftentimes my opponents tuck and pommel their chin inside my shoulder so my only contact with their neck is with my right elbow so I feel like I cannot apply genuine pressure over their mandible. Usually I take the back from there but I wondered if theres a way to still go with the katagatame?
It happens. Sometimes you need to move back down the body to cinch under the chin . Try it and see what happens 👍🏼
