The Complete North South Choke
By Marcelo Garcia
The Complete North South Choke examines Marcelo Garcia’s setup and finishing details for one submission. Alignment and grips are followed by ways of dealing with blocking arms, head turns and escapes. Entries from several top positions make it relevant to grapplers who want this choke within their existing top game.
Is this for you?
- You reach north-south but struggle to establish or maintain the choke.
- You want entries from mount, half guard and knee on belly.
Coverage and limits
- Alignment, grips, elbow position and base.
- Blocking-arm problems, head turns and finishing adjustments.
- Entries from top positions and transitions from kimura or armbar attacks.
Limits
- The course concentrates on the choke; it is not a general north-south pinning or guard-passing curriculum.
