Cross Collar Choke From Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Donovan Espinosa teaches how to get the cross collar choke from the closed guard. Donovan has the opponent in his closed guard and breaks the opponent’s grips on the lapel by circling his arms underneath the opponent’s and makes him post the hands on the mat. He then grips the opponent’s same side lapel so he can feed his opposite side hand to it. Donovan now slides his other hand under his first grip and grips the other lapel. Donovan finishes the choke by pulling the opponent down with his legs and arching his arms out.
