3 Sneaky BJJ Attacks
There is no shortage of sneaky moves that can put your
opponent in unexpected positions, so it’s impossible to really list them all.
But here are a few really specific situations that have put even the most
experienced practitioners in some bad spots. There is no doubt that many
of you will have more to add to this list! But here are three to start:
- Loop
Choke from half-guard.
The loop choke is a long-time favorite for a lot of athletes
especially starting at blue belt. You’ll very often find them using the loop
choke as their go-to emergency move. It can be applied from many positions, but
the sneakiest version is when you’re playing half-guard. You get your
cross-collar grip and loosen your half-guard to give your opponent a false
sense of security. When they commit to the pass, the often dip their head too
low, allowing you to loop their collar around their necks and throwing yourself
under them, tightening the choke.
