Favorite BJJ moves

yossarian1979 · 04-02-2006

My 2 favorite moves that i pull off while rolling in class is the Anaconda choke, and the Lapel choke. The anaconda is sweet cuz in class most people think im trying for a guillotine and feel reasonably safe while i grab my bicep, then after i sprawl them and turn its already too late. As for the lapel choke im not sure of the specific name for this one, but its the one where if you have their back, you extend an arm, while grabbing the lapel with your other hand and pull away from the arm you have extended. Its just nice to have something else besides the rear naked, or arm-bar to go for when you get someones back.

Whats your guys fav moves?

I'm going to have to say an armbar. It's just the epitome of BJJ/Grappling and is the most beautiful move IMHO.

Second I'd have to say the triangle choke. I also think this is beautiful, and it's just so ingenious, and really puts man's body to use.

I love the triangle, but i have a problem finishing people in that move, when my class rolls, if someone gets caught in a triangle they can usually get out, it just the wrist lock and arm-bar transitioning from triangles that usually screw the opponent. I usually try staying away from that move cuz i get stacked and lose positioning.

I love the Triangle from my guard. My wrestling is shite so I end up on my back alot when sparring and that is my favorite way to win from there.

Arm Triangle.

I don't roll Jiu Jitsu (Something im planning to start though) But when watching I have to say my favourite move is the Armbar or the Triangle Choke. When the fighters execute them it's just sexual

nah but I love the technique involved, it looks brilliant.

Nice, arm triangles are pretty brutal. I recently had an in-house tournie and placed 2nd, im going tomorrow to one as well, hoping that the effects of alcohol consumption tonight dont mess me up too bad.

Triangle chokes are my favorite.

I like the armbar, simple and easy to execute and if you play a tactical game very difficult to escape, same goes for triangle choke and arm triangle.

erm... lol probably a neck crank or canopener from the gaurd position (being in someone gaurd) honestly its the crappest move in the world but people dont expect it and when it goes on it hurts. and probably armbar from bottom position.
