Mastering the North South Choke in BJJ & MMA
The *North South Choke is a powerful submission technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and mixed martial arts (MMA) that utilizes shoulder and chest pressure to cut off an opponent’s airflow and blood circulation. This choke is applied from the north-south position, where the attacker’s body is perpendicular to the opponent’s torso. By positioning the arms around the opponent’s neck and applying pressure with the shoulder and chest, the submission becomes extremely difficult to escape. The North South Choke is frequently used in gi and no-gi BJJ, as well as UFC fights, due to its effectiveness against high-level grapplers. In this section, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of setups, variations, and instructional videos to help you refine your technique.
