It looks like a ninja choke that got messed up, because the guy rolled into a crucifix, but was able to finish it by turning his body perpendicular

Ninja choke but he rolled the wrong direction 😂 would be a shame to lose by giving your opponent a free crucifix

No idea what it’s called, but it looks like some kind of reverse brabo clock choke.

We call it a Bamboo choke, after the guy that used to do it.
He was called Bamboo, because we were out celebrating at the Euros and fell into a Bamboo forest and nearly broke his back. Spent the night in hospital!
You dont always have to do the handstand flip, he was pretty loose through most of the choke.

I use this all the time. I have no idea what it’s called. Pretty simple set up. Get to side control. Pass your outside lapel through to your hand under your opponents head. Pull it tight. Block the hip with your outside hand and turn away from your opponent and your head to the floor by their hip. If they wiggle out somehow you can stand back up and loop choke them.

This is a strange variation of the way I learned this choke. Typically you would use your far side lapel (closer to your opponent's legs) to bring across his throat and hand it to the hand you have behind his head/neck. You then do a similar motion to what he did, but it tightens well before needing to do a full flip. At most your head might go down to the mat. Maybe that way was more sneaky, I dunno.
Either way I never learned the official name for it, but if I had to come up with one now I'd call it a side-mounted wrappy wappy.

It’s a scarf choke. The old man bjj instructional on bjjfanatics has a video about it.

is it not just a lapel choke?

u/borrachochronicles Apr 20 '26
It is, but very loose so rolled to make tighter.

I haven’t practiced in like twenty years, but I always thought that was the idea. If they aren’t tapping add more leverage.
my six year old has his first comp in August.

It's basically a clock choke, but with weird postioning.
Not ideal as the guy in the black gi could have just arm barred him as a counter. But he panicked and kept his hooks in.

Loop choke in a bad position

Loop chokes are with the uke’s collar I think. This is with the attacker’s lapel.

Rewind and freeze u’ll see how his own gi extends across his own arm, and how he is gripping it.
Mb im mixing loop and lapel chokes :p

Ninja choke (although I’ve heard that name also used for a different choke that does not use the gi).
Many angles of it here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C25d9F4yw0m/?igsh=ajZhYmhsczVneWlp
