If you want to become dangerous in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, then you need to “up” your defense as well… For, if you’re comfortable with the thought of getting caught in a submission – because you know you can escape it – then you’ll feel comfortable taking risks and going for submissions.
There are many ways to escape and counter a choke. There is the early escape, the middle escape and the late ‘Hail Mary’ escape.
Saulo Ribeiro explains about how to escape from your opponent’s submission that you need good posture and by cutting at an angle, you can apply pressure on our opponent in a way to force open the hold.
