There’s one submission that John Danaher believes everyone, no matter their preferences, has to work on.
No matter your game, no matter your likes or dislikes – you’ve got to learn and perfect the Rear Naked Choke.
Why? The great BJJ coach explains:
It stands above all the others in terms of effectiveness, application under all rules sets, grappling, fighting, self defense – it’s the best in all of them.
Nothing is as certain once it’s locked in place.
Nothing else creates such an imbalance between the offensive potential of your position versus the vulnerability of your opponents.
For Danaher, there’s no “ifs” when it comes to the Rear Naked Choke. You have to work on it:
With most submission holds you can choose whatever you like when it comes to building your arsenal – with the rear strangle it’s not a choice – IT’S A REQUIREMENT.
Make sure you study it deeply.
