Bjj Chokes Views
In the Guard, the practitioner is on their back controlling an opponent with their legs. The practitioner pushes and pulls with the legs or feet to upset the balance and limit the movements of their opponent. This position comes into play often when an opponent manages to place the practitioner upon his or her back and the practitioner seeks the best position possible to launch counter-attacks. This is a very versatile position from which the BJJ practitioner can attempt to sweep (reverse) the opponent, get back to the feet, or apply a variety of joint-locks as well as various chokes.
Attacking all the time might be fun, but your opponent might have other ideas in mind. In any event BJJ is not just all about offense, in fact the majority of your work should probably be spent on defense. Perhaps even more important than the great attacks described above is knowing how to escape or defend yourself against these attacks. In general the best defense is prevention: keep your chin as close as possible to your chest. Methods of escape from BJJ chokes exist, but they are rather advanced and best left to the teaching of a professional.
