How to Apply TIGHTEST Rear Naked Choke for MMA/BJJ 

works super well. I did this on my grandma and still hasn't woken up after 2 hours

This is a super useful tip. Thanks Johnny Sins!

Me: hey brother can I practice something on you Bro: sure Me: good night

I trust him because he is part of the science/medical division.

i came to this channel after an year or so and saw this video. I was like... when did Shane get this old.

love it! Italian driver is great description

Mr Clean mopped the floor with his opponent!

Finally a video that explains everything every part of your arms and where they need to go and why.

I'm watching this while in a choke hold.

Wow! What an amazing breakdown! There are so many pitfalls to this choke that I had no idea about. This is real mastery! Thank you for sharing the art!

Very informative and detailed instruction, particularly liked the detail given on locking in the hold by sliding the left arm behind the head to keep the movement shrouded.

Thank you so much for teaming up Shane and Stephan! I subscribe to you both and this helps so much, didn't realize I was doing some stuff wrong! Thanks!

I've been trying to find someone on YT that taught a detailed breakdown on this. Now, I know what I've done wrong to finish it quickly without having to cause injury. Thank you Stephan and Shane for bringing them on.

I love watching Stephen's videos, im happy to see him in a fight tips video!

So I did judo for over a decade and al together bjj for about 2 years, forgot most of it though, and this was the most descriptive rear naked choke instruction I have ever seen. I like the distinction between the blood and air choke.

Two of my favourite youtubers, this was really confusing at first as I watch everyone of both of your vids, keep up the good work guys!

Wow, somehow I didn't expect you to invite Stephan Kesting. I've watched him for years now, I think he's the best jiujitsu coach on youtube. Great choice :)

I was so exited to see Stephan on fight tips, my favorite RU-vidrs

Greatest ilustration I have seen on youtube yet. Not practising bjj myself (yet), but I think it's very elegant and I sure will try it out one day... Subscribed

Star Trek gi and shirt😅😅. I love it

Thank you Stephen. Like you said, a technique that every martial artist should have in their bag of tricks

Wow ! Very detailed and well explained guide. Nice to see some guest trainers coming in to chip in to your channel. Keep em up Shane !

fight tips and grapple arts! two of my favorite channels... great collaboration!

Found this video while surfing the ol' interweb. I wanted to write and tell you I love, love, love the Trek gear. You have a great attitude and easy instruction style. I enjoyed this video. Thanks guys.

Nice catch for guest instructor!

The best rear naked choke tutorial I've seen so far. Awesome vid. Keep it up... 👍 Gonna go now & check Mr. Kesting out.

Tried it on my little brother. He is sleeping on the floor now.

FINALLY someone who explains how to apply pressure by bringing the elbows together. For some reason, all the other videos leave out that tip. I got to this video by wondering if guys with skinny arms could do the rear naked choke. If you don't have big forearms and biceps (like me) then how can you apply pressure to the neck, I thought. Well, you showed me how arm size doesn't matter when you bring your elbows together. Thanks.

A surefire counter to a choke hold is to yell "HARDER DADDY" to confuse your attacker

Love this! You explained every move thoroughly

No way, it's Stephan Kesting! His channel is awesome

Thanks for putting a video about Stephan Kesting and Ritchie Yip !

Liked for the old school, Starfleet commander uniform... and the excellent technique! Edit: I just noticed the dude has a the science insignia! That's so brilliant!

I’ve been a bouncer/bartender for 10 years now. Been about 12 times I’ve had to give a crazy guy a nap. Every single time, everyone around was so horrified I was going to kill them. I always keep it less than 60 seconds. Unfortunately there are some HUGE men that are extremely dangerous sometimes that get drunk at bars and start attacking. I’d much rather jump onto his back and put him to sleep this was rather than punch him or hit him in the head till he passes out. I never used your method of anchoring the left arm into the back before you cross your arms. And I have def fucked up and didn’t have my forearm in the right position a hand full of times like you mentioned in the end. I always noticed they struggled so much harder when I messed up like that. It makes sense too ofc. Thanks for the info brother

good job shane. been a fan of stephan kesting for years

stephan kesting on fighttips? the stars have finally aligned.

Stephan is a fantastic bjj coach.. Thanks Shane for this collab..

Awesome collab!

I loved the explanation. Really well done. Better than any other explanation I've seen online. I must say, though, I was surprised to find out you're a science officer. You strike me more as a security officer. Need a gold shirt. :)

I dig the Spock shirt! It seems the shrugging and inhaling actually makes this hold tight more so than the hand behind the neck. It actually seemed almost irrelevant at one point grappling a guy so big, the hold was extremely tight before I could even come close to reaching behind his head. Mid 2s versus low 3s here. Most guys you see drilling, are in the area of 160-200 lbs. so there perhaps might be more space in range of the applying guy's chest and the receiving guy's upper back. I actually had my hand on his forehead when he tapped but I think the key was that the initial forearm hook was already good, so once I hooked the second arm, "the Italian driver" as you called it, that was it.

0:44 shit started getting a lil spicy 👀

So many bad memories of my bf doing this to me

WHAT?! STEPHAN KESTING?! NICE CATCH, SHANE! GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS, STEPHAN!

Wow Shane kesting is a great martial artist his channel is probably the best fighting one behind yours.

Awesome tutorial! Loved this Starfleet's Gi!!!

Did this on my brother and he is in the best sleep he has ever had thank u so much🙏🙏

Superb Illustration! Two cousins down and going for the third now. Thanks a lot!

Great choice of what guest to have to demonstrate the RNC. I love this channel!

Pls more of this guy. Very informative

stephan kesting is really nice iva watched his videos a while, worth taking a look

Love Stephan Kesting. Super down-to-earth guy. Keeps it real too.

Great instruction thanks, love the starfleet you got going on there.

Wish I had an instructor like you. Very clear.

Sweet! Thank you for that. I loved it!!

I tried it out, it worked, I didnt press down until the opponent moved. Great video. I would like to try some more chokes. post some online, etc. Thanks

Amazing tutorial. Basics win battles!

Thanks dude! Amazing explanation!

I remember always just pulling back when I was younger air choke style. Glad I learned my mistakes.

Shane I hope you upload a video about bob 'n' weave in boxing . Thanks for the amazing all time content

Great instructions. Thank you.

Stephan Kesting on fight tips? Sick!!!

Awesome video. Congrats guys.

Great instruction, thank you

With the Star trek rashguard you've just made me a fan!

I like John Danaher's method better where you don't squeeze the biceps, but you pull that right elbow to back using the more powerful back muscles between the shoulder blades. That method is so powerful that even if it's over the chin and even if the victim has both hands inserted and pulling out down on your arm, you can still get the choke.

I was litter all watching videos on this earlier and thinking fight tips should do a video on this and then when I get back from karate,you have:)

Nice shirt 👍. A real badass can nerd it up a little. Hoping I can pull that attire off soon with a little more self confidence.

thanks for a super useful vid!

Great tip, i always thought that pushing their head forward was the best way.

stephan is great, i watch his videos alot

stephans vids.. always detailed.

awesome stuff gonna try this next time thanks guys :)

Very helpful, thank you.

This move is really breathtaking

The Italian driver lmao I like that

i enjoyed it both as a martial arts enthusiast and a trekkie.

Great video love the shirt! May the force be with you!. How many people will this piss off 😂

Ritchie Yip is awesome! Learned how to shoulder roll through that guy.

Thanks this was well detailed.

why does blue shirt look like bros from star trek

Wow first time a down to earth BJJ guy!!!!!!!!!!he presents BJJ well.

As a white belt this was amazingly helpful thank you!

"So you can do the rear naked from standing, on the ground with your hooks in, or the person's belly down, the easiest way to teach it, though, is one guy kneeling and the other guy right behind him. So to make this a little easier to see, I'm gonna rip this shirt off..." Come on, guys! Phrasing all over!

Breath in, and pull your shoulders back. That shit makes it super tight.

maaaan very good video!

Worldclass! Thanks you!

Awesome channel i love it

thank you, this might come in handy one day

Star fleet approved. Does this guy also have the Vulcan neck pinch?

Good tips. And btw I'm a huge star trek fan

That's awesome thanks guys !

YEEE Grapple arts and fight tips together!

Just did this to my dad and he took my laptop and PS5

Excellent instruction.

Didn't expect to see Stephan here lol I'm a sub :P

Excellent video
