    Common BJJ Problems & FAQ

    Q: Why does my opponent's arm slip out when I try to set up the Ezekiel choke from mount?

    Your opponent's arm is likely slipping because you're not creating a tight seal with your forearm against their carotid artery. Ensure your choking forearm is pressed firmly against their neck, and your other arm's fist is deep in their collar, creating a rigid frame that prevents them from posturing up or creating space.

    Q: How can I finish the Ezekiel choke from mount if my opponent is defending by tucking their chin?

    To counter a tucked chin, focus on driving your choking forearm *underneath* their chin and into their neck, using your bicep to apply upward pressure. Simultaneously, use your free hand to pull their head towards your choking arm, creating a fulcrum that forces their chin to break away and allows the choke to engage.

    Q: What's the best way to maintain strong top pressure when applying the Ezekiel choke from mount so they can't escape?

    Maintain pressure by keeping your chest heavy on their chest and your hips low, driving your weight into them. Your knees should be flared out and anchored, preventing them from bridging or shrimping, while your choking arm's fist stays anchored in their collar to maintain a consistent, unyielding grip.

    More Questions

    How do I prevent my opponent from defending the Ezekiel choke from mount?

    Focus on maintaining tight control of their posture and head. Use your chest pressure and hips to keep them flat, making it harder for them to shrimp or create space to block your arms.

    What if my opponent turns their head away from the Ezekiel choke?

    If they turn their head, you can often use your choking arm to hook their chin or jaw and pull their head back into position. Alternatively, you can transition to a different choke like an arm triangle if they create too much space.

    Is the Ezekiel choke from mount effective against larger opponents?

    Yes, the Ezekiel choke can be very effective against larger opponents because it utilizes leverage and a strong grip rather than pure strength. The key is to get a deep grip and maintain good control of their upper body.
