Executing The Brabo From Closed Guard
We start from your opponent being inside your guard. The best way to execute this move is to be holding your opponent close to you with both arms. It’s best to wrap your arms around his neck and clamp on to your other arm for full support. The closer your opponent to you in your guard the better.
This method breaks your opponent’s posture. Once you feel comfortable and have the energy to do so reach down with your left hand and start pulling open your opponents lapel.
Now once you have the lapel opened and straightened out pass it across the back of his neck to your right hand. Now take your left hand and pass it under his neck and grab the lapel from your right hand. This will create a tight choke. Now take your right hand and grab the fold on the back of his lapel and twist out your body and arm to your left side while squeezing both hands. This is how you complete the Brabo choke from the closed guard.
