STRANGLEHOLDS 👉🏽COMPRESSION 🔑

Learning Guillotine chokes will help develop your sensitivity to applying any stranglehold in Jiu-jitsu. Why you may ask? Because the neck is the most vulnerable part of the body on humans as well as most mammals. Thus, it doesn’t take much effort to apply the choke hold, if done right, and there isn’t much resistance since the head and neck is so isolated.

The guillotine choke is the most underrated choke in jiujitsu today (especially in the gi!). People won’t see it coming!!! 🧠

A lot of students and even high level athletes will develop a guillotine choke with the mindset to “pop your opponents head off,” meaning crank and squeeze with all their might until the tap. This mindset will hinder the growth of the athletes, and hurt a lot of training partners. Think long term.

Guillotine chokes should be a pathway towards an easy finish. By applying pressure through COMPRESSION, we’re able to; adapt to our training partners body type, use the contour of our partners neck for our blade to fit in, you’ll see less injuries happening to the cervical, can definitely develop a quicker finish, and see you’ll see a lot more success with all your chokes.

HGC Ohana came out with a bang - competing in our first tournament of 2026

Both Cinthia and Ethan didn’t have anyone in their specific division and each got bumped up in weight and experience level.

Variables can sometimes be big factors in the outcome of things but as the competition unfolded in real time - both athletes were super adaptable and capable of taking on anything thrown at them.

Outstanding performance by these two.

MayyJAH Credit to these two - just to show up is tough enough. Beautiful jiujitsu techniques !

Ossss !!!

ANTICIPATION: “The fighter in the wind”

We each have a story, a struggle, a comeback, a journey, and an ending.

The human story has always associated itself with LOVE and WAR, PEACE and CONFLICT- there’s never been a point in time where we’ve ever been separated from the two.

When we put ourselves in vulnerable situations, we’re diving deep into the great unknown - to the darkest depths of the ocean. Those who test themselves are those who are learning to change chaos into order, to quiet the mind and harness inner peace during conflict.

The courage, willpower, determination and inner strength of these two athletes during their time of competition was an honor to watch.

May peace of mind be forever in your favor. Ossss

MAT AWARENESS: 3 Principles of maintaining awareness 🧠 ⚡️

✅ GRIPS - what am I gripping, what use does it have, can I only grip with my hands or can I use my hooks, feet, arm? Are my grips controlling my opponent? Grip transitions? When my grips get broken, am I re-gripping accordingly?

✅ INSIDE DOMINANCE: Defending an attack requires understanding how to protect your inside position. Think; underhooks, chest to chest, inside hooks with the legs, leg pummeling, foot pummeling, etc. Are you framing when you need to? Are you dominating the inside position or is your opponent winning that battle?

✅ CONTROL: controlling your opponent is all about SELF CONTROL FIRST!!! You must be able to be comfortable in uncomfortable positions, maintain your breathing, recognize patterns in your opponent, prefer the strong position over submissions, use the energy needed only to perform the techniques. Don’t burn yourself out!

Ashi-X / Single Leg X

MANTRA: Clamp, isolate hip, strong feet, active hands, good posture

GOALS: You want your opponent to either be occupied by putting his/her hands on the floor, or have them fall onto their butt

OBJECTIVES: Remain under your opponent to off balance their weight with a complex yet simple way of “pushing and pulling,” their weight off their center line.

COMMON MISTAKES: Letting your opponent grab your head and let them regain their footing on the mat

FINISHES: sweeps, back takes, and leg locks

*Master the Ashi-X, watch your guard become impassible*
