Anaconda Choke — the final stage finish

Blue beltNo-Gi0:08Archive lesson

Only the end of the anaconda, on purpose: the caption calls it "Anaconda Final Stage" and "a very efficient and fun way to finish the anaconda choke." The clip opens with the choke already locked in no-gi, and spends its 8 seconds on how Deivid keeps the partner from rolling out and squeezes the finish home.

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:03

Start already locked on top

Deivid, in a black and white rashguard, is crouched over the partner with the anaconda grip already connected around the partner's neck and one arm. The partner is underneath him, curled on his side.

STEP 2 · 0:03–0:06

Walk around and trap the partner's legs

Deivid walks his body around the partner and brings his own legs over and across the partner's legs, hooking them in so the partner cannot roll away from the choke as it tightens.

STEP 3 · 0:06–0:08

Settle the hips and squeeze

He settles in close on his side, still wrapped around the neck and arm, and squeezes. The partner taps with an open hand in the last frames.
