What is Loop Choke in BJJ?

Quick Definition

A gi choke using a looping collar grip around the opponent's neck.

Full Explanation

The loop choke is a sneaky gi choke applied by feeding a deep cross collar grip and looping it around the opponent's neck. It is commonly used when the opponent ducks their head to pass guard or shoots for a takedown. The loop choke can be finished from guard, during scrambles, or even from standing. It is considered a tricky technique because it often catches opponents off guard during transitions.
