Rorion Gracie Teaches Gi Armlocks, Chokes and Foot Locks in Jiu Jitsu
Rorion Gracie is on the mat for his advanced BJJ gi series, picking up where the basics and intermediate left off. Royce Gracie is the partner taking the reps, and they move straight into step-in armlocks, collar chokes, and foot locks from both standing and ground positions.
The techniques are tighter here. Rorion shows how to feed the collar without telegraphing, how to sneak the second hand in before Royce sees it, and how the foot lock connects off a failed guard pass. Each move gets drilled slow, then fast, from every angle.
Then it shifts. Rorion mounts Royce and both men start talking - out loud, move by move. Every grip change means something. Every hip shift is a signal. Royce is already adjusting before the attack comes.
This is the chess game Rorion keeps referring to. He's hunting the collar choke. Royce is three moves ahead. Does Rorion find the opening, or does Royce shut every door before it opens?
