Ralph Gracie Teaches Mount Control and Rear Naked Choke Setup

13 views · May 5, 2026 · Submissions Gi Intermediate
Ralph Gracie is on the ground with a training partner in white gis. This is from Ralph Gracie Vol. 2, and it's all about defense against punches, knees, head-butts, and headlocks. The partner locks in a tight headlock right away.

Ralph bridges hard, lifting his hips off the mat. A quick shrimp creates the space he needs. Now he's working for the underhook, grabbing the sleeve, and suddenly he's on top in side control. The cross-face grip comes in tight. Control is everything here.

He's setting up the kimura from side control, pulling the arm across. Then he slides the knee over for the mount. Weight drops down. The partner tries to bridge, but Ralph keeps him pinned with his chest. The rear naked choke setup is right there.

Can the training partner escape the mount? Or will Ralph lock in the choke first?
