Chokes - Rear Naked Choke

Most anyone training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu knows the rear naked choke. However, a lot of people let their non-choking arm become vulnerable for attack when they go to grab their bicep and then put their non-choking arm's hand behind the opponent's head.

Typically, if you are inexperienced, when you go to grab your bicep you end up bringing your arm over your opponent's shoulder which leaves your arm exposed for attack. To avoid this, while keeping your arm in tight, take your hand and place it on top of the hand of the arm that is around his neck, slide your forearm along the top of your hand until you reach your bicep for the bicep grab (your hand should now be behind his head), finish executing the choke.

This slight adjustment to your technique will keep your opponent from defending the rear naked choke - provided you already have your choking arm sunk deep around his neck.
