What is Technique Tuesday?
Technique Tuesday is a weekly series where I share one principle, detail, or concept that can sharpen your Jiu-Jitsu. Instead of long instructionals, these are quick, practical breakdowns you can take straight to the mats.
Each post includes:
One core technique or principle explained in clear, actionable terms
A training tip or prompt you can focus on that week
The goal is simple: give you something concrete to improve your game every Tuesday, while tying it into the bigger picture of growth both on and off the mats.

NoGi Baseball Choke
This is one of those one of those chokes that comes in handy in both Gi and NoGi. I recently taught it to a student who’s now implementing it into his top Side Control game.
Give it a try.
