Master Francisco “Toco” Albuquerque, a Carlson Gracie black belt, forges ahead with a seminar tour across the United States. At the academy of black belt Mauro Ayres, a BJJ Revolution Team and Nova Geração affiliate in Davis, the teacher put together a special video for GRACIEMAG.com readers with a choke he often uses in training.
Toco urges readers to keep in mind that the arm of the hand holding the lapel for the choke (covered in the film shot) goes behind the opponent’s armpit.
