counters

[karate kid 1]

hi guys i was wondering if you had any good counters for getting out of grapple holds chokes ect.

[DokterVet]

There are several counters for most holds and chokes.

Be more specific.

EDIT: Here is a site with many BJJ techniques.

Some escapes from the mount for example:

Like anything you have to train this stuff to make it work.

what do you want to know? Its hard to explain by typping but wat do u want.

[karate kid 1]

well many people seem to use leg locks

too broad a question. Even if someone gives you a detailed explination of how to get out of a certain hold unless you are rolling alot and training it you proabably wont pull it off on someone who kows what they are doing.

There are hundreds of ways to choke a person, different counters are needed for different methods. How are you getting caught?

this might sound like an obvious answer but if you want to learn how to defend against grappling, you pretty much have to learn to grapple.

Definately. We used to have a saying in BJJ. "To learn is to tap".

For those who don't understand: When someone gets a good lock/choke/hold-dwon on us, we tap for submission. By losing, you learn what you did wrong and it sticks in your mind. So in short, if you want to learn to grapple, train with someone in grappling that can make you work for a while then get you to tap.
