My inspiration: At the 2012 Master and Senior World Jiu-Jitsu Championships, I was watching a match featuring one of my all-time favorite BJJ Players – Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro in action. Shawn Williams (a 3rd Degree Renzo Gracie Black Belt) was working as commentator for Budovideos.com’s live web stream at the time.

During the match, Vitor “Shaolin” passed the guard of his opponent. Moments later, Shaolin progressed to a knee-on-belly which induced his opponent to turn away; during that transition Vitor attached himself to his opponent’s back while catching his opponent’s collar simultaneously.

In the moments of setting up his finishing sequence(s), Shawn Williams keenly watched and predicted that Vitor had the option to attack his opponent with a clock choke”if he couldn’t put his hooks in. Within a second of voicing this opinion on air Vitor Shaolin’s opponent attempted to run his escape and Vitor transitioned to a clock choke … then to a 2-collar choke that forced his opponent to tap out – just as Williams predicted. During the post match commentary, Shawn Williams stated that he taught that scenario (i.e. back attacking situation) a month before the tournament and labeled it a worthy study so it always stuck in my mind.

Fast forward a year later and I had the chance to meet Shawn at the 2013 IBJJF Dallas International Open. After his competition experience was complete I asked him to show that exact technique from the 2012 tournament and he was kind enough to demonstrate it on video for the Texas BJJ Community.

Now this video was shot impromptu so please forgive the quality of the audio but like Shawn said, this setup is definitely a worthy study. We hope you enjoy.
