The BJJ Gi is Unrealistic , But What About a T Shirt Choke ?
I recently went to do some BJJ training with Eli Knight down in Paducah Kentucky. He’s another BJJ Black Belt living in Kentucky who’s killing it on Youtube. So I had to meet him.
During our training session we got some rolls in, shared techniques and a few stories. 1 story that I thought was really interesting in regards to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in a street fight situation involved a man using a t shirt choke to defend himself.
The t shirt choke is the basic X choke. Something you maybe learned in one of your 1st beginner BJJ classes. The only difference is that you roll up the t shirt to create a stronger grip.
In this video Eli and I talk about the realism of the Brazilian Jiujitsu gi and BJJ training itself. And Eli also shares this story while demonstrating how to use the t shirt choke.
If you’re interested in finding out more about Eli Knight, check out his youtube channel at:

I hope you found the video informative or at least entertaining.
But whether you like the gi or dislike the gi.
I hope the points made in the video gave you some perspectives for BJJ training and how it can translate over to a fight situation.
Not every technique from BJJ translates to a fight outside the gym. But the BJJ training helps prepare us for uncertain circumstances and being able to adjust to the chaos of a fight.
Thanks for watching the video! Talk to you guys next time.
