How To Escape When The RNC Is ALREADY Locked

Trapped in a fully locked Rear Naked Choke? Don't tap yet. Luke Griffith reveals his "Late-Stage Wedge" system to survive the deepest back takes and completely exhaust your opponent's arms.

In this video, elite No-Gi competitor and John Danaher black belt Luke Griffith shows Bernardo Faria exactly how to escape a fully locked RNC when all hope seems lost. This isn't your standard, early-stage defense—it's an advanced mechanical "wedge" that creates immediate shoulder separation. By bridging and utilizing this specific arm-and-leg frame, you make it physically impossible for the attacker to finish the squeeze, leaving them frustrated and completely burned out.

If you are a BJJ hobbyist tired of getting your back taken and instantly tapping to younger, stronger grapplers, this breakdown of the "Shoulder Separator" will completely transform your submission defense.
