Z-Guard Punch Choke Series | BJJ Control & Submissions

From Gracie Allegiance Texas

October 13, 2026

TECHNIQUE OF THE WEEK | Z-GUARD PUNCH CHOKE SERIES

Join Professor Tommy Montoya, 3rd Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, at Gracie Allegiance Texas for an instructional breakdown of the Z-Guard Punch Choke Series.

In this episode, we explore the technical principles of controlling an opponent from the Z-Guard and Z-Half Butterfly positions, creating opportunities for effective submissions through leverage, positioning, timing, and maximum efficiency.

Our approach emphasizes more than memorizing techniques. We focus on understanding the principles that make Judo and Jiu-Jitsu effective under resistance, with applications extending into practical self-defense and technical development.

At Gracie Allegiance Texas, we preserve the foundations of traditional martial arts while continuing to develop the knowledge, discipline, and skills necessary for modern grappling.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
