[Aesopian]

I've heard and seen many brabo escapes, and most work to some degree.

My personal response to the brabo is to try to avoid it in the first place by keeping my underhook lower around their waist/hip, and usually at the first sign of it, I'll put in a butterfly hook or cross my knee on their hip to create space so they can't get their arm deep enough for it.

While I was typing this, I see jonpall replied with my this sweep, but I'm going to repeat it since it's a good counter and I already typed it all goddamnit:

I'll counter the brabo choke (or wizzer) by going flat to my back for a sweep. I'll bring my underhooking hand inside and grab their wizzering hand so they can't pull it put, then I'll grab their far knee and go flat and turn my hips so they roll to the side of their trapped arm.

I've seen people (like my MMALibrary thread that you linked) grab the back of their thigh and use it to stretch their arm and open the space but I never really use it.

I've also seen people defend by simply putting their free arm up like they're defending their neck from a collar choke, and the position of the elbow and forearm took away the finishing pressure of the choke.

But back to my first "counter", I think awareness and avoidance are the best answer.
