According to Coach Brian at TeachMeGrappling, place one hand around the opponent's neck with palm down and the other hand around the hip with palm down. Keep your hand deep and tight to the chest—the deeper your hand placement, the stronger your control and the harder it is for them to break the grip or escape the choke.
Coach Brian emphasizes that a proper seatbelt lock requires getting your hands deep and locked down tight, not just a surface grip. A weak grip leaves your hands exposed to peeling attacks and allows the opponent to escape, whereas proper depth and lock-down positioning prevents the opponent from breaking free even when they fight your hands.
Coach Brian teaches that you should never put your grip hand on top in a vulnerable position. Instead, keep your hands deep and maintain proper lock-down—the key is that when your opponent tries to peel the grip, you control the threat and can crawl deeper into position, ultimately finishing the choke.
Coach Brian advises against worrying about finger grabs—squeeze their fingers just as you would any other part of grappling, and use your grip to break their hand or wrist control. Avoid palm-to-palm grips that give them easy finger access; instead, use positions that limit their ability to grab your fingers.

Основни грешки, за които да внимавате: Clasping hands too far to one side — the clasp should be centred on the opponent's chest for balanced control / Using a seatbelt without hooks — the seatbelt alone doesn't prevent the opponent from sliding down and escaping / Keeping both arms on the same side of the opponent's body — one arm must be over the shoulder, the other under the ar… / Gripping too loosely — the seatbelt must be tight; gaps allow the opponent to peel the arms.
