Chokes and strangles are submission techniques that restrict either blood flow (strangles) or airflow (chokes) to force a tap out or render an opponent unconscious. [6] The distinction between a choke...

An arm triangle choke variation applied from the knee-on-belly position. The attacker drives the knee across the opponent’s torso to control posture, while isolating one arm against the opponent’s hea...
The arm triangle choke (kata-gatame) is a family of blood chokes that use the attacker's arms in combination with the opponent's own trapped shoulder to compress both carotid arteries. [1,2] The defin...
The Power Squeeze Finish is a one-arm rear naked choke variation that uses maximum muscular contraction of the choking arm — a brute-force finishing method where the attacker generates as much squeezi...

Back control chokes are submission techniques applied when the attacker has secured a position behind the opponent, typically with hooks (legs wrapped around the torso) or a body triangle for control....
The guillotine choke from front-headlock sprawl is applied after the attacker sprawls to defend a takedown attempt, catching the opponent's head in a front headlock and wrapping the arm around the nec...
Sleeve-assisted forearm strangles use the attacker's own gi sleeve as a fulcrum against the throat while the opposite arm provides compression from behind the head. [1,2] The Ezekiel choke (sode-gurum...
The headscissors strangle uses both legs clamped around the opponent's head (without trapping an arm) to create bilateral compression on both sides of the neck. [1,2] Unlike the triangle choke, which ...
The Peruvian necktie is a front headlock choke where the attacker wraps one arm around the opponent's neck, locks a grip, and throws a leg over the opponent's back to create downward leverage that tig...
The headscissors strangle uses both legs wrapped around the opponent's head — typically in a figure-four leg configuration — to compress the carotid arteries and/or restrict breathing. [1,2] The attac...
The arm triangle rear naked crossover combines elements of the rear naked choke and arm triangle by trapping the opponent's arm alongside their neck while the choking arm threads across the front of t...
The anaconda choke from front headlock is applied by threading the attacking arm under the opponent's far-side arm and across the near side of the neck, then locking a figure-four grip and performing ...
The two-on-one choke from front headlock with short-lever clamp uses both hands to grip the opponent's wrist and clamp the arm tightly against the throat at short range. [1] Unlike the long-lever pull...
Arm compression techniques (biceps slicers and forearm crushes) work by trapping the opponent's arm over a fulcrum — typically the attacker's wrist, forearm, or shin — and forcing the arm to fold, cru...
The Submission Defence group encompasses all defensive techniques used to prevent, escape from, or neutralise submission attempts including chokes, joint locks, compressions, and cranks. [1] Submissio...
The Peruvian necktie from closed guard with shin across the neck applies the necktie's signature leg-over-head mechanic from a bottom guard position. [1] The attacker, playing closed guard, wraps the ...
The head-and-arm choke subfamily encompasses all arm triangle variations where the attacker traps the opponent’s head and one arm together, using the trapped arm as a wedge against one carotid artery ...
The arm-in guillotine from closed guard traps the opponent's arm alongside their neck inside the choking loop, creating a head-and-arm strangle rather than a pure neck choke. [1] The attacker wraps on...
The cattle choke (bulldog choke) uses a headlock compression where the attacker wraps the arm around the opponent's neck from a front or side headlock and drives downward, using body weight and the wr...
The body-triangle extension combines body triangle back control with a cervical extension crank, using the body triangle's hip compression as an anchor while the arms drive the head backward. [1] The ...
A no-gi guard variation of the arm triangle where the attacker first immobilizes the opponent’s arm via wrist control (pinning the wrist to the mat or across the chest). With the wrist anchored, the a...
The Forearm Compression Short Choke is a rear naked choke variation where the choking arm wraps only partially around the neck. The forearm compresses one side of the neck against the practitioner's b...
The wrist-over-crown flexion places the attacker's wrist over the crown (top) of the opponent's head from a front headlock position, then drives downward to force extreme cervical flexion. [1] The wri...
