A head-and-arm choke applied from the north-south position. The attacker traps one of the opponent’s arms across their neck, drops the near-side shoulder beside the head, and sprawls chest and hips to...

A no-gi variation of the arm triangle choke applied from the open guard. Without the aid of collar grips, the attacker uses arm threading, shoulder pressure, and hip angling to isolate the opponent’s ...
The One Arm Variation Behind Head is a rear naked choke species where the choking arm wraps around the opponent's neck under the chin with the bicep and forearm targeting the carotid arteries on the s...
A no-gi variation of the arm triangle choke applied from half guard. The attacker threads their arm under the opponent’s head and traps the far arm, then uses shoulder pressure, chest connection, and ...
A kata gatame variation against turtle where the choke is secured before rolling the defender over to complete the finish. The attacker threads to trap the arm across the neck, locks the head-and-arm,...
A no-gi variation of the arm triangle choke applied from the closed guard. Without the collar grip, the attacker uses arm positioning and shoulder pressure to trap the opponent’s head and arm. Proper ...
The anaconda choke from front headlock with gator roll entry uses a rolling transition to tighten the head-and-arm strangle while repositioning the opponent from their knees to their side. [1] The att...
A side-control kata gatame finished with a full or partial sprawl. The attacker drives shoulder and chest pressure beside the defender’s head while sprawling the legs back to load weight through the r...
A kata gatame variation where the attacker breaks down the turtle and transitions directly into mount while keeping the head-and-arm locked. The choke is set from turtle, and as the defender collapses...
An arm triangle variation applied from S-Mount. The attacker raises one knee high beside the opponent’s head and swings the other knee across their chest, creating the “S” shape. This tightens control...
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 anaconda choke from front headlock with hip-walk finish uses a slow, grinding hip-walking motion to tighten the strangle rather than a rolling transition. [1] After establishing the anaconda arm w...
A kata gatame variation against turtle where the attacker collapses the defender sideways to finish the choke. After threading under the near arm and feeding it across the neck, the attacker drives sh...
The D'Arce choke applied from the front headlock position, one of the most common entries for this arm-triangle variation. The attacker uses a snap-down or sprawl to establish front headlock control, ...
A side-control kata gatame finished with one knee pinning the near-side hip and the opposite leg posted (knee-on-belly–style base). The knee-hip pin blocks shrimping and guard recovery while the poste...
The two-on-one choke from front headlock with long-lever pull uses both hands to grip the opponent's wrist and pull the arm across the throat in an extended, long-range lever action. [1] From front he...
The Headlock Control subfamily covers clinch positions where the attacker wraps one arm around the opponent's head while controlling the arm on the same side, creating a secured head-and-arm clamp. [1...
