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...

Neck crank chokes are hybrid submissions that combine cervical spine manipulation with vascular or airway restriction. [4] Unlike pure chokes (which target blood/air) or pure cranks (which target the ...

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...

Cross lapel cross chokes are front-facing strangles where both hands grip the opponent's collar in a crossed configuration — each hand on the opposite side of the neck — and pull inward to compress bo...

Sliding lapel rear chokes involve gripping the opponent's collar from back control and sliding the hand across the neck to tighten the strangle progressively. [1,2] The sliding collar choke is the pri...

Necktie-lever chokes use a necktie grip (arm draped over the back of the opponent's neck) combined with a leg or body lever to apply choking pressure. [1] The Peruvian necktie is the primary technique...
