Перевод: Fulcrum Headlock Choke (katakana loanword)
The elbow-fulcrum headlock choke uses the point of the attacker's elbow as the primary fulcrum against the opponent's neck from a front headlock position. [1] The attacker wraps the opponent's head, then positions the elbow tip directly against the throat or side of the neck, creating a sharp focal point of pressure. [1],[2] The free arm reinforces by pushing the opponent's head into the elbow fulcrum, generating concentrated compression on a very small surface area. [2] The elbow fulcrum produces a faster tap than broader forearm-based chokes due to the intense localised pressure, though it carries higher risk of tracheal injury. [2],[3]
The elbow-fulcrum creates intense focal pressure on the carotid artery — the bony elbow tip concentrates force into a small area. Effective against thick-necked opponents where forearm chokes may lack sufficient compression. [1]
Rooted in catch wrestling — direct bone-to-artery pressure is a traditional catch wrestling submission principle. Adapted to the BJJ front headlock system by modern grapplers. [1]
Less common in pure grappling competition but appears in catch wrestling, submission wrestling, and MMA where direct pressure techniques are valued. [1]

TRITAC Martial Arts recommends gripping deeper than the chin—your thumb should ride along the edge of the jawline, which gives you a better handle for the technique.
Keep your hips away from your opponent and maintain heavy pressure on their head by driving all your weight down into them, rather than staying close where they can access your legs.
You should have two handles: one hand on the chin and another handle to create a fulcrum effect—post on the shoulder to create space, then roll your hand forward to complete the choke.

Elbow fulcrum chokes appear in catch wrestling and military close-combat systems where maximising damage with minimal effort was the operational priority. The technique was adapted for sport grappling with greater emphasis on controlled application to prevent injury.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Placing the elbow on the trachea — the elbow must target the lateral neck (carotid groove), not the front of the throat / Using too much force too quickly — the elbow fulcrum creates intense pressure; apply progressively in training / Not stabilising the head — the other arm and chest must control the head position while the elbow works; an uncontrol… / Attempting without a secure front headlock — the elbow fulcrum requires positional stability; a loose headlock allows….
