The anaconda choke from front headlock with sit-through finish uses a sit-through motion to transition the attacker from a sprawl or kneeling position to a seated position beside the opponent, tightening the choke during the transition. [1] After locking the anaconda grip, the attacker swings one leg through and sits to the hip on the choking side, which changes the angle of pressure from vertical to lateral. [1],[2] The sit-through creates a powerful rotational force on the choke as the attacker's body weight shifts, and the seated position provides a stable platform for sustained squeezing. [2] This finish is effective when the opponent resists the gator roll by posting with their free arm. [2],[3]
История и происхождение
The sit-through finishing mechanic for the anaconda was developed by competition grapplers seeking reliable alternatives when opponents successfully defended the standard gator roll. [1] This variant became a common secondary finish in the anaconda choke toolkit during the 2010s no-gi competition era. [2],[3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Bilateral compression of the carotid arteries — restricts blood flow to the brain, causing unconsciousness within seconds
Joints Involved — Cervical spine (lateral flexion), glenohumeral joint of the trapped arm (if arm-in), nuchal region
Force Vector — Lateral squeeze creates inward pressure on both sides of the neck simultaneously
Choking Mechanism — Vascular strangle — occludes carotid arteries and jugular veins, distinct from airway (tracheal) chokes
Позиция и вход
From front headlock — Thread arm under opponent's neck and far armpit, clasp hands, gator-roll to the choking side and squeeze
From sprawl after takedown defence — Opponent's head is down, thread the anaconda grip, roll to tighten
From top turtle — Reach under the near arm and around the neck, lock hands and roll opponent onto their back
Варианты
Standard anaconda — arm threaded under the neck and over the far arm, finished with a gator roll
No-roll anaconda — finished in place without the gator roll by sprawling and squeezing
Anaconda from guard — applied from bottom position when the opponent's head is low

✓The anaconda choke wraps the arm around the opponent's neck and far arm (arm-in) from the front headlock, then finishes with a sit-through roll that tightens the squeeze — named for the constricting snake that tightens with each exhale (Danaher, Front Headlock System: Go Further Faster, 2019)
✓The grip: from front headlock, thread the choking arm around the opponent's neck and their far arm, then connect the hands in a gable or arm-triangle grip — the trapped arm pushes into the carotid
✓The sit-through finish: from the front headlock position, sit through to the opposite side while maintaining the grip — the rolling motion cinches the triangle of the arm, neck, and shoulder
✓The anaconda is an arm-triangle variant: the opponent's own shoulder is wedged against one carotid while the attacker's arm compresses the other — bilateral occlusion using the opponent's body
✓The sit-through is essential: without the roll, the choke lacks the compression angle — the rotation drives the shoulder into the neck while tightening the arm loop
✓The anaconda works best when the opponent turtles or shoots: the head-down, arms-forward position creates the ideal angle for threading the choking arm around neck and arm
✓Milton Vieira popularised the anaconda choke in competition, and it has become a staple front-headlock submission alongside the guillotine and D'Arce
Типичные ошибки
!Not including the far arm in the choking loop — the anaconda specifically requires the arm trapped inside; without it, the shoulder doesn't wedge against the carotid
!Threading too shallow — the choking arm must pass deep enough around the neck and arm to connect the hands; shallow threading creates a loose choke
!Sitting through to the wrong side — sit through toward the side of the choking arm; sitting opposite loosens the wrap
!Not completing the full roll — the sit-through must roll the opponent onto their side; stopping halfway leaves the choke loose
!Squeezing with arm strength alone — the compression comes from body positioning and the shoulder wedge, not muscular squeezing
!Attempting on an opponent who has posture — the anaconda requires the head to be low; against an upright opponent, use snap-downs first
!Releasing the grip during the sit-through — maintain the hand connection throughout the roll; the transition is the most vulnerable moment for grip loss

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the difference between a palm-to-palm grip and a figure-four grip in the anaconda choke?
Most practitioners prefer the figure-four grip over palm-to-palm in the anaconda position. According to Bernardo Faria's breakdown of John Danaher's system, the figure-four grip is the standard choice for this choke.
What should I do if I can't get to the T position to finish the anaconda?
If you cannot achieve the T position, you can switch to finishing with what Danaher calls the 'God position' instead. This gives you an alternative finish when the standard T position isn't available.
How do I decide whether to go for a gear jing or another attack from the anaconda grip?
Position determines your attack choice: the further back the opponent's head is positioned, the more you should target gear jings; the further forward and across, adjust your attack accordingly. Mastering the T position is essential for becoming effective with anaconda variations.
