The Cattle Choke (also called the Bulldog Choke) From Standing Headlock is a compression choke applied from a standing headlock position where the attacker wraps both arms around the opponent's neck and squeezes — named because the control resembles a cowboy roping cattle. [1] The standing entry creates momentum and positional advantage for the choke. [1],[2]
Developed within the BJJ/grappling submission system. [1]
Used in BJJ, MMA, and submission grappling competition. [1]

The cattle choke from standing headlock is a submission technique that transitions from a standing control position into a ground-based choke. Brandon Quick (Brandon Quick channel) provides detailed instruction on the setup and execution from standing, emphasizing proper head control and positioning before transitioning to the ground. Quick stresses the importance of establishing an underhook and controlling the opponent's chin—pulling it toward the attacker's ribs rather than holding it extended—to prevent the opponent from escaping into alternative wrestling positions like fireman's carry or single-leg takedowns. He demonstrates pulling the opponent down to the ground by snapping with the underhook and shoulder control, then transitioning to a wizard control position on the ground before executing the choke. Critically, Quick distinguishes between standing and ground applications, warning against reaching for the back pocket while standing because the opponent can counter with a headlock throw or arm-over escape. The welcomematstevescott channel ("PIN FOR TIME AND APPLY THE SUBMISSION TECHNIQUE") addresses the broader context of pinning-to-submission transitions in competitive grappling, demonstrating how control positions establish the foundation for subsequent submissions including chokes. While welcomematstevescott does not specifically detail the cattle choke, the instruction reinforces the principle that effective submission work requires secure positional control before applying the final technique. Both instructors agree on the primacy of head control and the importance of ground positioning before initiating the choke.

The Palm-to-Palm variation of the standing Cattle Choke uses a palm-to-palm clasp (Gable-style grip) to secure the choking configuration — the strongest clasp available, preventing grip stripping during the choke attempt. [1,2]
The S-Grip variation of the standing Cattle Choke uses an S-grip (four fingers interlocked) to clasp the hands during the choke — providing a different grip texture than the Gable grip that some practitioners find more secure for this particular choke angle. [1,2]
According to Steve Scott, you should trap your opponent's arm in front of you so they can't reach around the back, then grab behind your knee and squeeze their head hard to make bridging more difficult. This arm positioning prevents them from using leverage to escape.
Steve Scott emphasizes keeping your hips correctly aligned and not giving up your base by leaning too far forward. If you want to make the submission nastier, you can set up an underhook on the far side instead of compromising your position.
Make sure to bring the arm back and squeeze the wrist to prevent them from wiggling their arm around, then move your knees together to trap them in place while keeping them on their back.

Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Establish Control Position → Secure the Specific Grip → Position the Choking Surface → Apply Compression → Finish.
Стандартные контрприёмы: Hand fighting — stripping the grip before the choke is set / Chin tuck — protecting the throat / Posture — creating distance to prevent the choke / Turning — turning to face the attacker.
Распространённые варианты: This is a specific variation (see parent genus/species for alternative variations).
Used in BJJ, MMA, and submission grappling competition.
Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Applying too fast — gradual application is safer and often more effective / Wrong grip positioning — the specific grip variation defines this technique; incorrect grip = different technique / Not controlling posture before applying / Holding after the tap — release immediately.
