Starting Position

The practitioner begins with both hands cupping the inside of the opponent's thigh. The wrist is positioned underneath the opponent's elbow, establishing a secure grip foundation for the technique.

Hand Configuration

The right hand connects to the left hand, creating a unified control structure. This hand-to-hand connection is essential for generating the compression force needed for the choke.

Step One: Pull to Knee

The first movement involves pulling the opponent's head toward the knee. This action begins to compress the neck while establishing positional dominance.

Step Two: Maintain Tension

Constant tension must be maintained throughout the transition. This prevents the opponent from creating space or escaping the choke.

Step Three: Push and Lift

The final movements combine a pushing action with an upward lift. This two-part motion completes the compression choke by maximizing pressure on the neck.
