Positioning from Mount

The instructor begins from a dominant mount position, establishing control over the opponent. This foundational positioning is essential before attempting the Ezekiel choke.

Initial Arm Triangle Setup

The instructor comes under the opponent's arm, creating the initial framework for an arm triangle. This movement sets up the transition into the Ezekiel choke when the opponent reacts defensively.

Responding to Arm Insertion

When the opponent inserts their arm to escape the arm triangle, the instructor immediately capitalizes on this reaction. This defensive response creates the opening needed for the choke.

Head Positioning and Neck Exposure

The instructor brings their head down and uses their chin to push against the opponent's cheek, forcing the neck into an exposed position. This creates the critical angle necessary for the submission.

Grip Establishment with Safety

Rather than gripping with fingers, the instructor secures control by coming into their own sleeve with both fingers and knuckles. This technique protects the hand while maintaining submission pressure.

Collar Control Transition

The instructor brings their opposite arm across the opponent's neck, securing a grip on the opposite side. This dual-control setup completes the choke mechanism.

Finishing the Submission

The instructor sits up with their leg to generate additional leverage and straightens both arms to apply finishing pressure. This coordinated movement produces the compressive force necessary to complete the Ezekiel choke.
