Anaconda choke

Also called Anaconda

An arm-in choke from front headlock where your arm wraps the neck first, then threads through the armpit. A roll often brings them down into it.

Key steps

  1. From front headlock, wrap your arm under their neck.
  2. Thread that hand up through their armpit so one of their arms is inside the loop.
  3. Close the loop by gripping your other biceps; that arm's hand goes onto their back.
  4. Roll through to your side to bring them down, or flatten them.
  5. Squeeze your elbows together to finish.

Key details

  • Snug the lock against their neck first; any slack you take into the roll only grows.
  • Keep their trapped arm pinned against their head.
