Key steps

  1. Use one hand to peel the collar away from their neck, then feed the other hand in toward the back of the neck on the far side, thumb inside.
  2. Post your free hand on the mat above their head to keep your base.
  3. Bring the free hand back and grab the collar on the other side of their neck.
  4. Lower your head to the mat next to theirs and draw both grips tight so your wrists press into the sides of their neck.

Key details

  • Stay low and heavy; sitting tall makes it easy for them to bridge you off.
  • Set the first grip deep before taking the second, or the choke stays loose.
  • Squeeze your knees into their ribs the whole time your hands are busy.
