Drill

Instructions

1. 1From back control, thread your choking arm under the chin, not the throat.
2. 2Connect your biceps to the same-side shoulder with a figure-four or hand-in-collar grip.
3. 3Pull the head back with your grip hand before squeezing your arms.
4. 4Finish by expanding your chest, not just curling the forearm.

What to focus on

Full connection (chin, bicep, shoulder) before any squeeze.

Common mistake

Squeezing early with a loose grip, which tires the arm without threatening the choke.
