Setting up no gi chokes is an invaluable skill that every serious grappler needs in their submission arsenal.
These chokes are powerful tools whether gi or no gi, sport, mma, self defense, etc.
Turtle position is one of the most common and versatile positions from which to gain an understanding of how these chokes effectively work. A scramble or a sprawl is usually what will make this position happen , and occurs frequently in a variety of contexts.
If you can’t get the choke from North-South for whatever reason, such as your arms being too long or the choke simply not being in place… Then you can go for the Front Rear Naked Choke!
