The ninja choke is a BJJ strangle, usually done from the side control position or north south position. The fact that this submission is applied from a top pin makes it a safe technique to use. It does not place you in a compromised position if you can’t complete the choke. This means that you can use it repeatedly for as long as you are in side control or NS.
