When it comes to chokes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, there are a lot of variations to them… But all of them have one thing in common.
One thing that, when you understand it, will make your choking mechanics so much more successful – and you so much more creative when it comes to creating submission opportunities.
And that is: blocking/restricting blood flow to the brain. If you can successfully do that – either on one or both carotid arteries – you’ll get the tap!
And yes, you’ve guessed it right. That’s precisely the reason why something like the No Arm Triangle Choke can work. It’s all about finding an opportunty to block the carotid arteries.
