Punch Choke

Submission · Mount

An Ezekiel without the gi: the bony blade of your forearm presses the throat, so it is mostly a windpipe choke. From low mount it comes when he keeps his elbows tight and gives you no arm. Slide one forearm across his throat, blade toward the throat, and put your other fist against the back of that wrist so it drives the first arm deeper; the fist does the job of the sleeve grip. Drop your chest onto your hands with your hips low so he cannot bridge, and push the fist forward. Your chest weight does the work; if it does not choke, change the forearm angle instead of pushing harder. If he pushes your elbows, take the armbar from mount; if he turns to his side, go to technical mount.

How to do it

  1. In low mount, slide one forearm across their throat, the bony blade of the forearm turned toward the throat.
  2. Put your other fist against the back of that wrist, so the second arm pushes the first one deeper.
  3. Drop your chest onto your hands, keeping your hips low so they cannot bridge you off.
  4. Drive the fist forward to tighten: your chest weight does the work, and if it does not choke, adjust the forearm angle rather than push harder.

Key details

  • It is an Ezekiel without the gi: the fist does the job of the sleeve grip.
  • Your chest weight does the work, not your arm strength.
  • The forearm blade goes across the throat; the soft side spreads the pressure and does not choke.

Common mistakes

  • Using the soft side of the forearm. — The pressure spreads and nothing chokes. — Turn the bony blade of the forearm in.
  • Sitting up to squeeze. — Sitting up takes your weight off them and their bridge throws you off. — Stay low, chest on your hands.
  • Forcing it with the arms. — It becomes pain without a finish. — Adjust the angle of the forearm rather than push harder.

How to drill it
