Quick – what is your first impression of this choke?

If you said it was sloppy technique that you may have seen in some crappy action movie, I would have agreed with you before I knew better.

Jason has shown me how this sloppy choke can be used as a feint and make your opponent defend it easily, which leaves him open for a real choke that will put his lights out.

Another ingenious trap! You got to check this out to choke your buddies out!
