Setup & key ideas
Before you start
- Back control with access to the lapel and a connection to their leg.
Key ideas
- Use the assisting hand beneath the armpit to present the lapel to the choking hand.
- Turn the lapel inward as you secure it in your palm.
- Retain leg control with an arm hook or a grip on the pants.
Common pitfalls
- Letting the choking elbow flare gives them room to move the arm over their head.
