Baseball choke from knee on stomach

too much space in the transition but a decent demonstration otherwise

I don't get it. He just twirled and got in a different direction of him. What'd he do that made it so painful?

It is not so painfull, the principal problem in addiction the pain, is the strangle.

It's a choke. When you twist the hands, you bring them closer together and tighter around the carotid arteries in the neck providing blood to the brain.

where did you learn/get that choke from?

when he spins to north south, the arms cross each other and the forearms cut into the carotid arteries stopping blood to the brain. This choke gets real tight real fast.

I see how his right hand is gripping the collar but how is the left hand gripping? Thumb outside or thumb inside? Anyone?

Its called a baseball choke cause of the way you grip (think your holding a baseball bat): the left thump is pointing inside and the right thumb is pointing outside.

you can alo do this choke without spinning to north south. i personally think going north south is stupid as it gives the guy on his back a chance to spin with you. personally id drop my right forearm straight down his chest and then close my forearms together. going into sidecontrol popping up on my toes and putting all my weight across his neck. no chance of escaping that way, no extra movements

left hand thumb would be inside, think of the hands as left-north, right-south
