Arm triangle choke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arm triangle choke (or simply arm triangle) is a generic term describing chokeholds in which the opponent is strangled in between his or her own shoulder and the performers arm. This is as opposed to the regular triangle choke, which denotes a chokehold using the legs, albeit with a similar mechanism of strangulation against the opponent's own shoulder. An arm triangle choke where the performer is on the side of the opponent and presses a forearm into opposite side of the neck of the opponent is called a side choke, such as from the kata-gatame hold.
[edit] Anaconda choke
An anaconda choke is a guillotine with an added body scissors. The opponent is held tightly from on top, and the person performing the chokehold forces one leg across the victims body, and then over laps his second leg over the ankle of the first, just like a triangle choke, creating pressure on the abdomen and the diaphram, impairing the ability to breathe. This move has recently gained popularity for its ability to combine a carotid artery choke with a move to restrict breathing, making it even more effective than the rear naked choke.
It is not to be confused with the north south arm choke, or north south kate Gatame, which is more commonly known as a "gator roll choke".
