Mini Ep. 16: Blood Choke Mechanics

In this week's mini-episode we discuss blood choke mechanics! This is the concept behind all chokes we'd classify as "carotid restraints," where compression on the carotid arteries cuts off blood flow to the brain. We'll discuss the simple "triangle around the head" concept that helps tighten all blood chokes including rear naked chokes, collar chokes, triangle chokes, and head and arm chokes.

is a darce choke considered a blood choke?

[@bjjmentalmodels]

Primarily yes, but the Darce uses several different choking mechanics. We'll be talking about hybrid chokes in an upcoming mini-episode.
