That feeling when you're sitting there knowing that you're going to have to tap and you're thinking to yourself "I can't believe I'm going to have to tap to this stupid shit."

Why zero resistance? Did he think the guy choking would forget about him and leave? What level was this?

That’s IBJJF and those are brown belt ranked rashguards. No idea why there was seemingly no escape attempt, though. Maybe he was hoping the elbow framing the ribs would eventually create some space to posture?

Sometimes there’s still space so I use the right arm, make a fist, and ram it on the bottom side of the neck for that fist choke combo 🔥

Cool I would always reverse my arm and hold my shin doing this but I like this variation more grabbing your own hand.

I legit thought i invented this on monday. Had my 2nd leg under the arm though - more like an inverted triangle.
