A front choke with thumbs pressing the carotid arteries.
Background
This hold is a blood choke hold. The hold can be performed while either standing or on the ground. It may even be more effective on the ground as the opponent will find it more difficult to strike the user or manoeuvre to resist it.
Description of the Technique
The user of the technique grabs his opponent by the collar with both hands. His hands grab the collar relatively in its back side. The hands grab the collar while raising his elbows so that the user's fingers will point towards himself. Next- the user lowers his elbows while turning his fists (while still holding the opponent's collar) so that his thumbs press against the opponent's arteries.
