Loop one of your legs over their shoulder and across their neck. The leg creates the "loop" while your hand controls the opposite collar.
Pressure Application
- Pull collar grip toward you
- Drive legs upward and forward
- Keep chest to chest pressure
Variation Details
The loop choke can be modified by changing leg position, hand placement, and the angle of your body. Practice against different body types for consistency.
