Canto Choke

The Canto Choke is a specific gi choke in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, often associated with attacking from half guard or against a turtled opponent. Its defining characteristic is threading the choking arm (which has secured a deep cross-collar grip) under the opponent's near-side leg. This unique positioning provides powerful leverage, using the opponent's own leg and body structure to help tighten the choke effectively. It's sometimes linked to practitioners like Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira.
