Ezekiel Choke

The Ezekiel choke is a versatile and surprising submission in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that can be applied from various positions, making it a threat from both top and bottom. The choke is executed by gripping your own sleeve and using your forearm to constrict the opponent's neck. To set up the Ezekiel, secure a position where you can reach your own wrist with the same-side hand. Pull your sleeve towards your neck and connect your elbow to your other arm, forming a tight seal. Use this grip to apply pressure by driving your forearm into the opponent's neck, effectively cutting off blood flow. The Ezekiel choke is especially effective in no-gi variations of BJJ and certain combat sports due to its versatility and the element of surprise.
