Strikers can knock people out while grapplers choke them out. When someone loses consciousness through a hold on his neck, this is usually due to a blood choke. But what exactly is a blood choke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blood choke is a chokehold or a stranglehold that cuts off the blood and air supply to the brain by pressuring the carotid arteries in the side of the neck. When properly executed, a blood choke can send someone to sleep in seconds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Blood chokes are perhaps the most critical submissions in BJJ because they are the most effective and can potentially send everyone to sleep regardless of size, strength, or toughness. So, learning how to use them effectively should be a crucial part of your training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A blood choke is a technique that closes the carotid arteries through pressure, thus restricting blood flow to the brain. Oxygen is transported to the brain by blood, and the abrupt interruption of this flow results in a quick loss of consciousness. This is known as being choked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The correct word for a blood choke is strangulation. A choke is when something obstructs the airflow to the lungs, which can be food, water, or external factors like a chokehold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A strangle is the act of restricting blood flow to the brain. But in grappling, both are referred to as chokes, with the terms used to distinguish them being air chokes and blood chokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The airways are close to the carotid arteries, so each strangle partially reduces the airflow, and each choke will reduce the blood flow, but the main goal of the two is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>What Is A Blood Choke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
