blood choke
Cuts brain circulation
A blood choke is a chokehold that restricts blood flow to the brain rather than cutting off air.
By compressing the carotid arteries on both sides of the neck, it causes unconsciousness within seconds—faster and quieter than an air choke.
Common in martial arts and combat sports: He sank in a blood choke and the opponent went limp.
