Description

A powerful gi choke from back control, gripping the collar while controlling the far leg, then extending to create a bowing motion.

From back control, grip collar with near hand, thumb inside. Hook far leg with other arm. Fall to choking arm side while extending legs and pulling collar. Body creates bow shape.
