Deep dives

The Rise of the Roadhouse Choke

The Roadhouse choke, gaining popularity among grapplers, is a strangle that maintains a unique position and technique. It is characterized by keeping the elbow bent and aligning the center of gravity over the opponent's neck, making it difficult for the defender to escape. The name originates from the iconic movie featuring Patrick Swayze, where a throat-gripping maneuver is depicted. By utilizing this choke effectively, practitioners can disrupt the defender's stability and create openings for submissions.
