“In the arm-and-neck choke, once I get my elbow around—whether I’m in the mount, half-guard or sometimes in side-control—I’m really close to finishing.

The most important thing, though, is to readjust the shoulder against the opponent’s neck, right after passing his arm over to the other side of his head”
