Rear Naked Choke Hold

[HartfordWhalersFan]

Why do some session wrestlers clamp on the RNC for so long? Safa Wada likes to watch her opponents convulse when she has them trapped in her RNC. I don't like a fake KO, but I wouldn't want anyone to suffer a heart attack or stroke during a session. I have also seen Andi Paige, JC Simpson and Mikaela utilize the RNC in a brutal fashion as well.

Because they can?
If she's using the hold that flagrantly one can assume she thinks she's been given permission to do so. Generally (obviously everyone is different) a choke needs to be maintained long past the point of knockout for there to be any adverse consequences, the consensus I think says that length is upwards of 30 seconds.

Oh boy, this subject causes so much fighting whenever it comes up.  Here is my two cents.  I've been choked out and I've discussed this with a BJJ expert who also is a serious reader of serious medical literature on this and related subjects.  First air chokes are different than blood chokes.  You shouldn't let anyone cut off your air.  A 'blood choke' on the blood vessels on the side of the neck is what a rear naked is intended to do, its the side pressure that counts.  And you just 'go to sleep' after a few seconds.  I've seen any number of people get choked out and none of them, nor did I, convulse.  So not sure what was happening there.  If released soon there is no after effects.

I got choked out once, but it was a scissors "blood choke."  I am NOT a fan of these, but during some pretty intense wrestling, that is where I ended up.  I recall thinking, "My vision is getting a bit fuzzy, I'd better tap ou- . . " and then next thing I knew, the bulkette was tapping me on the cheek with a worried look on her face and calling my name. As I came to, I remember "This feels kind of shitty.  Ugh."  LOL!!  My one an only instance of getting knocked out, and like getting kicked in the balls, it's a mystery to me that a lot of guys enjoy this . . . BUT to each his own!

I don't have a thing for getting knocked out but the goal is for it to feel like it might happen, and if she's trying to make sure not to do it that is what it'll feel like. So I ask them not to avoid it and if it happens it happens.
