Arm-in choke (no-gi)
Also known as Ezekiel Choke (No-Gi) — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: Describing the forearm insertion mechanic
Descriptive — no-gi-context arm-in ezekiel
Arm-in choke (no-gi) is the descriptive name for the no-gi ezekiel — flagging the arm-in geometry and the no-gi context that distinguishes it from the gi-context original where the closure used the sleeve grip rather than the biceps.
Etymology. “Arm-in” specifies the geometry; “(no-gi)” specifies the context. The compound label appears in instructional vocabulary that emphasises the structural-and-context distinction from the gi original.
Mechanics. The choke requires bilateral compression with the no-gi closure relying on the attacker’s biceps to substitute for the gi-context sleeve anchor that originally closed the loop.
Cross-reference. “Ezekiel choke” is the standard name. Full mechanical coverage on Ezekiel (No-Gi).
