Double underchin choke
Also known as Bulldog Choke — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: Informal descriptive — refers to both arms going under the chin
Descriptive — two arms underneath the chin
Double underchin choke is the colloquial descriptive name for the bulldog choke — flagging the two-arm-under-chin configuration that the attacker uses to close the strangle from above.
Etymology. “Double underchin” specifies the two-arm-under-chin grip geometry; “choke” attaches the submission category. The label is descriptive and appears in coaching contexts that prefer anatomical-geometric over metaphorical “bulldog” naming.
Mechanics. The two-arm-under-chin grip closes the strangle bilaterally — the closing pressure loads both carotids simultaneously from the squat-above-the-opponent finishing posture.
Cross-reference. “Bulldog choke” is the metaphorical canonical name. Full mechanical coverage on Bulldog Choke.
