Leg-over choke
Also known as Buggy Choke — the canonical term used on this site.
Descriptive — leg-over closing geometry
Leg-over choke is the descriptive name for the buggy choke — flagging the leg-over closure mechanic that the attacker uses to complete the strangle’s bilateral compression from underneath.
Etymology. “Leg-over” specifies the closure mechanic: the attacker’s leg passes over the configuration to close the loop. “Choke” attaches the submission category. The descriptor appears in instructional contexts that emphasise the leg-mechanic over the metaphorical “buggy” name.
Mechanics. The leg-over closure transfers the attacker’s leg weight into the closing pressure — bilateral compression follows from the closed-loop geometry.
Cross-reference. “Buggy choke” is the canonical name. Full mechanical coverage on Buggy Choke.
