Mounted shin choke defence
Also known as Domplata — Bottom — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: Informal — used when distinguishing from guard-based shin submissions (gogoplata, locoplata)
Informal — defending the mounted shin choke
Mounted shin choke defence is a colloquial name for the domplata bottom position — describing the domplata plainly as a shin choke applied from mount.
Etymology. “Mounted shin choke” names the threat in everyday terms, a choke with the shin from the mount; “defence” frames the bottom player’s job. The label is informal, used where “domplata” is unfamiliar.
Mechanics. The defence must act before the shin loads the neck past its safe range: relieving the pressure early, by turning the chin in or clearing the shin, keeps the throat short of the danger point. Once the shin compresses the neck toward its structural limit, the window to defend has closed.
Cross-reference. “Shin-to-throat defence” is a sibling alias. Full mechanical coverage on Domplata — Bottom.
