Over-under choke
Also known as Brabo Choke — the canonical term used on this site.
Descriptive — over-under grip strangle
Over-under choke is the descriptive name for the brabo choke — flagging the over-under arm configuration that closes the strangle in the no-gi adaptation of the original gi-context brabo.
Etymology. “Over-under” specifies the arm-configuration (one arm over the shoulder, one under the armpit); “choke” attaches the submission category. The label predominates where the writer wants to flag the grip-geometry rather than the Portuguese “brabo” metaphor.
Mechanics. The over-under closure produces bilateral compression — the two arms load both sides of the neck via the trapped shoulder configuration.
Cross-reference. “Guard D’Arce” is the position-context variant; “brabo” is the canonical name. Full mechanical coverage on Brabo.
