In this version the attacker places their legs inside of the victim's legs. The other common technique is known as using ' hooks'. This technique was used by Anderson Silva against Dan Henderson and by Jim Miller against Melvin Guillard. This allows them to limit movement and stay close to the back of their victim. They then place their other leg over their own shin, creating a figure-four with their legs. The attacker places one of their legs across the stomach or lower chest of the victim. The placement of the legs usually falls into two categories. When applied properly, unconsciousness occurs in less than 10 seconds and recovery from the choke is just as quick. The elbows are then brought together such that lateral pressure, from the biceps and radius bone, is applied to the neck on both sides.This greatly reduces the escape possibilities. A more effective form of the choke can be applied by placing the palm of the left hand against the attacker's own shoulder rather than behind the opponent's head. The left hand is placed behind (or occasionally on top of) the opponent's head.The attacker's right hand then grasps their own upper left arm.The attacker's right arm encircles the opponent's neck, with the opponent's trachea at the crook of the elbow.The following is a description of this technique using the right arm: When applied correctly, it can cause temporary unconsciousness in a few seconds. This variant is considered to be a ' blood choke' because it restricts blood flow to the brain via the carotid arteries.
