Bow and Arrow Choke

There are so many ways to choke out someone in BJJ, it’s probably impossible to know them all but there are also a core group of chokes that most folks should know. The bow and arrow choke for the Gi, in my opinion, is one of those that you should probably learn.
Why? Because it isn’t a dead end. You can use it after failing other chokes, and there are chokes that come off of it if it fails.
A dead end move is what it sounds like: you try it, and if it doesn’t work, you have to settle back into whatever position you tried it from. There should be a name for moves that lead to other moves… a connector? A lego? A progression? Whatever we call it, submissions that lead to other submissions, or to improvements in position, are generally more useful than those that don’t.
