re: Choke Hold Ban

You apply a choke to finish a sparring round. Sometimes you feign the application of a choke you don't have proper leverage to apply to bait your opponent into another joint lock or choke that you have a higher chance of successful application or to get your self into a more dominant position. Position over submission.

Cops generally don't need to use chokeholds for control. Cops need to use effective control techniques. They are far less dangerous and are superior for achieving the desired result.
