What is the science behind a sleeper/chokehold?

577 views

What happens physiologically to make someone unconscious during this kind of hold? How do you know you’re not suffocating someone or causing serious damage?

There are two kinds of chokes: blood chokes and air chokes. Blood chokes target the arteries that carry blood to your brain. Air chokes target your airway, suffocating you. It’s just a matter of technique using your arm to cradle someone’s neck so that you’re squeezing on their carotid arteries instead of their throat.
