Safety
Invisible Collar Choke targets the Neck. Primary risk: Neck injury from excessive pressure. Tap early; release immediately on the tap. Full safety guide ↓
The bottom Invisible Collar holder applies the vascular choke from the established high-leg enclosure, using gradual pressure and immediate release without neck cranking.
Begin as the bottom holder of the established Invisible Collar enclosure, facing the opponent. Confirm the high-leg and arm connections before attempting any finishing pressure.
Keep both raised knees supported through the hip angle while maintaining the enclosure. Use only the demonstrated vascular-choke configuration; do not substitute a neck crank when alignment is missing. An interrupted finish may leave Invisible Collar intact; opening the second leg can return to Chill Dog. Stop at a hand tap, foot tap, verbal signal or distress. Remove choke pressure before opening the legs.
Practice cooperatively with controlled movement. Stop at any tap, verbal signal, or distress; release all joint or neck pressure before changing direction. Do not force a trapped knee, shoulder, or neck to preserve the route.
