Frame and Posture Escape from Buggy Choke Defender

You oppose the performer of this action. Keep the Buggy enclosure connected while respecting neck safety. Follow small posture changes with controlled hip movement. Use the remaining connection if the caught player cannot clear the loop. Recognize the distinct triangle enclosure only if the neck and one arm are captured by the legs. If the player fully disengages, retain facing open guard instead of claiming the choke remains.

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.
