Wanna know if anyone here knows the physical realities/risks of CHOKES in BJJ
Whenever someone tries any sort of collar chokes/blood chokes, I seem to have a tendency to fade out rather quickly, even if its not really sunk.
This happens so frequently that I have become familiar with the sensation, and have sort of drawn a line as to where/when I should tap and when I think I'm OK and can manage an escape.
However many times even when I escape, I'm a bit dreamy for a few seconds. I can clear my head pretty quick and keep going, but I would like to know if this is really stupid or not/how much damage I may be doing.
Should I be tapping every time I feel even the slightest effects of a blood choke? Even just a little? Is it OK to get just a little bit foggy for a second if I think I am on my way to a clear escape?
This has happened a lot in my life, I'm always surprised to hear brown belts etc tell me they've never been choked out because I've been choked out plenty, lol but don't really know the seriousness of it or how risky it is for the body/brain
Again, I think its only because I may be a bit more susceptible to it. I have no trouble tapping if I think its tight, no ego here but would like to be able to keep fighting if its just a simple grip and I know its not in and I can get out. Its just that usually this process ends up in a little hint of dreaminess
How risky is this? thx
