My partner did not feel me tap at first. It was just a second delay but I was
out.

I got put in a perfect Peruvian Necktie the one time I got to visit HQ. most people don't do it right so I figured I would fight right out. 3 seconds later my vision went black and it felt like my entire body fell asleep. Luckily last milliseconds I was able to attempt a tap and he let go. Weirdest feeling ever

Happened to me just last week. All I remember is my head being pulled up and then three people in my face asking me if I was ok. I was like, "yes, I'm ok. I'm just taking a nap." Then I thought, "Why the hell am I taking a nap in jiu jitsu class?" It was a bit confusing for a minute. Then I went back to training.

I do remember having a dream while I was out though. I can't remember the dream, but it was accompanied by the most amazing feeling of euphoria. I can't even describe it. Incredible.

Almost went out at the Lutador tournament a couple of weeks ago. I was winning by points but the guy got my back and put in a weak bow and arrow choke, we went out of bounds with 12 seconds left. The ref wasn't apparently up to date on the rules and allowed the guy to sink in a super deep bow and arrow choke. I was nearly out when the match ended, I didn't want to tap being so close to winning the match and having been screwed over. My vision got super blurry and I felt pretty dang good haha couldn't hear very much either.

I'm a scaredy-cat and tend to tap out soon (too early if anything). But I wanted to share this episode of the Fightworks podcast from 2008, which was dedicated to Getting Choked out in Jiu Jitsu.
Its got personal experiences from fighters and, medical advice and explanations from Doctors.

http://thefightworkspodcast.com/2008...d-unconscious/

Breakdown of the Podcast:
0:00-17:00- Audio calls and detailed personal experiences of being choked out.
17:00-32:00- UCSD Emergency Medicine Specialist and BJJ Purple belt, Dr. Aaron Schneir, explains the physiological facets of
*what happens when you're being choked.
*what to do when someone gets choked out (and what not to do).
*what sorta permanent damage can be caused by being choked out.
32:00-44:00- Plugs, advertizements and other schisse.
44:00-58:00- A recordeds segment from another podcast,
comparing pilots doing high-G moves and jiu jitsu practitioners getting choked out.


PS-The "good news" is that studies on Judoka have concluded that there is no permanent/long term damage from just being choked out.

I got put to sleep by a darce a few years ago by Dave Garcia

I got Ezekiel Choked in a Judo match one time, woke up a loser. Lol.
