Picture is wrong

The picture is of an arm triangle. The anaconda also requires the chokee to be in a turtle like position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.104.4.34 (talk) 21:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The two links here go to a different technique than the one described in the article. Maybe both moves are called the Anaconda Choke. Baiter 01:10, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. They were for a different technique, also called a anaconda choke. I took out the two links and replaced them with a link to videos of the actual technique described. --Mma10 06:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

it should also be noted...

In the law enforcement arena this is known as the "shoulder pin restraint". Many law enforcemnt agencies shy away from anything dealing with the word "choke". (PPCT)

Correct Application

Is it worth noting the technique is more effective if only the "blade" of the radius is applied to the neck, and the person applying the choke arches their back slightly and expands their chest? Dunno if we're shooting for general description or tutorial...--Legomancer (talk) 19:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The bastardization of what are original martial arts techniques

What's with all of these " general " terms for what are originally and thoughtfully developed forms of martial arts techniques instead of sourcing their actual origin ? e.g. Why does this technique - the arm triangle - belong in a " generalized " " submission wrestling " category instead of an original jiu jitsu or another form of martial arts ? What evidence do we have of the arm triangle ever being invented in the realm of greco-roman or any other original forms of wrestling such that it is now included in a " wrestling " category ? I've noticed that this mannerism of renaming original martial arts techniques - whether they are of hispanic , asiatic , or european origin ... their bastardization .... is completely rampant in mma .

All this is unwarranted. Asian (Eastern) Martial Arts really differ from European (Western) ones - the former got really institutionalized with forms, katas etc., while if you look at European medieval martial textbooks, you will notice that they usually are simply a set of techniques. This is English wikipedia, no wonder it doesn't pay so much attention to tradition and sourcing the techniques. DvK (talk) 14:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
