I really appreciate your replies. Here is another example clip. The reason for this posting is about 35 seconds into the match, a strangle is applied to the BJJ fighter. I noticed that the Kung Fu guy was getting his ribs hammered in order to break the hold. This brings up two questions:

Second, if you are the one doing the strangling, is rolling to the side of the punching arm in order to pin it the best way to maintain the hold?
I know that chokes and strangles are covered later (perhaps module 12) but I was just curious about the solutions.
