Deivid's caption asks the audience, "What do you call this choke at your academy?" — and the clip itself carries the answer on screen: "BRABO CHOKE." From a seated guard in no-gi, he threads an arm around his partner's neck, traps the head and arm together, and finishes on his side.

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:01

Thread the arm from seated guard

You are seated, facing your partner, who kneels in front of you. Feed one arm deep around the back of his neck.

STEP 2 · 0:01–0:03

Trap the head and arm together

As he bends forward into you, wrap your arm over his head and shoulder so his head is trapped against your side, and lock your hands together to close the loop around his neck and arm.

STEP 3 · 0:03–0:04

Fall to your side and squeeze

Tip over onto your side, pulling him down with you while the lock stays closed. You finish on your side at his head, with the choke held tight.

Key details

The on-screen text in every frame of the clip reads "BRABO CHOKE."
The choke traps the head and one arm together inside the loop of the arms — there is no gi involved; both athletes wear rashguards and shorts.
The sequence starts seated and finishes on the side, without standing or passing.
