(1) If somebody is squeezing your carotids closed, tensing your body by contracting your muscles will only lead to less blood going to the brain, and the heart pumping more blood to contracting muscles.
This is why some people faint during hard workouts. The blood is going to the muscles, and not enough is going to the brain. This is just basic physiology.
(2) Every human being who is old enough to reach his/her neck with his hands, has the instinct to fight the choke. You don't need a black belt in BJJ to reach out and try to remove the thing choking you. It is not even in your control, your body will instinctively try to remove whatever is choking you.
If you are not trying to remove the choke, it is because you can't, and your body is not even responding instinctively.
For example, If somebody tied a strong noose around your neck and tried to hang you, tensing your neck and shoulder muscle will not help. If your hands are free, you will instinctively grab the rope around your neck and try to relieve the pressure. This is an instinct, even with people trying to commit suicide.
Conclusion, you will never get out of a well applied choke using the Michael Chiesa method. It won't work. By flexing your shoulders and neck, you will only be sending more blood to that area, instead of using the little bit of strength you have with your hands to remove the whatever is causing the choke.
There no other way to defend the RNC other than freeing your neck.
