I've only ever seen a guy get choked out unconscious once in real life practice, basically one guy had the other's back and sunk in a rear naked choke. The guy getting choked kept trying to fight it off and eventually he blacked out.
Once he came to he was all kind of freaked out (not like waking up from a nap, more like "shit what the hell happened?" freaked out) and some people had to kind of grab him real fast (he was still on the ground), calm him down for a second and tell him where he was and what just happened.
But there isn't any kind of long term side effects or anything. Honestly the only side effect that comes from being exposed to chokes is learning how to defend them better.
Really, you've only seen it once? It's happened to me like 3 or 4 times in the just over two years I've been training, and I've seen it happen maybe 20-25 times since I started.
you may poop your pants aswell
I think one of the guys in my class said he didnt tap and when he went home he saw his eyes were popped out of his head, not that much but it was noticeable
uh... ok
u still haven't learnt how to tap yet?
I heard short term memory loss could be a side effect, but I've been choked out and I havent notice anything yet.
Working your choke tolerance?Ever heard of working your choke tolerance and practicing last minute escapes?
There is one side effect that I can think of. If you get continuously choked out a fair amount of times, in some people, something in your head realizes that it can just put you out if you're getting choked. If you've been choked out a lot previously, some people just need a little pressure on their neck and they'll pass out immediately. In my experience most of the old brazilian practitioners that have been around for a long time can tell you at least 1 story of this happening to somebody.
