Know this: There are guys out there who dont mind you doing this (me), but when you do shit like that, expect the feel of the roll to drastically change. When people do that to me, they are getting it put back on them hard as fuck.
Well, seems like you didnt need to start this thread if you knew the answer.
I dont mind people using these things with me, they are angry beginner level tricks, just saying that your technique might need more work than you think if thats how you set up a choke.
I dont recall seeing a high level grappler using this consistantly.
In the end, do what makes you happy.
I will activate my destroy mode if someone does that to me during training.
If a top competitor and a Ralph Gracie BB says this, you know it's a dirty move.
Yeah, but if the guy was able to take your back and then choke you, he can probably hang just fine

& I do what is effective
Sure. But there are many times in practice where either I let people take my back or they start there in positional rolls. Most other browns and blacks are not face cranking me in practice. If they do, I give it back and do not complain. Most purples and below are not going to be physically tougher or more aggressive than I am. When they face crank me, any shred of politeness is gone; Im going to give it back to them way worse than they are physically possible of doing to me.
