Suppose you actually got in a fight in real life (I know, I know, you would never get into that situation in the first place, blah blah blah, but suppose you did) would you rather beat someone by a choke or a joint lock/break? Why?
Choke. Ends the fight no matter how much he wants to hold out, or how big and strong he is. No bruises and no injuries, therefore less likely to have legal ramifications.
put him to sleep and then wake him up with strikes to the head to ensure that he is ok.
choke, then I can write shit on his face with a sharpee while he is out.
Choke is actually worse for you in terms of legality if you were to get caught. The law is generally ignorant about how a chokehold actually works, and in many states considers it attempted murder. Meanwhile an armbar would just be assault.
