Bad chokes, bad!

Have a broken finger is doubly bad for chokes.  I have no grip, so I generally fail at all gi chokes.... that I know and can execute.  I know of a few chokes you can use someone's gi with one hand and choke them with it, however, those few aside, one handed grappling equals no gi chokes for me.

No gi chokes?!

It is also bad for me when I am being choked.  Generally, when I am being gi choked, I get a hold of my own collar, and try a multitude of ways to prevent the stoppage of my blood flow... But since I have no grip it would do me no good anyway, and would require me to stick my hand in to a place that is about to become extremely cramped and tight.  ...Not a good place for brokenness.  

I will say though, I am having to be creative and find other ways to try and stop chokes.  Some successful, some less than stellar.  Learning to grapple is all about the trial and error, and having no right hand is forcing me into a lot of the trial and especially error part....  it is just starting to annoy me that I am being choked all the live long day!
