What is Buggy Choke in BJJ?
Quick Definition
An unorthodox choke from bottom side control using your legs around the neck.
Full Explanation
The buggy choke is a surprising submission from bottom side control where you thread your leg over the opponent's neck and use your other leg to lock a triangle. It was popularized on social media and at lower belt levels before being used at higher levels. The choke works because most opponents do not expect an attack from side control bottom. It requires flexibility and the ability to elevate your legs while being pinned.
