//03—Safety notes
01

TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—mounted position adds body weight pressure to choke

02

Release immediately when partner taps; additional leverage makes this dangerous

03

Partner cannot escape mount pressure while being choked; tap early

04

Apply choke pressure gradually while maintaining mount control

05

Ensure partner has full hip mobility and no pre-existing knee or lower back issues
