TAP URGENCY: URGENT—von flue can tighten explosively once positioned

02

Release immediately; the mechanical lock provides very limited escape window

03

This choke often catches partners by surprise due to unusual positioning

04

Apply pressure gradually rather than explosively to give partner recognition time

05

Partner communication is essential; ensure they understand the submission first
