And this is what they mean when they say BJJ is a game of inches. Pay close attention to the angle of your forearm (the one that's on his trachea) - you'll observe a much greater effect if it's perpendicular - all of his weight is putting pressure on his own throat. But if the angle is smaller, your forearm is still on his throat, but due to the position of your elbow, the pressure is more on his upper chest.
