Former UFC champion Miesha Tate recently demonstrated the effectiveness of a rear naked choke in a controlled environment, showing how quickly the technique can render someone unconscious.
In a video shared on social media, Tate, known for her expertise in submission techniques, carefully demonstrated the maneuver on podcast guest Ulrich Dempfle, who had volunteered for the demonstration.
“I’m going to see how long you hold on to this,”
Tate says in the clip, maintaining strict control while monitoring her subject’s consciousness level by having him hold his hand in the air.
The demonstration showed how rapidly the technique can take effect, with Dempfle quickly approaching the edge of consciousness.
“I’m starting to lose consciousness,”
he acknowledges during the demonstration.
Tate, displaying her professional expertise, carefully monitored the situation.
“As soon as your hand drops, I let go because that’s the sign that your brain is losing consciousness,”
she explained.
“That’s why I had Grace’s hand in the air, that way I can tell.”
After the demonstration, Dempfle, who was guest #9 on Tate’s “Built for Growth” podcast, recovered quickly and confirmed his well-being, stating,
“Yeah, no, but I feel awesome. We’re good, we’re good.”
