i went to a bjj class and during the course of it we were practicing the rear naked choke (it was a beginners class cause im a beginner), but the guy i was partnered up with couldn't get it to actually work on me. both me, the guy, and the instructor assume hes doing something wrong so the instructor corrects his technique and it still doesnt work on me, it just makes me cough. so the instructor tries it on me. it doesnt work, it just makes me cough. the other instructor tries it on me. it doesnt work, i just cough. at this point i am really curious because the rear naked choke had been kind of built up as an 'oh poo poo game over' type of deal, and in the spirit of scientific inquiry i ended up having five different people try and get it to work on me. every time the pressure of their forearm bone just ended up on my windpipe and on my neck muscle but not on my artery. nobody had ever seen anyone it didn't work on. my guess after some discussion is that because i have a condition called EDS where my tendons are basically lovely, my muscles do a lot more work than the average persons, so my postural neck muscles are overdeveloped in a weird way. combined with being a tall guy with a thick neck i think my arteries are basically kind of recessed in a divot between my neck muscles and windpipe. im pretty sure it would work on me if someone didnt care about injuring me, they would just have to compress my neck enough to get the arteries. as it is ive got a pretty sore throat lmao. idk if anyone else has ever heard of this, it could be a common thing that it just happened nobody i knew had heard of. but it was good fun feeling like a superhero for a little while
