When an accidental KO is funny

OK, I stumbled across this one tonight.

It is a video of a technique instructional. The technique is a shoulder choke (sometimes called a "Von Flue" choke) to counter an opponent's guillotine choke.

As the nice lady is explaining the technique and gradually increasing the pressure, her partner passes out.

Link.

Normally, one taps out before passing out. This lets the practitioner know that they have successfully applied the technique. However, with some chokes, the effects build up, and can occasionally sneak up on a person so that they accidentally go to sleep.

I have been telling students for many years that a correct choke does not hurt at all. Here is yet more proof.
