Armdrag to establishing a gift wrap from the guard. This leads naturally to a flower sweep, then finishing with a cobra choke. Throughout the entire technique, you have to keep your elbow on the gift-wrap arm tight to his body, pulling it tighter and tighter. Notice that I use my hand like a knife-edge to slide into the choke. I didn't quite finish the sweep correctly: From mount, I should have pulled him to his side. Then I should have placed my knee in the center of his back, pivoted onto my feet with one behind his shoulders and the other by his hip on the other side. This gives me more control. Finally, I could have finished the choke by either clasping my forearm or using a fist, but he tapped before I got that far. At the end, make sure to straighten both of your arms (whether holding your forearm or pressing your fist into his carotid). Basically this move is nami juji jime using his own arm instead of his collar, which makes it useful for gi or no-gi. In gi, I still use it because it gives your more control over your opponent
