I am not saying that you didn't see what you saw, because you obviously did, I am saying that sometimes we don't see what we think we see.
EX:
Not too long ago I was at a bar-b-que and some guys that are into MMA are talking about **** and chokes come up and one guy says he can choke anyone out and tries and all he is doing is cranking people and squeezing their necks.
One of the guys there, my wifes cousin says I do MA and the guy choking people asks which? I mention some of my qualifications and then he tries to choke me, which he can't because he doesn't know how to, he is just squeezing hard, nothing more, so I do it to him and I casually show how he is doing it wrong, squeezing the neck into the chest instead of bringing the elbows together.
I do this lightly and he says that way doens't work because he is not choked out, I said that if he was OK with it, I would choke him out, he says I can try but his neck is to big.
Short of it, he is out and learns a valuable lesson.
The point is someone says "Holy crap, you choked him out in seconds !!"
I didn't it, how do I know?
I counted to 8 and he was probably gone in less but out cold in 8.
I then woke him up and he didn't even have a mark on his neck.
