Hello I've been training BJJ about nine months and one of the chokes that for whatever reason I have become somewhat adept at is the Ezekiel from someones guard and the mount and roll technique. I have a question concerning the nature of this choke, It was taught to the class a couple weeks into my training however i rarely see anyone use it even though it seems like it's wide open in many occasions.
I have used it many times and have had more success with this submission than any others although I do try to keep an open game but on more than one occasion guys have told me that it is a douchbag choke or "cheap".
Since it has been applied to be in the past i realize it does have more of a gagging sensation than other chokes but still don't understand why this move seems to be frowned upon more so than a collar choke / whatever, so anyways just looking for some input.
