Half Guard Submission: Loop Choke from the Top

This submission was taught from top of half guard, but I assume that it can be done from side control as well. When on top I make sure I have good shoulder pressure. My hand that would underhook passes the lapel closest to the head to my head control hand. From here I pass. A key detail is isolating B's near side arm. From this position I bring my head to the mat where my knees were as I walk towards B's head. If I I having trouble finishing the choke I can do a forward roll.

I think a detail of the choke is not having it too loose. I felt that if my hand came behind the head the choke would be lost.
