Submission: Lapel Bow & Arrow

Executing a lapel bow and arrow choke when the opponent defends by pulling down their lapel:

1. Start with your left hand on the opponent's collar on top, as if going for a bow and arrow or regular lapel choke.
2. If the opponent defends by pulling down on their lapel, do not waste energy trying to force the choke.
3. Use their lapel-pulling action to open their collar and grab it with your other hand from underneath, pulling out the slack and bringing it behind their neck.
4. While doing this, maintain the threat of the choke with your initial hand to distract the opponent.
5. Pass the pulled lapel to the choking hand above the opponent's shoulder, ensuring you do not pass it underneath as it will not be effective.
6. Grab the lapel with the same grip as before, above the shoulder, to set up the choke.
7. Proceed to finish the choke by turning, escaping your leg, and placing it in front of you to stretch out the opponent.
8. If the opponent scrambles, you can cross your feet, squeeze your knees, and pull to finish the choke.

This technique leverages the opponent's lapel defense to set up a more secure choke, using their own gi against them.
