Chokes and More: My Addiction Is Cool, My Addiction is BJJ - Miko Hytonen | #5
Channel: The Everyday Perspective Podcast
Date: 24/07/2023

⁠Expect to get the everyday perspective on Miko, the man behind @Chokes_and_more, his checkered past, how BJJ helped him turn his life around, life in sunny Spain, his training blueprint, how he developed his unique lapel attacks, the meaning of his tattoos and much more... 

@ChokesAndMore is one of the fastest growing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu social media channels on Instagram and Facebook. His quirky, unorthodox instructional short videos have accumilated millions of views, with his 'Power Kimura' video reaching over 7 millions views alone. His crazy techniques are now available in his own BJJ Fanatics instructionals, No Gi Chokes From Everywhere and Lapel Chokes From Everywhere.

Behind @Chokes_and_More is Miko Hytonen, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt under Santeri Lilius at Lilius&Barnatt Martial Arts in Malaga, Spain. Originally from Finland, Miko did a lot of "stupid things" before leaving his home country for Spain, where he found Jiu Jitsu and built a new life full of Jiu-Jitsu, Sun, and Palm Trees.
