1st time getting choked out

Has anyone ever experienced the delayed choke out?
Happened to me once in judo. We were rolling, I was on the wrong side of a kata ha jime.
Mate was called, I sat up for about 15 seconds while my Sensei was showing a move, just fell out.
Really weird feeling.
IMHO chokes are the best. They truly leave no doubt about who won.
I have seen people tap from an arm bar & try & excuse it with some BS, but when you're out cold-it leaves no questions unanswered.

anyone who makes excuses for tapping is an idiot, you tapped because it hurt, end of story.

Hmm, I've never been choked out... have been knocked out (lasted all of about 6-10 seconds according to friends who were there). "Waking up" was a very weird feeling.
I'd assume that getting choked out is a similar feeling.

How did you get ko'd? Just curious.

Boxing. Jumped up a weight class and fought a guy signifficantly better than anyone I had faced up to that point... not a good combo. Plus, I was coming off a torn hamstring.
I remember seeing it coming and thinking, "oh, I've been hit by punches like that before, no big deal". I went to lean away from the punch, and my hamstring decided it wouldn't move. Ate the full power of the punch right to my temple.
Completely knocked out. By the time I knew what was going on, a bunch of people were standing over me asking if I was okay. It was like the entire world got shut off for a few long seconds.

Damn. Ive been wobbled in sparring before but never like that. Was it a real boxing match? Amateur or pro? Did you have head gear on? It definitely has to be a strange feeling. I remember getting rocked during sparring. I was going with an amateur HW 4-0, he caught me on the chin and I wobbled a little like my legs wouldnt work lol. It gives you much more perspective when watching MMA, compared to alot of fans that have never even been punched in the face.

I never got knocked out in a real boxing match (had to wear headgear in those, due to being an amateur).
This was just boxing with friends (who also had boxing experience) in a friends living room. The kid was moving houses, so there was no furniture or anything to fall and hit your head on.
We were wearing gloves, but no head gear. The gloves we were wearing were training/speed bag gloves. I want to say they were 8 oz?
I was about 170 pounds... ended up randomly matched up against our high school's starting middle linebacker who was 225. We didn't really pay a lot of attention to weight classes, tried to focus more on strength/skill. We had 150 pound guys fighting 200 pound guys all the time... a lot of times the lighter guy would win. Anyways, I had a few amateur fights under my belt, he had been training, but no official fights under his belt.
I would have probably been fine (might have lost, might have won, it was an even matchup on paper) if I hadn't been rushing back from a severe hamstring tear. I could run fine at that point, but when it came to changing direction quickly, I found out the hard way that wasn't possible. It was literally 10-20 seconds into the bout... the first time I tried to step backwards when he loaded up with a power punch it connected.
We've got this guy in our class who's been coming for about 3-4 months now, and he's always to proud to tap.
I remember a couple of months back when me & a higher grade had to take the fundamentals class, and one of the guys who was getting promoted to Blue belt locked up a pretty sweet Armbar. Me and my mate had to watch, and when we realized he's not tapping and had nowhere else to go we had to step in. The guy threw his toys out the pram lol.
Anyways, I've never been choked out cold. I've come close to it, but I tap just in time.
I was choked out during training in combatives during my basic training, they were just showing us a certain choke hold and how to apply it properly and being a dumbass I just wanted to see how long I could hold out before I had to tap and unfortrunately I did tap but it was too late and there I was laying on the ground staring up at the ceiling hearing faint voices as the Drill Sgt was continuing on

Im new to MMA but in my second Jiu Jitsu session I came close to being choked out during 2 seperate rolls. Not a good feeling, I tapped out both times.

The feeling up to the point of being choked out is unpleasant (of course) but once you actually get put to sleep I'd say it's as peaceful as sleeping. I also agree that being choked out is a humbling experience. There is no shame in tapping, I just thought I had enough space and time to escape the triangle.

This is what led to me going to sleep as well. If I knew I was f---ed I would have tapped. But I knew the clock was about to run out and I thought I had enough space to get a little air. I was wrong lol

As kids we used to ko each other all the time.
Crouch down, hands beside you, take 30 deep breaths on the 30th exhale, jump in the air with arms out, someone bear hugs you and you are out in
seconds
.
I like the hazy twilight of waking... can hear loads of stuff going on but dont really care, body buzzing and can taste pennies. You're out for about 10-15 seconds yet seems like an eternity.

we used do that as well
hold your breath and somebody pushes your stomach really hard a load of times
we used do it in school also till somebody pissed their pants lol
I've never been completely out. But as someone else mentioned, I've gotten close... to the point where your vision starts to narrow and go black.
I did think it was a great idea to fight through a kimura when I should have tapped. I held on for maybe half a second too long, and even that was too much. My shoulder was effed for a few weeks.
I used to work in a pizza shop when I was in school. One night this drunk dude and his girlfriend come in and are all kinds of beligerant and the a-hole started a fight with someone at the counter. The guy was half his size and he easily put him on the floor. The small guy's girlfriend starts yelling and screaming and there was an ex-marine in the parking lot outside who heard and saw the commotion. He comes in the shop, gives me the shhhh sign as he comes up behind this drunk a-hole and puts him in a guillotine. 10 seconds later this guy is out cold and the marine drags him outside and leave him on the sidewalk. His girlfriend started freaking out 'Oh my god you just killed him!!' The marine was shut the f--- up... don't touch him he'll wake up in a few seconds. The guy woke up all disoriented and him and his girl just stumbled off.
Possibly one of the funniest and coolest things I saw. When is there ever the perfect guy to handle a situation like that just right outside in the parking lot??
