Help I fail choke myself until i pass out

[Ailashan]

Im planning on hanging myself so i've tried to blood choke myself unconscious with my hands to train but for some reason im failing. I know from my MMA practitionning that it should take between 6 and 10 seconds to pass out from a blood choke but i've been conscious way past that time, even though i do feel a pressure in my head and my ears ringing. I guess im doing something wrong, anyone here to help me?

You're only compressing your jugulars if you feel that kind of pressure. I finally found the spot after many tries by just closing my hand around de middle (not too high, not too low) of my neck using as much pressure as possible, including the front of the neck. If I apply pressure only on the sides, I just feel my head filling with blood. This way I manage to almost pass out most of the time. If I don't, it's because I'm doing it a bit too low or too high.

I've seen people blood-choked in martial arts classes, but never from hands. It was always using the hold below:

I don't think that we could do this to ourselves just with hands. In the same sense that out jaw could easily bite through our tongue but cannot, I think our brains are just wired to prevent us from doing this. To CTB this way, we need to use something else to block the blood-flow.

Yeah, the feeling i have when choking myself with my hands is way different than when my training partners rear neck choke me, guess its just a question of strenght and leverage, but some people on this website say that they managed to choke themselves so i think its possible
