"Apollo choke" is the 10th Planet term for an arm triangle from bottom half guard:1 2
Apollo Choke
The Apollo choke is an arm triangle done when holding a lockdown half guard.
There are many instructional videos on this position e.g:
- Lockdown 101 - Apollo Series - Jaws of Life to Apollo Control
- Arm Triangle Choke from Bottom Half Guard | MMA Submissions
As for why it is called this:
The main reason that Bravo began using different Jiu Jitsu terminology was for coaching purposes. Only he and his student know the instructions he’s given during a fight or match.
