The Impaler is a move used in jiu-jitsu to escape from an arm-triangle choke.
The finding
What the evidence shows
There is a real jiu-jitsu technique called the Impaler tied to arm-triangle style chokes, it comes out of Eddie Bravo's system. But it's used to finish or add pain to a choke you're applying on someone else, not to escape one. The claim has the direction backwards.
