If you can punch at your opponent's face, you should be able to grab on his throat.
Honestly if you are any good there are a few ways to get the message across.
I don't like "no contact" control sparring.
You can
- pull your punch just 1/2 inch away from your opponent's face.
- punch as hard as you can next to your opponent's face.
Both approaches cannot stop your opponent's forward momentum.
