Well you have to understand how constrictor snakes do it. They aren't just crushing things to death like the movies would have you believe. What they do is every time their victim exhales they squeeze a little tighter preventing them from inhaling again. Eventually they just can't get enough air in with each breath and pass out
It doesn't take much pressure at all to do that

Man is weak, that's why we have technique in the first place. If you get a wrist lock, the person you're putting on the ground wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Realistically, a blood choke is the closest you'll get though. Bear hugs are for holding people unless you're a bodybuilder, but even then, you aren't hurting anyone w/ one, just being stuffy.

You have to be extremely powerful.

Yes. Any decent wrestler or judoka can do this against a normal person who doesn't train. I've had good results with a headlock pin/kesa-gatame (tightening with each exhale like a python), so I'd imagine that an exceptionally strong person could do the same versus a weaker person with training. Wrestlers typically spend more time training for tighter pins because the ruleset requires it; if constrictor-like submissions are your primary goal, wrestling is probably your sport.

You can do the same thing with leg scissors but often those are more about threatening broken ribs than they are about preventing your opponent from drawing breath, so be mindful of the risk and be considerate of how you're using which variant and if it's allowed in the ruleset you're grappling under.
