I have a Brute also and wear it for BJJ.
I experienced the same choking situation because I wore the head gear tight.
I would feel it choking me even if I wasn't in a hold, the head gear would just choke me.
I loosened the chin strap and wore it loose, getting use to the head gear and the immediate choking sensation when I'd lock up with someone wasn't so bad.
The more that I was use to it, I'd wear it tighter, but it was a matter of getting use to the strap pressure under the chin.
Till this day, I wear the chin strap slightly loose, so that it doesn't choke me.
