This is happening at daycare. Nothing has seemed to work so far, We set up a sticker chart and discuss nice things to do with our hands but it has not stopped.

Sorry Freddie, not at all appropriate, but I did chuckle a little bit.

Find out where he learned the activity from and cut out the source (TV is a good bet)
If you catch him in the act, don't spank him.. (what sense does it make to punish someone for being violent by... being violent).. rather redirect him to a positive activity. If it continues, short time outs (2 minutes per year of age.. anything more than that is ineffective) can help.. but don't use them all the time or they lose their effectiveness... and make sure he can see his friends having fun while he is in time out... and talk to him about how he can only have fun with his friends if he doesn't choke... if he does choke then he has to sit down. (of course he'll probably fuss and fight with you on this one.. but you are the adult.. be consistent). Also, is it a frustration based choking? if so you may try teaching him better ways to deal with that (like maybe set him up a tether ball or something to be 'frustrated' with)
really... just trail and error till you find something that works... and be creative and stay involved!

Is this a serious question?
well your best bet is to punish him for this behavior. Is he angry when he is doing this? Maybe some one needs to break up disputes a little sooner.
Is this at your house or at daycare?
Is the child watching television that shows violence if so you need to end that like right now.
Normally 3 year old children do not choke each other bite each other or hit each other even kick each other is normal but to choke is some thing unusual. check out what he or she is watching on the TV. His or her videos, You need to find out if he or she has been around people who are physical in front of the child. do they watch wrestling? there can be a million reasons why a child might would do such a thing but the fix is to punish the behavior and make sure that he or she is not exposed to this type of behavior.
We as parents are not always careful about what we watch. We know better but kids don't Monkey see Monkey do at this age.
Check into it and see what changes need to be made.

Explain to him in a way that a 3yo can understand how dangerous it is to choke someone.

have a conversation with your three year old telling him thats wrong and you can seriously hurt some one by doing that...
like my dad...when i was little i use to bang my head on the floor whenever i didn't get my way and one day he got tired of and lifted up my head and banged it against the floor..never did it since..I love my daddy...

Don't let him watch the Simpsons, or don't let him watch you and your man fight.
