Strangles
Overview
Strangles (or chokes) form the basis of shime-waza - strangling techniques. This sounds quite a harsh and
deadly topic. It is certainly not one to take lightly. Strangles are intended to at least render an opponent
unconscious - and if applied for longer to kill.
As such strangles should only be taught to experienced jitsuka and the instructor should also instruct the jitsuka in
methods of kappo (recussitation).
Strangles basically work in one of the following ways:
- The flow of oxygen to the brain is restricted by applying pressure across the windpipe (trachea).
- The flow of oxygen to the brain is restricted by constricting the chest and reducing the movement of
the diaphragm which in turn stops the lungs taking in air.
- The flow of blood to the brain is restricted by applying pressure to the carotid arteries.
