Here I am attempting to show the bony protrusions of the wrist used to put pressure on the common carotid artery in the neck. This is the preferred method of applying a strangulation technique in Judo, because it does not cause damage to the larynx, and cutting off blood supply to the brain results in the opponent passing out more quickly than if the air supply is obstructed.
These are the three primary hand positions for two-handed chokes applied from the front. In Gyaku Jime (reverse choke) both palms are facing upwards. In Kata Jime (broken choke) one hand is up and the other is down. Nami Jime (normal choke) is performed with both palms down.
This final illustration is meant to emphasize proper wrist positioning. Proper application of the choke requires the bones of the wrist highlighted in the first illustration to be in direct contact with the carotids in the neck.I look forward to completing this project in the near future, but school work will take priority.
This is why it's good to have Pizawl walk you home at night! 8D
