The new strangler.

[Bootweasel]

Hello folks,

I'm looking for some good advice on chokes and strangles.

One of my instructors is unfamiliar with strangles/blood chokes, and under the impression that they were difficult to apply accurately. He favors the instruction of chokes, but I've a suspicion that this might be because it's easy to know that you're applying a choke properly, without knocking your training partner out.

What do you guys think?

Is there a way to train strangles that ensures you perfect good technique without endangering your partner?

Some good info here: Judo Chokes

Yes there is a way, but be careful as putting someone to sleep can be very bad for their health.

Your instructor can't do blood chokes? What is he instructing you in?

Millions of people every day around the world successfull train using all types of submissions, including blood chokes, and when was the last time you heard of someone being choked to death in a BJJ class???

I guess if you want to learn how to do them correctly you'll need to find a teacher who can do them, and then train under that guy.

Thanks for your advice. All very useful.

This particular instructor is a Krav Maga guy. I'm probably going to end up supplementing it with some judo training anyway.

That's the way to go

No i think that will be risky,

There is very little that is more dangerous than ignorance.



Stay safe folks!

Well im an instructor for a ju jutsu art form an theres only one way to learn how to choke. An thats to choke each other. How else are u guna no if u have the choke properly or not. Obviously u dont throtle your partner but u stil give it to them so they feel it. An in doing so u get a feel for the corect technic. To be honest most people dont no how to do a choke properly anyways cuse they practise it with kid gloves. If u wana learn it learn it properly. Besides ure partner should tap when they feel the choke locked in properly. Its like trying to learn muay thai an not conditioning your shins or elbows. It jus dosent work lol

And thats the way I was talking about.
