    About this technique

    A strangle by thrust: your right hand grips their left front lapel and thrusts its edge across the throat into the right side of their neck, while your left hand holds their right lapel. Direct and fast. Strangles are restricted by age in most federations; learn and practise this only under instruction and supervision.

    Step by step

    These steps describe the standard right-handed form without relying on the video.

    1. Facing your partner on the ground, grip their right front lapel with your left hand.
    2. With your right hand, grip their left front lapel, near the chest.
    3. Fix their posture with your left-hand grip so they cannot pull away.
    4. Thrust your right hand across their throat so the edge of the hand drives into the right side of their neck.
    5. Apply on a smooth curve, and release both hands completely the moment they tap.

    Receiving it

    One hand holds your lapel while the other thrusts the edge of its hand across your throat into the side of your neck: this one arrives faster than the crossed strangles. Defend the thrusting hand early and keep your chin tucked. Tap immediately and clearly the moment the strangle is properly on, on their arm or body where they will feel it; holding on risks a blackout. Tell your instructor if you ever feel light-headed afterwards.

    VI judo notes

    Two hands doing different jobs, so check them separately by feel: your left hand in their right front lapel, your right hand in their left. The thrust is the fast part, which is exactly why it goes on a smooth curve rather than as a jab. Release both hands together at the tap.
