Instead of bringing the arm around the neck and the other behind the head all we do is insert the front hand only as far as the trachea so that the radial is pressing on the front and the thumb then sits against the side of the neck. The other hend then slides underneath the first hand palms together thumbs on opposite sides. As mentioned above extreme close contact must be maintained at all times and your leading shoulder should sit behind the head and your head should be on the same side as your rear hand, this encloses the head and doesnt allow any movement. To apply the choke all you need do is to turn the hands clockwize so that the radial pushes into the trachea, dont attempt to squeeze using the arms just maintain a tight control over the head.
This choke is instantaneous and needs to be done progressively in training as blackout occurs VERY FAST and we have had instances of people losing their voices for days. Noobs be careful!
Hopefully people understand my description and I would be happy for everyone to give me some feedback on this method.
It seems to me to be such an easy method and so effective I wonder why it is not used instead of the sleeper hold method that is just so much clumsyer and harder to get to.
Have a go and tell me what you think.
Losing their voice for days? You wonder why it is not used as much as the sleeper? As I said in my post, in this case, you're going against the front of the neck, therefore putting your partner at some serious risk. Yes, there are many different methods of choking, but by doing this method you're putting people at some serious risk, with the potential for permanent injury. If proper instruction on the sleeper is understood, its not as clumsy as one would think.
