Hiza jime - knee strangling

UKE is on his back. TORI is to the right of UKE, in a sitting position with his legs are perpendicular to the body axis of the UKE. The right leg of TORI is below UKE's neck and his left leg is placed slightly bent over the larynx of UKE; this presses the knee on the trachea of UKE. The instep of TORI's left foot slides counterclockwise under the Achilles tendon of the right leg, so that when the appropriate applying pressure strong scissor effect on UKE's neck is exercised.

COMMENT:
This technique belongs to the area of air choking. It is advisable for TORI to fix the right arm of UKE because:

• UKE has less chance to counter.
• UKE's position can not slip so easily, so also not the pressure point.
