Blood strangle technique: Ryote hasami jime

Advantage: Secure fixation because of head control Disadvantage: Fixation only by disconnect of the blood supply Unstable position of the defender Lack of overview of the surrounding area

Here the aggressor is brought to the ground by a blood strangle technique (Ryote hasami jime) and is fixed in a lateral position.

Use at opposite grip to the wrist:

The non gripped hand grips the wrist of the attacking hand, in a way that the fingers press from the outside onto the inner wrist of the aggressor. The grip will be loosed by a inner rotation of the wrist. The loosed hand is led inwards in front of the aggressor. The other hand supports the leading away movement by pressure on the elbow of the gripping hand.

The wrist holding hand will be loosed and grips in front of the throat to the aggressors opposite side of the neck; so that the ball of the thumb is located next to the carotid artery of the aggressor. The other forearm presses with the side of the ulna bone exactly opposite on the carotid artery of the other neck side, doing this the hand grips the own forearm. The defender is now located at the side of the aggressor in an 90° angle. By a scissors movement of both arms the stangulation technique takes effect.

The knee of the defender next to the aggressor is used to block the knee of the aggressor, doing this the aggressor is brought by a rotational movement backwards to the ground. The rotation is continued until the aggressor comes to lie on the side.

The fixation technique is only suitable for temporary control of the aggressor, because the position of the defender is over a longer term quite uncomfortable and tiring. On long, strong pressure a fainting of the aggressor is possible!
