  • Blood: to cut the arrival of blood to the brain of an adversary by compressing to him its arteries Respiratory Carotid S.

  • : to prevent the renewal of oxygen in blood by compressing the Trachea.

These techniques are practiced in many martial arts, sports of combat, coil defense and military systems of combat.

They are techniques considered as dangerous. Indeed if the catch is maintained too a long time, it can involve the loss of consciousness then the death by asphyxiation.

The mechanism of throttling is simple: to compress the arteries carotids of adversary and/or to cut the air flow to him to the lungs by compressing to him the trachea (this last method being more dangerous than its " cousine" blood, because it can produce a rupture of the cartilages of the larynx, which can cause a hemorrhage).

Throttling can be done with naked hand (Hadaka Jime), or by using clothing of the adversary (for example eri-jime), or by using a weapon (stick, girdles.). Throttling can also be done by combining a key (for example Kata ha jime), permetant a better control of the adversary.
