DJB pathway · Strangle lesson
Hadaka-jime
Hadaka-jime is a rear strangle that does not use the judogi. From behind, Tori places the forearm across the front or side of Uke's neck, reinforces it with the other arm or hand, and closes the space while keeping the position controlled.
Movement sequence
- Secure a stable position behind Uke and keep your chest connected to Uke's back.
- Place the choking forearm accurately across the neck and use the second hand or arm to reinforce it.
- Close the elbows and remove space gradually; never crank the jaw or neck, and release immediately at the tap.
- Apply only under qualified supervision, monitor Uke continuously, and release immediately when Uke taps.
