Okuri-eri-jime
Okuri-eri-jime is a sliding collar strangle applied from behind. One hand feeds deep across Uke's neck into the far collar while the other controls the opposite lapel below the armpit; the hands then move in opposing directions to tighten the collar around the neck.
Movement sequence
- Control Uke from behind and feed the choking hand deep across the neck into the far collar.
- Use the second hand below Uke's armpit to grip and remove slack from the opposite lapel.
- Draw the upper hand back and the lower hand down while keeping your chest connected, then release at the tap.
- Apply only under qualified supervision, monitor Uke continuously, and release immediately when Uke taps.
