DJB pathway · Strangle lesson
Sankaku-jime
Sankaku-jime is a triangle strangle. Tori encloses Uke's neck and one arm between the thighs, locks one ankle behind the opposite knee, adjusts the angle, and closes the knees while controlling Uke's posture.
Movement sequence
- Bring Uke's head and one arm inside your leg frame while the other arm remains outside.
- Place one thigh across the side of the neck and lock the opposite leg behind the knee, not over the ankle.
- Turn to the correct angle, close the knees gradually, and release immediately at the tap.
- Apply only under qualified supervision, monitor Uke continuously, and release immediately when Uke taps.
