About This Technique

Hadaka Jime (裸絞), or the naked strangle (rear naked choke), is a classic strangulation technique (shime-waza) in Judo. Applied from behind the opponent, it uses the forearm wrapped around the neck without gripping the opponent's gi lapels—hence the term "naked"—to cut off blood flow through the carotid arteries.
