Standing Trap Choke Against Standing Opponent & Kneeling Opponent

Standing Trap Choke Against Standing Opponent and Kneeling Opponent

Here is a video that looks at what the instructor calls the “Standing Trap Choke” It has always been a strangle to me because I thought it cuts off the blood supply, not the airways. But maybe that is why I was never any good at it.

The focus is on four different applications. There is also "Judogi" (Judo Uniform) and "no Judogi" variations.

This used to be a favourite of one of my Sensei's. But try as he may he was never able to teach it to me to where I could use it competitively. We were never sure why but whenever I tried to use it in Randori or Shiai it all just fell apart.

Still, there is little doubt that this is effective as I would regularly watch as my Sensai, who was a small man, use it against much bigger opponents, whenever they would come close to defeating him.

The instruction is clear and I hope you have better luck at applying it than I ever did.
