Hello,
I was wondering if some of you could shed some light on some possible escapes from a rear naked choke, standing or sitting. If it doesn't sound too familiar, it's more or less a figure 4 choke from behind (the 'ol sleeper hold you've seen umpteenth times in pro wrestling). Hadaka Jime is the name for any Judoka reading this.
I'm sure if any of you have been involved in a common scuffle or have witnessed a fight, this particular technique can be somewhat commonplace. Worse yet, when applied to the trachea, which is the most likely scenario at the hands of an untrained attacker, this can become a very dangerous situation, if even by accident.
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Walt Jennings
PS: I posted this earlier in the Jujutsu and Judo forums, but since it was dealing with aspects of common self defense, I was interested to hear what you guys have to say, since you may have relevant experience in dealing with it (CQC, military, law enforcement,etc.)
