Hadaka-jime

2/5

Key idea

Recognize a choke that does not use the collar.

In this example, sits and kneels behind. Tori’s right arm passes around the neck and joins the left hand near Uke’s left shoulder. The connected arms and close position provide without a judogi grip. Mirror the arms on the opposite side. Hadaka means bare or naked, referring here to the absence of collar assistance. Do not force a tucked chin, press across the jaw, or crank the neck. Release immediately on a tap, verbal submission, or ; do not wait for unconsciousness. Choke permission varies by event and age category.
