- One hand goes around uke’s throat from behind and tie-off to his/her lapel.
- The other hand goes under uke’s armpit and ties-off the other lapel.
- Pull backwards on the lapels creating a tourniquet to shut off blood flow to the brain.
- Release the choke if uke taps, or the attacker passes out.
