MC2.0 Mae-Hadake-Jime (Naked Choke from Front)

Again, this technique dose not utilize any part of your or the opponent’s uniform. It is stronger than the guillotine choke, but it is not as popular and is more difficult to land. You and the opponent will most likely end up on the tatami (mat/floor) face down. Once on the floor your adversary may try to roll out of the choke. This is a hard technique to land because a skilled grappler can shoot in for the double leg with exceptional speed. To make this part of your arsenal it will require a lot of practice with a competent partner.

Warning: This technique should only be practiced with a qualified AOKK instructor present.

• Kick your leg backwards and drop to the tatami.
