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

• Place your right thumb inside Uke’s collar behind the neck and grasp the material.

Note: Go deep around neck with both hands.

• Grasp the other side of Uke’s lapel with your left hand and pull it under the right arm creating a tourniquet.
• Strangle Uke until he/she goes to sleep.
