Shime - choke

 

There are only two major chokes you need for street defence

Sleeper - hadaka jime - Lion killer

and

guillotine

it is important to know the guilloine defence

the best sleeper defence is Sweetcorn

if the geezer is wearing a gi we employ 2 versions of okuri eri jime, the sliding collar choke, and kata ha jime, the shoulder version, creating a total of 5 in the set:

sleeper
guillotine
okuri eri
henka
kata ha jime



In the standing choke set, known as the VT set we have 3 true chokes

sleeper
guilltine
triangle

the 4th technique we use in this set is the armlock using chin turn

presuming the opponent will be wearing some kind of clothing we make okuri eri jime the 5th technique in the set



there is a set of 5 collar chokes which are not usually done in VG as they are not the best at this range or phase

eri shime are best done in newaza, and usually from the guard, though with the proper mount control, can be done from the mount
