Rear Carotid Strangle

A simple, but highly effective strangle hold.

From the rear, reach deep in front of opponent toward his or her stomach, with your bicep against side of opponent’s neck.
Bend your arm so your elbow is pointed straight down and the crook of your elbow is directly below opponent’s trachea. The space created by the crook of your elbow ensures there is no pressure on the trachea.
Reach high on other side of opponent’s neck and grab your own shoulder or a handful of your shirt.
Now your bicep and the inside of your forearm are pressing on the sides of opponent’s neck on the carotid arteries, but there is still no pressure on the windpipe.
Place your free hand behind opponent’s head and push it forward.
Push the elbow of your arm around the neck into opponent’s chest, toward the spine, which usually puts your arm up under opponent’s chin.
Now shrug your shoulders upward as if you are hanging the opponent, while tensing the muscles in the arm around the neck. This motion will quickly shut off blood to the brain and will cause the opponent to pass out very quickly.
Release the hold when the opponent passes out and he or she will recover shortly, disoriented, but not harmed.
