Sliding collar choke

Also called Okuri eri jime

A Gi choke from the back that uses their own lapels. A deep collar grip crosses the neck, and a lapel grip on the other side pulls the slack out until it closes.

Key steps

  1. Control their back with hooks or a seat belt grip.
  2. Feed your top hand under their chin and into the far collar, thumb inside, sinking the grip as deep as you can.
  3. With your other hand, take hold of the other lapel down near their chest.
  4. Pull the collar grip back toward you and the lapel grip toward their hip together, so the cloth tightens from both ends.

Key details

  • Pull the slack out of the lapel before you start the choke.
  • Keep your head beside theirs so they can't turn in to you.
  • Pass your forearm under the chin, not over the jaw.
