The following is a very nice pair of lectures on jigoku jime (lit. "hellchoke") which I like to translate loosely as "choking the hell out of the poor guy." The variations on the first video are not really what I'd call jigokujime but the rolling over the turtle variation on the second vid is the classic jigoku. I like all the other variants though. Watch out, Rob. You'd better study up on this because after failing to get you with the rolling jigoku in randori this past week you'd better bet we'll be working these things!

Very interesting. This actually dovetails very well into the clock choke technique we've been working on. The initial grip is very much the same.
