Who here has been taught strangulation techniques, and how important are they in your art?
I was taught very basic strangulation techniques on saturday morning for the first time and also the anatomy of the neck and wrists and the best ways to apply such techniques. The strangulation techniques are very effective but icant see myself using them often. :idunno:
I learnt that along each side of your oesophagus run groupings of arteries and veins which carry blood to and from your brain, This is also the same on the back of your neck on each side, hence why you can feel your pulse when applying pressure under your jaw to the side. I was told that pressuring these arteries is alot more effective than blocking the windpipe. you can effectively kill someone alot faster blocking off the blood flow to the brain rather than blocking off the flow of oxygen.
At the base of your hand on the inside of your wrist is a small knuckle shape of bone, it is this part that is used to press into the arteries when applying the stranglehold. I was impressed by the effectiveness of these techniques and how many different wariations there are to applying a good hold with minimal effort. Have any of you experianced similiar teachings and how much focus is there on these techniques in your syllabus?
thanks
