251 Ways to Choke a Man by Mark Hatmaker

 




AKA: Strangulations, Jugulations, Cervical Cranks, Torques, Face-Locks, Hyoid Crushers, “Meat” Compressions, Garroting & More

Beginning on The Black Box Subscription Service Volume 34, we will codify and offer 251+ ways to choke, strangle, jugulate, crank, and garrote your fellow man.

The tactics have been culled from many resources, amongst them…

·        Old School Scufflin’

·        Indigenous Wrestling of the Americas

·        Congo Square “Enders”

·        Barroom Bye-Byes

·        Alley-Way Garrote Work

·        And more…

 

This is NOT just for my grapplers.

This volume, in particular, is ALL on the feet work.

 

Fractional Breakdown

A Rough Third of this material can be used by my sport cadre.

The Next Third by my Military/LE/Street cadre. [The Sport Cadre can smooth the edges a bit and add an approximate half of this section.]

The last third, well, it is all rough-stuff, that is, “no backsies.”

These are enders.

These are Quick Kills.

In this final third an approximate half are empty-handers, with another half using cord, garrote, wire, improvised fringe, designated or improvised flexible weapon—hell, a phone-charger cord will do in a pinch.

These are culled from New Orleans and Barbary Coast Alley Traditions, 18th-century “Shanghaiers,” and an Indigenous Tribe or three.

Will we be systematic and codified and meticulous in detail?

Oh, hell, yeah.

Crew, I’d be a liar if I didn’t say preparing this Black Box Unit didn’t re-ignite my love for what grappling was and can be again—in the right hands that is.

The 1st volume is now available to The Black Box Brotherhood.

Volume 1 Overview

This lays the foundation for how to approach ALL future volumes.

Again, if you’re not a grappler, no worries—the material will be presented as Combat Specific not grappling specific. [Of course, my straight grapplers will take to it like a duck to water, but never fear, non-grapplers the presentation will have you there lickety-split.]

·        We will cover Three Solo Training Methods: One for precision, one for speed/dynamism, one for Pitbull strength and stamina.

·        The Sleeper Choke Inside Out, that is, we rank The 5 Variations from safe to “survival only.”

·        The “Non-Choosey” Target Concept

We then move into the vast territory of Square Locks that are a huuuge part of Old School Scuffle Choking/Ending.

·        We’ll hit 6 Sleeping Squares

·        Detail the 6 Aspects of Open Squares

·        Hit 7 Open Square Grip Options

·        We will cover 2 Options for MMA Gloves or Cold Climate Gloved Options

·        Discuss the “V” Choke as a “come along” or ender.

·        And wind this volume up with 3 Grips to Drop from your Choking Arsenal.
