I really know nothing about jujitsu, but I was under the impression that if your opponent puts you in a chokehold, it is very unpleasant for the brief time before you pass out. Your body knows that it is in a bad situation and sends alarms to your brain, but you can’t do anything to save yourself except tap out. This thing seems like that, but with no tapping out.
The sleeper hold is not a choke hold. That is why agencies that allow their officers to use it have training on how to apply it correctly. Unfortunately, the proper position allows the forearm to be close to the mouth of the subject which can result in a bite. The pressure is applied to the sides of the neck not the throat. Also, the pressure has to be released when the subject loses consciousness, or bad things can happen.
It’s absolute terror and your vision goes.
Do not recommend.
**I really know nothing about jujitsu**
I was a high school wrestler. But it was about 25 years later that my two sons started learning Gracie Brazilian Jujitsu, thanks to a CD-ROM sold by the same.
I messed up once when practicing with eldest son, who was around 15 and getting close to my size. He got me in a sleeper hold. I was getting lightheaded as he responded to his mother yelling: “Let him GO! You’re gonna kill your DAD!!
He never got me in that situation again.
