A more effective approach is to take your belt, come up to the perp from behind, quickly put it over his head/around the neck and quickly turn and pull him up on your back. By turning you twist the belt around his neck and cut off the blood flow to the brain. Count to 4 and he will be passed out, count to 5 and he will be dead. I learned this in Marine Corps recruit training 35 years ago and they actually demonstrated this using me as the chokee. It does work.
Thank God the DI knew how to count accurately and timely.

Man that brings back some good times.
Not in the marines though.
Did they count to five?
I took a judo class as my gym class elective in college, and the instructor was an older ex-Marine. He showed us how to choke someone with the collar of the gi (cross your wrists, grab the lapels, then uncross your wrists, hard). He demonstrated on me, with the admonition to tap the mat with my hand if I was going to pass out.
Well, I thought I could be tough and take it and next thing I knew was waking up on the mat with him yelling at me telling me I was too stubborn....
