They are joined by France’s Ugo Legrand, whose Okuri-eri-jime is initiated directly from a Ko-soto-gari attack, and Great Britain’s Winston Gordon, who showcases Okuri-eri-jime and Koshi-jime.
Germany’s Udo Quellmalz is a Shime-waza expert. His vast array of strangles include Okuri-eri-jime, Kata-ha-jime, Koshi-jime and the technique he created – ‘Udo jime’.
GB’s Euan Burton presents fast-transition Okuri-eri-jime. Burton’s most impressive strangles are his Sode-jimes, which are executed from his amazing Crocodile rolls.
The forward-rolling variation of Okuri-eri-jime, widely regarded as ‘The British Strangle’ is taught by GB’s Craig Fallon and Germany’s Ole Bischof.
Shime-waza concludes with the most powerful of all strangles – Sangaku-jime, with USA’s Kayla Harrison, Mark Huizinga of the Netherlands and GB’s Gordon combining to give a detailed, step-by-step masterclass in this neck-crushing finale.
