Hadaka-jime , or Rear Naked Choke, is a killer submission. This technique is executed without the use of the opponent's clothing. This categorizes it as a "no gi" choke. The submission can be done when the opponent is standing, sitting, or lying down. Hadaka-jime is a blood choke. In Version 1, the forearm presses against the carotid artery, cutting off blood to the head. In Version 2, the inside of the forearm and bicep push against the carotid. In these examples, the person executes the choke when the opponent is sitting.

The second phase was about integrating into this new community and the third was about building a positive reputation in the gym.

In jiu jitsu, we wear coloured belts that indicate our years of experience and technical skill.
