A [b]choke hold[/b], or stranglehold, is any type of unarmed strangulation technique used to submit an opponent or incapacitate a foe by restricting their airway (choking) or blood flow (strangulation). Choke holds are common in [[martial arts|]] such as [[judo]], Brazilian jiu-jitsu and sambo.

In judo these are known as shime-waza, and were originally codified by Kano Jigoro and the Kodokan judo school.

For Danbooru purposes, choke holds are to be tagged [[strangling]], not [[choking on object]].
