Sensei Hogsette discusses a different application for the middle portion of Fukyugata Ni, using the two chest blocks as a defense against a low wrist grab. He also demonstrates the use of a guillotine choke, but cautions that such chokes in self-defense situations may leave the defender vulnerable to other attackers and possible knife attacks as well as limit one’s ability to escape. From a martial arts perspective, it is fun and interesting to learn about and train choke techniques.
