Question: this is one of my favorite techniques because people don't expect it. It works very well on drunks too because its usually a noisy technique (for the drunk) when executed at full speed. This helped me once and gave me time to pay my tab (throw a 20 on the table) and quietly leave. I've seen the same technique executed where the "set up hand" is not positioned on the back of the neck but on in the lower middle back. Is there a general preference for either? Is one used in a given circu
@southernsecurity Back of the neck or middle back, to me that differs from time to time. What comes naturally, depending on uke's size, form of attack, et cetera. Me, I usually don't grab the back of the neck, but the shoulder. That makes it easier to control all of uke's body.
