Taekwondo Grappling Techniques. Tony Kemerly, Ph.D.

uses the x-block to execute a cross choke on White. Black slides one hand, palm up, into the opposite side lapel of White, and performs the same action on the opposite side. Once both of Black’s hands are secured inside of White’s lapels and the bones of the forearms are pressed against the sides of White’s neck, downward pressure is applied with the knee to White’s abdominal area while Black’s bends the ulnar sides of his wrists toward his forearms.
