If you train in BJJ or Judo, you have almost certainly encountered the &#8220;Ezekiel choke&#8221; (aka &#8220;Ezequiel choke&#8221;, aka Sode Guruma Jime, aka &#8220;sleeve wheel choke&#8221;). It&#8217;s a rather sneaky but very effective choke typically done using the sleeve of the gi, which can be landed [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ishi sashi, or stone padlocks, represent one of the main pieces of traditional supplemental training (hojo undo) equipment used in Okinawan karate. Similar weights have become quite popular in modern gyms in the form of kettlebells. If you don&#8217;t want to purchase pre-made ishi sashi or kettlebells (they can be fairly expensive) or you find [&#8230;]]]></description>
