This variation of Juji Jime (Cross Choke) was used by Olympic Medal Winner Klaus Glahn as well as many other successful German and European judo athletes for many years and picked up the name "The Glahn Special" sometime in the 1970s. This strangle is a good reason why judo athletes (or any grapplers or fighters) should not lay flat on the front and do "chicken judo" to avoid doing groundfighting. Demonstrated by Kelvin Knisely and JT Thayne with commentary by Steve Scott. This is the first of three videos on the Glahn Special. Look at the Glahn Special from the Bottom Guard Position on our Youtube channel.
