This exclusive video captured in our photo studio finds aikido moves expert Guillermo Gomez explaining several basic aikido techniques and how to apply one of them — nikyo, the second immobilization technique of aikido — in the event of a choke attack.

"[Nikyo] enables me to control the wrist," Guillermo Gomez says, "after which I bend the elbow and use my hips and the rotation of my body to put more pressure on it."

Initiating the choke, the attacker starts with the fingers of his right hand wrapped around Guillermo Gomez's neck. Gomez grabs the attacker's hand and rotates his entire body to create pressure on the wrist.

"This [sequence of aikido moves] works because I control the thumb," Gomez says. "I use my right hand, along with the rotation of my body, to put pressure on his wrist until he releases the choke."

His grip on the knife edge of the choking hand augments the leverage he applies to the offending appendage.

Next, Guillermo Gomez circles his left arm under the locked limb, securing it in the crook of his elbow. He uses his forearm to drag the elbow outward, bending the arm until it's shaped like a "Z".

He keeps the pressure on, courtesy of the wrist lock, while he uses his left hand to force the angled arm — and the attacker — to the ground.
