If you are getting choked out you need to go to one of the Brazilian Ju Jitsu guys, like Carlson/Gracie and learn how to defend the chokes. I sparred with this 250 pound guy last weekend who constantly went for every choke he could on me and I had no problem blocking it, although it was a little scary at times with somebody that strong trying to choke you out. That style of Ju Jitsu has the best of the tricks. The only thing that saves my ass with those guys is years of wrestling combined with the C/G style, at least the way they taught me. What you are saying about BR diving is true, and that is why you need a buddy. It is also nice to have a unit that has fewer failure modes. -----Original Message----- From: Cam Banks [mailto:cam@ca*.co*] Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 3:04 PM To: Trey; wkpp@ya*.co* Cc: Techdiver@Aquanaut.Com Subject: Re: [wkpp] George is right again It'd be interesting to ask all the people who want to own a rebreather if they've ever had the experience of passing out from hypoxia. It's quick, and gives no warning. If it happens to you underwater, you won't be coming back, probably whether you have a buddy or not. I have been choked out once and almost choked out many times playing judo/jujitsu over the years (because I suck), and my housemate has passed out from hypoxia in a navy ship-board firefighting suit. Interestingly, neither of us wants to do any rebreather diving. Maybe a quick choke should be a prerequisite to rb training. It doesn't hurt; you just go to sleep. The difference is, you come back...
