The Art of Choking People

I remember the first time I showed up at a Judo class…

The first demonstration was how to use the “Gi” (Judo Uniform) to choke a person…

Thoughts rushed back of high school having to wear a tie…

The idea of having something around my neck always gave me the creeps…

Like, I needed to pull my tie just a little bit away from my neck and keep the top button unbuttoned.

Ok, so back to Judo…

The students are performing the chokes while the Sensei (Tony a 5th degree black belt) was talking the class through the demonstration…

To let your partner know you were “sufficiently choked” you have to “tap” your partner two or more times to let them know, “I give”

You just had to hope that your partner was paying attention and/or liked you enough to stop.

I got to go first and remember how little effort it took to choke someone with proper technique.

The Judo motto is, “Maximum efficiency with minimum effort. Mutual welfare and benefit for all.” 

That was a philosophy I really took to heart applying that not only my training in the “dojo” (workout area) but also in every other area of my life…

The more I studied the principles of Judo and ingrained those principles into my life the more I shook my head at the world I saw…

It seemed that people were doing just the opposite in their lives…

“Minimum efficiency with maximum effort.”

Maybe that’s why your knees are still in pain?

Bill Parravano (The Knee Pain Guru)

Bill Parravano is “The Knee Pain Guru” and has been called, “the best in the world at eliminating knee pain without drugs, shots or surgery.”

He brings over 26 years of martial art and bodywork experience understanding movement and tensions patterns that lead to physical pain.

Bill believes the nervous system is the key to the body’s healing, and bridges the gap between what we currently know and the infinite possibilities of what we don’t know the body is capable of. Coupled with comfort, this combination creates the shortest distance between a life riddled with pain to a physical life fully mobile and self expressed.

“You can’t think your way out of pain. Pain is not rational and doesn’t care what you think. You must feel your way out of pain through comfort. Through the weeks, months and years of injury and compensation patterns built up in your body limiting your movement and making you feel older than you are.”

His unique ability of identifying the blocks that keep people stuck in pain and skillfully removing them allows for lasting change, and a new reality for his clients…
