Sankkaku-jime: also called the Triangle choke\nA triangle choke is a chokehold in martial arts, which encircles the opponent's neck and one of the opponent's arms in a configuration similar to the shape of a triangle. The technique is a type of lateral vascular restraint that constricts the blood flow from the carotid arteries to the brain.\n\nIn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this hold is usually applied with the legs from a ground position such as the guard. One leg encircles the neck and shoulder, with the knee next to the neck; the other leg crosses the ankle of the first leg, using the foot of the first leg to "lock" the second leg at the knee. The effectiveness of the technique can be increased by pulling the legs together and using the arms to pull the opponents head towards the attacker's shoulder.\n\nIf done correctly, this technique can cause temporary unconsciousness in seconds. If done incorrectly or held too long, it may injure or kill the opponent. It is used in various grappling martial arts, including Jujutsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, as well as in mixed martial arts competition.

There are many different types\n\nJudo- Japanese style (mainly throwig techniques with a gi, pins and submissions -arm locks, chokes and strangles)\nBrazilian Jujitsu (advanced submissions-arms locks, knee bars, ankle locks, heel hooks, strangles, chokes, guillotines, neck cranks etc.)\nSambo- Russian (submissions with a lot of emphasis on lower body submissions)\nAmerican- takedowns, pins\nGreco Roman- take downs and pins\n\nThese are the main ones but I'm sure there are others

You can go to any Martial Arts store or look in most Black Belt magazines which will give you Nakamura's Katas of Shotokan, or Ken Funakoshi.\n\nThe best place is a JKA School or traditional Shotokan Dojo\nBooks and tapes are a poor way to learn only because there is no one with an expert eye to watch your mistakes and correct you or teach you the Bunkai (Application) of the form\n\nThere are still GREAT Senseis alive for you to study with like Nishiyama, Harada, Kanazawa, Ohshima, Kawanabe, etc\n\nGood luck and never give up.\nIt is a passion and way of life.

As white I am a huge fan of the Marshall attack in the Ruy Lopez, though theory goes so deep that all the games tend to look the same, it is still always fun to fight to keep the pawn while undergoing the Black attack.  As black, I enjoy the Four Knights Sicilian, which looks docile looking after \n\n1. e4 c5\n2. Nf3 Nc6\n3. d4 cxd4\n4. Nxd4 Nf6\n5. Nc3 e6\n\nbut 6... Bb4 can certainly give white trouble if he's not prepared, and the Sicilian becomes very tactical... even some lines of the Najdorf are fun as white;  I'm tactically stronger than I am positionally.  I enjoy the Botvinnik defense of the Semi-Slav against 1.d4.  Open games are what I truly enjoy.

What do you mean by "better"? \nNeed to defend yourself and want to have skills for all possible scenarios?\nThen what you need would be something like Kajukenbo:\nKA (from a Korean style of karate) JU (from judo and jujitsu) KEN (From kenpo) BO(from Chinese boxing, kung fu) \nThis style has developed a reputation as "the perfected art of dirty streetfighting" \nThe second factor of the kajukenbo philosophy is the notion of taking what works and not being afraid to try other martial arts styles. \nYou learn to do anything it takes to win. \nEven if you have to bite, scratch, and kick, there are no rules. You have to fight like an animal if necessary.

I'd say Saito, or possibly Yukishiro Enishi (from the unanimated jinchuu arc) b/c it's a much more personal battle with him.

Ryu Kyu Kempo...It's mostly defense techniques and pressure points and nerve centers for offensive attacks.

The answer to this question depends on what you are looking for from either of these martial arts. Both of these martial arts have been used mostly for sport. If you are looking for sport, then either of the martial arts are good and it depends on whether you want to grapple or strike. It's like comparing apples to oranges really. If you are looking for self defense, then I would say train in both of them. If you can become proficient in Judo and Kickboxing, I think you will be more than capable of holding your own on the street. If you have to choose one over the other, I think you should go with the one you feel the most comfortable with. If you come from a boxing type background, try kickboxing. If you come from a wrestling type of background, go with Judo. They are both effective when placed in their proper context. I'm not sure if this helps but that's my opinion on the matter.

I've got two ideas about this....  One, is similar to the other answers in that if you've been training in other techniques harder, you have possibly gotten sloppy about this one.  \n\n(Though you'll find that as time passes, some techniques you do well now are not necessarily the ones you will do well at other times.  The tactile and kinetic feel seems different at times.)  \n\nThe other idea begins with this question....  Are you training with the same judoka as before?  If so, I'll point something else out.  When you regularly train with the same set of people, they tend to get familiar to your strategies and tactics.  IF in randori they are sure you are likely to resort to Ouchi-gari, then they start to watch for you for signals of it coming.  Then, they are better able to counter it.  Try laying off using it as your go-to technique, but focus on opportunities you can use it and practice your technique as opportunity allows.  \n\nGood luck.

I have been training in Judo for over 13 years. I competed in wrestling in highschool and usually won easily. Because of my Judo it made it very easy to naturaly to move around the matt and leverage my opponants. The wrestling also held my competitioin Judo giving me new ways to take guys down. \nBoth can compiment each other well. Just remember though in Wrestling you can't do most of the Judo throws or submissions so becarefull not to get disqualified.

Judo is definitely not a bad place to start. that is where I started and I am about the same size.  Judo will teach you how to take opponents down and what to do once you get them down (Choke holds, armbars etc.).  Something to keep in mind is that in fighting, there are 3 distances from which to attack or defend. they are what I call "away" (Aprrox. 3 feet from opponent), "close range" (self explanatory) and on the ground.  Judo will teach you close range and ground techniques.\nAs you progree though, you may want to consider other arts to cover the different areas of fighting.  I started with Judo until I received a brown belt (about 3 yrs). from there I went to Tae Kwon Do so I could learn how to kick and cover the outer perimeter (Black Belt). and then I moved on to Kung Fu to cover the short range.  Though I liked all of these arts, my preference would be Kung Fu. from what I've seen, a shorter stature person like ourselves could really benefit from it should the need arise.\nwhichever art you choose though, do your homework. many schools proclaim to be great one's and advance you quickly to get the testing fees out of you (belt factory)!. don't fall for these, they will give you a false sense of confidence that you don't need!\ncheck around, ask alot of questions, if you are interested in competing go one a tournament where the school u are interested in is participating.  If you a see a green belt from another school beat a black belt from your school of interest, then chances are you need to be looking elsewhere.\nGood luck to you!  I hope you enjoy as much I have throughout my life.

If you're looking for a hard (striking) style, any of the variant forms of karate will fit the bill (kempo karate and shotokan karate are fairly popular).\nIf you're looking for a soft (throws, locks, etc) style, I agree with the aikido recommendation.  Especially if you just want to defend yourself and not strike people (Much easier to let the pavement, a convenient table, or bookcase strike them instead).  Aikido is very laid back and has a natural, non-aggressive feel to it.\nIf you want a little more aggression, try jiu-jutsu (the Gracie forms are great for winning tournaments) or judo.\n\nAnd if you want to have fun and try something really different, try capoeira.\n\nAll these styles and more are available for view at wikipedia.org, and most of the major styles have websites (ie. www.aikiweb.com for aikido)

Judo = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo\nKarate = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karate\n\nJudo is more fun than Karate, if you were thinking of taking one of these sports up.\n\nI am also a black belt in Judo, gained my black belt when I was 15 and then gave up when I left school ...... stupid decision I made there :-(
