I like to practice fighting and I've never really tried choke holds because I though they were dangerous but I've seen/read information that says that blood choke holds are safe. I want to practice with my sparring partner but I want to know if it's 100% safe. (I'll only apply the hold until he's unconscious)

Blocking air and blood flow might be one of the safest activities to date.

Yeah. That's why they all called choke holds.

Ya there safe as long as you know your own strength. You obviously don't want to crush his throat or anything. And as far as choking them unconsious most people tap out before then. And you could kill them if you did choke them unconsious and kept the hold on them.

Only if you're doing it right. Otherwise you might be cutting off their air and kill them...

It deprives the brain of blood and thus oxygen, which I wouldn't think is a good thing.

All I know is that someone did it to me, and I passed out for 30 seconds or so, and I was fine after that.

blood chokes r much more dangerous than air chokes, they can cause seizures or worse, if u want to learn martial arts just go to a school so u can learn from an instructor.

Yeah, it's better if you kill him when he's unconcious. Otherwhise he might get testy.
