This incident is the case that a male junior high school student was choked (a judo technique called “shime-waza”) and lost consciousness (a state called “ochi”) by a coach in a private judo school. But then he was inflicted corporal punishment using the technique by the coach on the grounds that he was supposed to have broken the rule that chokehold against under age was prohibited in the school. He lost unconscious twice by the chokeholds. He and his parents took the coach to the Fukuoka District Court and claimed for damage by the illegal act. The Court judged that the way of instruction using chokehold was inappropriate and declared the act of the defendant illegal. And the Fukuoka High Court supported this judgment. After that, All-Japan Judo Federation notified officially that choking was regarded as an act of violence. It is now essential for all judo concerned to understand the risk of losing consciousness by chokehold.
