"There is enough blood in the human legs to enable "choking" via contricting the circulation...In the martial arts I train in, there is a kata where one traps an attacker's kicking leg, and clamps down on it, fairly high. Having had it performed on me, I can assure you it leads to rapid unconsciousness."
Spectre: Funny that you should bring this up, 'cause I was intrigued to read recently that you can knock an opponent unconcious with a strong kick to the thigh, thereby shocking the femoral artery and causing unconciousness. Now you bring this up.
That's a neat MA you're involved in, what is it? Does anyone know any other tricks along these lines they'd care to share?
