Sankaku-Jime Grappling Tee

The triangle choke — Sankaku-jime (三角絞) — is a classic in both judo and BJJ. Whether you catch it off guard or chain it from guard, nothing feels better than watching your opponent realise there’s no way out.

We captured that moment and dropped it onto a premium heavyweight AS Colour blank. Japanese-inspired artwork, grappler-tested fabric, and a limited 2025 release. Wear it like you wear the choke — with style and a little bit of menace.

  • 🎨 Original Sankaku-jime artwork — Japanese-inspired triangle choke design

  • 👕 Premium blank — heavyweight AS Colour Classic Tee (220gsm)

  • 🥋 Designed for grapplers — breathable year-round, layers well in cooler months

INSPIRATION

This design is inspired by all those sessions on the mat when we’ve been caught in a triangle only to realise all too late, that our fate has been sealed (and tapping out a short time later).


Design by: Alex via Kakuto Studios 

SUBMISSION TYPE

Sankaku in Japanese means triangle. This essential submission in BJJ and Judo (known as the sankaku-jime) is one every grappling enthusiast has at least tried, if not attempted to master throughout their grappling career. 

PACKAGING

Simple, eye catching and hand made - all the markers of Kakuto Culture and Kakuto Studios packaging.

 

Our Sankaku tee is wrapped in a Japanese style gift wrapping handkerchief, handprinted in house using the screen printing method with our custom Kakuto Culture Kamon (family crest). Topped with a hand printed post card with the Sankaku design and details about the process to create this particular piece.

 

Reuse this packaging as gift wrapping by following the included Furoshiki (Japanese gift wrapping method) folding directions.
