The only judo choke that I know of that would be that effective outside the dojo is the Hadaka Jimi (Naked arm strangle). This, as most chokes, can be deadly if applied incorrectly. Most chokes take a minimum of 20 to 30 seconds to work, if you apply them perfectly. In a street fight that's a small eternity. Cross chokes from the front leave you open to counter attack from punches and kicks. Scarf chokes rely on gaining access from the rear and the uki having a sturdy shirt. If you're looking to control a person, look maybe to some good joint lock techniques. They're usually more effective and most don't run the risk of a homicide charge!
