Koko-uchi is thrown just like a reverse punch, to crush throats with the web between your thumb and index finger. Because of the extreme consequences of this technique, it is reserved for advanced students, and it is forbidden in kumite.
The setup for wristlocks can also be imagined as a koko-uchi to the opponent's wrist.
