Walk Away from the Choke!

A very simple defense against a one-handed choke is to take one step backwards! In this episode, we discover how to do this while defending ourselves against an increasingly aggressive attacker. We also got bombarded by an angry squirrel while we were shooting this technique underneath his favorite tree. It's hard to fight the forces of nature, especially while laughing. Remember, when practicing choke defenses, make sure that your and your practice partner review the subject of "tapping out". It's very important to practice safely!
