A Real Choke Hold Break 2

This is for those of you who are not able to use the pressure point way to break a chokehold. I am doing this in slow motion to allow you to see what I am doing. Once you have the moves do them faster and they will work for you.

Master Lee, how do you prevent the attacker from switching the choke to a head lock?

[HoShinRyuMaster]

@Micahel213

If you grab the forearm of the choker and turn your body towards the attackers shoulder of that same arm the choke will not work. Then pulling down on the elbow of the attackers arm and bring his wrist up over your head you will be able to place him or her in a figure fore arm bar.

@HoShinRyuMaster

Master Lee, I understand. But how do you ground yourself for that counter taking into account the force of impact caused by the attack? The way the attacker has his arms locked would easily cause him to switch to a headlock the moment his choking arm would be dislodged from the hold. To prevent this from happening it would seem to me that you'd have to ground yourself first so that you can execute the counter in one swift move.

It is all in your stance and keeping your center of balance lower then theirs, and make yourself the cent of the universe everything flows away from your center. This is an exercise in Ki flow that makes your strength without physical.

@HoShinRyuMaster

Master Lee, excuse me for asking so many questions. But how can you keep your center lower than theirs if you don't know they're coming for you? An attack might be launched by someone who's center is naturally lower which would actually cause them to pull your balance off center resulting in a disturbance of your body alignment. I am asking you all this because I am currently studying the effect of these type of attacks on body mechanics and their counters.

@Micahel213

First off if his arms are around your neck wouldn't that put his center of balance higher then yours? Widen your stance and you will be even lower, then project all of your energy into a circle around behind him and he will lose control of you as you gain control of his center. Now focus your energy to the ground and he will have to fallow it.

I'm sure it works in this role playing set, but will it work in a real fight when you're tired and exhausted. I don't think it will.

@jrve You think too much.

[raramstad]

[BuffaloTC]

You actually teach people this crap? You're going to get some overconfident idiot killed! You actually propose I turn INTO the choke!!??

The assistant told which way he was going to choke you.

i have been in lots of fights. these defense videos are nice to give u some idea of how to break a hold, however the reality of it is not so easy. it takes seconds before you are out cold. best advice is to avoid the fight. if you cannot do it, then you must fight to win. there is no such thing as a clean fight. if u are caught in a rear naked choke, reach back with both hands and put them on the attackers head. put your thumbs into both eyes, keep the pressure on & hope they let go.

@HoShinRyuMaster

Master Lee, excuse me. You're right that his center might be higher than yours depending on the actual height difference. But if he's at that moment that he has his arm around your neck his momentum alone will throw you off. If you're attacked high it doesn't take much for that to happen (please observe my vid involving hair grab defenses).

@jrve

apart from ringsports real fights don't take that long.
