If someone wraps their arm around your throat from behind, this technique can help free you.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Martial-arts techniques

Step 1: Grab their arm

Using both of your hands, grab onto the arm that is choking you.

Step 2: Shrug your shoulders

Now shrug your shoulders while at the same time pointing your head down, so your chin is nestled in the crook of their elbow. Sink forward.

Step 3: Trap their leg

Next, swing your leg -- the one that's on the side of the arm strangling you -- behind their leg and hook your calf around their calf.

Tip: Make sure you really trap their leg with yours, as opposed to just lightly placing it behind their leg.

Step 4: Turn around

Make a sharp, 180-degree turn in the direction of the arm that's choking you, and then pull the assailant across your body.

Step 5: Escape

Make your getaway.
