haha once he's out you throw the body into the river

[perdedor3571]

pray that a stray meteor hits your attacker in the face.

Too bad it wouldn't be that simple in a real war sitch. You're better of putting a hand over his mouth, then stab the shit out of his kidney. Then set him gently in the water to float away...

Is that the tigris river?

I find this so interesting, Jun Fan Gung Fu has an application just like this. I love Jiu-jitsu.

@ehukai2003 if the attacker takes your balance first like shown here you cannot move your legs to get a position. your natural instinct is to try to regain balance, at that point the choke is already being applied. if the 2 of you fall back the choke is still applied.

@MrGarky I actually learned one other one against this specific standing variation, and usually works on taller guys (weak or strong). You grab the arm around your neck with both hands, one on his forearm and one on the bicep by the elbow. Step behind his outside leg and turn that way, and voila, he lets go and is take down. Finish with armbar, kimora, head-arm choke, etc.

@Vimat15 It's actually possible to knock-out after about 6-7 seconds if you can completely shut-off the carotid arteries. My brother knocked me out a bit (a bit meaning he let me go after I went limp) and I didn't know I was choking because I could still breathe. I wanted to see how long it would take, too. HAHA!

@mataleao360 If it's someone trying to kill you, why would you release the choke?
