Stabilise your position and turn your neck slightly to loosen the hold. Shift your weight forward and drive your elbow into the attacker’s neck, jawline, chin, or temple. The elbow strike is preferred since even people of small stature can generate significant force with it. It’s best to flee the scene and seek help.
Seasoned Muay Thai fighter and 3-time bronze winner in the world championships, Kru Hemanth Kumar has also perfected Self-Defence techniques targeting vulnerable pressure points. He has spent three decades teaching and training in multiple styles of Muay Thai.
With this lesson, you will learn a quick and powerful move that you can use to escape a two-arm front neck choke. A two-arm front choke is probably the most common attack people use in fights. Attackers tend to use choking to gain a position of power – a display of dominance. Its physical effects are quite harmful too; choking blocks blood flow to and from the brain, leaving you with about 6 seconds before you become unconscious.
In such conditions where time is of the essence, it becomes particularly essential for you to know exactly what to do to get out of this life-threatening situation. So, let’s understand the most effective moves you can use here. First and most importantly, do not PANIC! Stabilise yourself with a strong core and legs to ensure a powerful blow. And conserve your energy for the actual fight.
Now, turn your neck slightly to the side to loosen the hold. Left or right – doesn’t matter; choose whichever is easier for you. Next, bend your arm at the elbow, shift your weight forward, and strike your elbow upwards into your attacker’s neck, jawline, chin, or temple. A strike to the bottom of the chin is particularly effective as it is one among the three most important knockout points on the human head.
The elbow strike is a surprisingly powerful weapon. People of small stature can also generate incredible amounts of force with this movement. The force of the blow can break bones or even knockout your attacker. Giving you all the time you need to flee the scene and get yourself some help.
The moves highlighted in this article are to be used to weaken the assailant, giving you enough time to get away. Do not remain where your attacker is. He might have friends waiting. Get away as fast as possible and call for help.
Make sure you practise these moves daily with a willing partner or in front of a mirror, so you don’t panic and/or freeze when this happens in real life.
