Self Defense Against the Two-Handed Front Choke!
Intro: Self Defense Against the Two-Handed Front Choke!
This is a situation where an attacker grabs your throat with both hands and squeezes hard. Darcey and Heather help me demonstrate a counter to the two-handed front choke.

I have to say I stumbled onto this. The arm bar, and esp on
guys, does it really work. I had never known that something like that
existed or was possible! I am not into bjj or martial arts but, and I
know this is not really the best approach, but I was shown and learnt
the arm bar move by a girl friend before after my concerns of being
assaulted or raped and being in on my back situation. Would really freak
me out to such an extent that I said I wanted to learn, and some moves,
anything that may be of help. She taught me the arm bar. I can do the
arm bar but it relies on a lot of compliance from her / my training
partner. But would it really work on say a much bigger, although maybe
not significantly, guy? She kindly showed me in steps and allowed for me
to gradually learn and get to that end point with the arm in placed
correctly (thumb facing up) and slowly (or fast as you apply if in that
situation) arching my pelvis and hips. If locked in, I sometimes feel
that a stronger guy could still bust out of it? My friend says no way,
if technique is good. Any words and advice appreciated, I just want to
follow up more and be encouraged. Thanks a lot and keep up the good
work! Cheers, K

Clap your hands together in front of you, and ram them up into an "A" frame directly above your head, Voila! No more choke hold! Add in a swift kick to the balls and then either shoot the attacker, or run away depending on your carry permit.
In the future please think a bit more realistically when posting for "Self Defense", I understand you meant well, but wrong teaching is frequently worse than no teaching at all.
One last thing, Stun Guns, and Pepper gas are legal most everywhere. They are also really cheap, and really effective. Get one, the other, or both, and learn to use them. Do NOT ever try to learn martial art of any kind from a video. You will just get hurt.

No, my intention is not to get people hurt, and no I'm not inexperienced. This specific move is from taken out of the Gracie Combative curriculum. I'm currently a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt, and I'm a 2 -Time Golden Gloves Champion, Regional Boxing Champion, and a State Silver Medalist in Boxing.
I am well aware that some moves are possible for some, and impossible for others. Escapes are like finding your size in jeans. There are many sizes, but only 1 to 3 sizes might fit you okay. There are MANY different ways to escape from this 2 Handed Choke depending on your gender, strength, height, athletic ability, or your opponent’s weight and strength. I intended to show different escapes from the Two-Handed Choke, but I never got around to posting anymore videos due to my video camera crapping out of me. I posted that video back in 2008!
If some guy is squeezing the hell out of some girl's throat, do you really think she's gonna have time to open her purse, reach into her purse, find her pepper spray, point it in the right direction, and spray her attackers face? That would work if she had it already in her hand ready to go, but not everybody carries that stuff. Plus, have you seen what most women have in their purse? Makeup, credit cards, receipts, keys, money, or whatever. It's a big mess! They have trouble finding their keys in their purses!
Some moves are more complicated than others, but you need to drill a move over and over until it becomes 2nd nature. I don't care how easy or efficient the move is. Repetitions on any move...and yes...even the easy moves need to practiced.
If you have a more effective way of escaping that specific hold them please, post a video. Thanks for watching.

1. Duck head forward and drop weight
2. Twist under arm of attacker to either side
3. RUN
Given, that is just an escape but if that's all one really wants to do (as in getting attacked walking down the road without having to drop everything in your hands), it's much better than attempting a hip throw. I'm 5'3" and I can successfully escape from a fully resisting 6'+ guy much much stronger than myself doing this. It has a pretty big surprise factor too.
