Release From Rear Choke

Step 1 — Stance Stay balanced with your feet shoulder‑width apart. Keep your chin tucked to reduce pressure on your throat.

Step 2 — Reach Back Over Your Head Bring both hands up and reach back over your head. Grab the attacker’s hands or wrists to reduce pressure and gain control. Keep your elbows tight to your body for strength.

Step 3 — Drop Your Centre of Gravity Bend your knees and lower your stance. This weakens the choke and gives you more power for the next movement.

Step 4 — Step Back to Break Balance Step one foot behind and slightly to the side of the attacker’s leg. This disrupts their balance and helps loosen the choke.

Step 5 — Palm Strike to the Groin (Training‑Safe Targeting) With your free hand, deliver a strong palm strike toward the attacker’s inner thigh or lower abdomen in training. This simulates the real‑world groin strike safely and forces them to loosen their grip.

Step 6 — Rear and Up Elbow Strike Immediately follow with a rear elbow strike, driving it back and upward. Aim for the attacker’s upper chest or shoulder in training. This keeps the movement tight, fast, and effective.

Step 7 — Step Forward and Stomp Kick Step forward to create space, then deliver a stomp kick backward toward the attacker’s knee or lower leg (training‑safe). This helps you disengage and prevents immediate pursuit.

Step 8 — Step Out, Turn, and Face the Attacker Move out to the side, turn your body, and face the attacker. Keep your hands up and maintain awareness.

Step 9 — Scan Look around your environment for safety, exits, or additional threats. Stay balanced and ready to move.
