With regards to self-defense, there are three main points to know. Number one, the perceived level of threat, number two the reasonable and appropriate response and number three, the justifiable use of force. So basically as long as you act reasonably and appropriately to how you perceive the threat and use only a justifiable amount of force then you are acting within the law.
Now here we have got a classic attack, typical straight attack, the double handed choke and if this is on with force, if it's meant, you have got five or six seconds to get out it before you pass out through lack of air, five or six seconds maximum if it's on with force. The first thing you going to do here, the first thing you are going to do is bring your hands up in a submissive gesture now if your attacker is not 100% committed to this attack, few things you are going to comply, he might just ease of a little bit. Don't rely on him but he might just -- what it's really doing, the submissive gesture is giving you speed into your escape.
So from here you can bring your hands over the top of your attackers wrist and into your body, actually touch your chest as you bring your hands over the top. Now what you doing is making hooks out of the wrist here and you are grabbing the wrist of your attacker's arms with this part of your hand. The reason you are into your chest is it that the closer it is you the stronger you are up, the further it is a away form your attacker the weaker they are. From here now you are snapping out, in an explosive motion, snapping out at 90 degrees. Just keep repeating, over the top into your body, snap out.
Now the key thing here, is that your hands come over the top, the inside your arms a parallel with the floor. So you are actually snapping out at 90 degrees, you are not pulling down you are not pulling you up. Snapping out at 90 degrees that gives you the maximum strength. So hands up over the top into your body snapping out at 90 degrees. Again, all you will need to do then is put a canter in, it could be something to simply to push, elbow that we used earlier and get away, you just do what you got do to get away.
Another point I have got to mention, if the strength ratio is reversed, the hands are going to move a lot further. Now if John(Ph) is escaping from somebody who is of Sharon(Ph) size, her arms are going to fly, outside the body line, fly out. If it was the the other way round, if it was this way round, if John(Ph) meant this, those hands are just going to clear the throat but the key thing that you are breathing again, you can put a strikes in that we have used earlier and you are alive, just do what you got do get away okay. Double handed choke escape technique.
