On Friday, we worked on this move in our martial arts class. It's pretty easy and surprisingly effective. They show it in slow-mo so you can learn it; obviously you would want to do it much faster in real life. Now grab your favorite person and try it out!

Huh, that's a different one that we do. I don't think they're IKMF though. I think that's the American version...
Jo, what do you do? Is it very different?
You know, thinking about it, we haven't done a rear choke into the wall. I'm thinking it would be close to a bear hug into the wall, but who knows? With a bearhug into the wall, we push off with our feet/foot (or hands if we're too close) and spin around (still attached to the other person) and slam them backwards into the wall.
Our standard rear choke release is a behind-the-head snatch of their hands with a sidestep, a groin slam with the hand, and a couple of elbows to the head. I'll let you know if we learn a wall-specific one though.
My only thought with the one in the video is that it would be awfully hard to twist around like that inside the person's hands if they were gripping your neck hard. Which I would think a serious choker would...
Jo, if you do it quickly (before you pass out), your straight arms acts like a lever and pops their hands off. They literally can't hold on. Try it with Andy. :)
We do the other rear choke release as well. But for a rear choke with a push, we go with it, then pivot one straight arm up and around, like the video.
What a GOOD thing to know. I'm gonna practice it on my husband right away. "Oh, Honey?" (Hee-hee-hee.)
Thanks, Mrs. Mama.
I'll have to try it out :)
