Choke Them With The Wall!

Many times in these type of blogs we look at how to get out from having your back to the wall in a fight. Today let’s look at how we might use the wall to OUR advantage if our opponent has THEIR back to it.


It may not look like much on the video but this is a very powerful choke. When you apply the choke make sure you are pushing in and up as if trying to smear them up the wall. This will up a ton of pressure on their neck and head and bring them up on their toes taking their balance and strength from them. Remember to sink low to leverage your whole body, not just your arms, with this technique.

Next time you’re out and about here is a little mental game you can play. Look at the people around you and imagine what you might do if they suddenly attacked you. Look for what you could use to defend yourself, or what you could use as blocking terrain. Think how you might use your environment help you or distract your attackers. Think about where the exits are and how you might get there without getting caught up in a brawl. Think about what martial art techniques you know that would help and what techniques you would need to avoid.


This like this may seem like just fun and games but it has been proven that visualization is almost as good, if not AS good, as live practice. By playing this game with yourself you are in fact “practicing” or studying this type of scenario and your mind will fill away all the information. So why not play a little game and get the benefit now rather than wait until your need it at which time it will be too late.


Besides you can talk about locations / multiple attackers in the dojo but it’s nothing like actually being in the environment and visualizing whit might happen and what you would do.
