Initial Position Recognition

The instructor demonstrates the third defensive option against a rear chokehold from the same starting position. Understanding positional awareness is critical before executing any counterattack.

Foot Placement for Leverage

The defender inserts their foot behind the attacker's body, creating a stable base for the upcoming movement. This foot placement generates the mechanical advantage needed for the subsequent throw.

Head as a Lifting Mechanism

The defender uses their head to elevate the attacker's upper body, applying upward pressure through controlled contact. This lifting action disrupts the attacker's balance and creates the momentum for the throw.

Execution of the Throw

Combining the foot lever and head elevation, the defender tosses the attacker to the opposite side in a controlled manner. This technique effectively neutralizes the rear chokehold threat while repositioning the defender to a safer stance.
