Techniques to Try: Defense against a front choke

Self-Defense

Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers. Find the original post as published at this link: http://invictaselfdefense.blogspot.com/2013/06/techniques-to-try-defense-against-front.html

This is not a good place to end up. Ever. 
You’ve got very little time to react and you will need to get air immediately.  Very few empty-hand attacks will put you in as much danger, and you will need to react to the threat right away. 

Front choke 


Fig. 2 – Yellow (carotid arteries), green (trachea),
blue (carotid artery and trachea)

There are 3 things that can be happening when you’re being choked: 
a) You’re losing oxygenated blood into the brain if pressure is being applied to the carotid arteries (yellow line in fig.  2). This can make you pass out, but it can lead to brain damage and, of course, death. 
B) Air is not being allowed into the lungs if the trachea in the front of the neck has been blocked (green line)
c) It’s possible that both the trachea and the carotid artery/arteries are being influenced (blue lines).

You have very little time before you pass out from a choke (literally moments ), so it’s good to be familiar with a couple of defenses against a front choke: 

1. GET AIR 

  • One way which you can decrease the pressure on your trachea/carotid arteries is to flex your neck muscles. Flexing the muscles engages them and forces them to expand and provide some protection for your trachea and arteries. The same as the picture on the right here, you can flex your neck muscles by turning the corners of your mouth downward, and by concentrating on earning your neck feel tight and powerful. You need to see your neck looks, and if you feel that your neck before and after you flex it, there should be a noticeable difference. It should feel tender when your neck is relaxed; it feels much harder, when you have flexed your muscles. 
2. REMOVE HANDS & STRIKE HARD (see this great link on hard hitting from IKMF Toronto)

  • Your palms will naturally come up to your attacker’s hands since you obviously want to pull them away from the neck. Use that inclination to pluck away their hands just enough to get some air, and strike hard. Just like the saying”a rolling stone gathers no moss” suggests, it is tough to hold onto someone who’s moving a lot. Here, this woman is really doing is windmilling her arm (and if it does not work for you the first time, windmill over and over and again and HARD), and she strikes after. 

3. RUN AWAY AND GET HELP 

There is no sense in continuing to engage this individual, because the odds are that he will either a) assault you again b) you will get hurt. Your only concern at this point is to be safe, so run away to a public area and call the police. Report all incidents of misuse and/or attack.  While they might be OK for someone who practices martial arts regularly, I’m not fond of recommending them to women with little if any martial arts background. In all honesty, even as a martial artist, I am a firm believer in doing techniques in real life that are easy, effective, and can permit me to get the hell outta there as fast as I can. My security and health are too important to me to want to attempt and prove something. 
  • Avoid trying methods that will require some real ability to get the release. This video is a excellent example of some really unrealistic moves to educate women with no previous training. You’ve got so little time to get off the hands your neck that trying to strike upward at the elbows will only be effective if a) you have the strength to deliver a serious blow, and b) you actually remember to do it if your brain is in panic-mode: 


    • *There are about a billion variations on this escape, and if you do not like the ones that I’ve posted above, feel free to share your favorite (s) in the comments section below! Ladies, if you’re interested in checking out some different YouTube videos, there are a whole lot of great ones. Ultimately you’re looking for techniques which are powerful, quick, and realistic. The only way you will know which one of these works best for you is to grab a partner and try some of these out. 

    Have fun and be safe.

    Street Fight Self-Defense Lessons: What We Can Learn From Schoolyard “MMA”

    Self-Defense

    Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers. Find the original post as published at this link: https://moderncombatandsurvival.com/self-defense-2/street-fights/street-fight-bully-attack-self-defense-lessons/

    …and fighting a bully was sufficient to get him to leave you alone.

    Actually, I stumbled upon this “street fight caught on camera” video the other day…
    We like to believe that if you only know the correct methods, you can Bruce Lee your way out of ANY situation.
    Today’s high school kids, though, are doing their best to kill each other, it feels like.

    When the bully had a knife or some other weapon, he could easily have killed another child.

    Regrettably, the victim didn’t realize that he was in a fight until it was too late.

    3. Aggression Beats Skill In A Real Fight

    … people usually “fought fair”…
    Just because he’s bigger doesn’t mean you can’t beat him… but there are right ways and a lot more wrong ways to do it.
    The classes you can learn from this video, exactly like the schoolyard fight video, could save your bacon when it matters.

    (Warning: Strong language)

    Assessing the power of aggression COULD save you against even a much larger attacker.

    Body Language As Self-Defense

    Self-Defense

    Please note that we are NOT the original writers of this blog post. All credit goes to the original writers. Find the original post as published at this link: http://invictaselfdefense.blogspot.com/2013/05/body-language-as-self-defense.html

    By: Drew Fabricius

     I think you’d be surprised how much you reveal about yourself through your body language.  

    Do you stand erect with your head up or do you slump your shoulders with your head hanging?   Are your moves spastic or relaxed?  
    Our assessments of people happen on a subconscious level (or aware, if you know what to look for) based on body language cues we get from other people.   Usually, within moments of interacting with somebody, we are able to come to a pretty accurate idea of how someone views themselves.   Do they think they are valuable and rewarding or do they think they are poor and meek?   We’re able to determine this by all of the tiny, minute signs we give off through how we sit, stand, walk, speak etc.  Everything we do outside of the real words that come from our mouths, says something about us.  

    Your body language is the manifestation of your beliefs about

    Perfect example of a certain woman.
    Notice how she’s completely comfortable
    in her own skin and owns her presence. If you view yourself highly and think you are rewarding, then your actions will follow suit.   Conversely, if you believe that you’re unattractive and not valuable, you will embody these beliefs.  This plays a bigger role in our interactions with others than you might think.   Let us pretend that you are someone who is looking to take a person’s wallet from them.   You are scoping out potential victims for your crime.   There are not many people out at this time of night but you see two people walking.   One is.   He stands tall, looks comfortable and does not look easily intimidated.   The other guy has both hands in his pockets, has his head down and is briskly walking.   It is almost as if He’s EXPECTING to get jumped.   Which is the target?   Right?   Like I said, you already have an idea of how these two people view themselves and you haven’t even talked to them yet!   And since this is a blog devoted to self-defense, what better way to shield yourself from prospective attackers than to pre-empt an assault by giving off the vibe that you’re a difficult target ie. You’re someone who values themselves GREATLY (but not in an arrogant way) which you expect people to treat you so.  In actuality, it would be bizarre if they did treat you any differently.   Easier said then done, right?   It can be hard at first if you have been someone your whole life who conveys themselves as the next person in the example above but change is possible.  

    Your body language and your beliefs about yourself have a yin-yang relationship with one another; they both affect each other.   So as to carry yourself as someone who values themselves, it’s best to change both your body language and your beliefs.   I’ll save a post for another time on your beliefs, so for now let us just work on having proper body language:

    • Good posture. Make sure your back is straight; shoulders are down, back and relaxed; chin up a bit.   Imagine if there were a string and you pulled up it.   The picture below is how your posture should look:

    • Own your distance.  Own your existence .  Be powerful but not arrogant.  
    • Slow down your movements.  They Ought to be relaxed and slow and reflect that overall, You’re coming from a place of”I’m mature, secure and confident”.   You’re Not in a hurry to get anywhere and You’re completely content wherever you are.   The most amazing thing is that the better you get at carrying yourself in a way that communicates”I am valuable”, others will start to treat you that way and this will further solidify to yourself that you are, in fact, valuable.   This ultimately comes down to how you feel about yourself.   If you’re strong on the interior, then you are going to embody strength.  

       Now, of course, even confident people get attacked here and there.   I am not saying that this is a sure-fire way to avoid confrontation with other people completely.   But, I’d wager that criminals would think twice about attacking someone who clearly is internally strong.  

      If you want more info on this topic, I highly recommend checking out this awesome TED talk on body language and looking/feeling strong:

      Is EMPIRE Rain & Senses In Oakville A Good Investment?

      Sometimes builders provide special DISCOUNTS off of the purchase price or what they call,  “builder INCENTIVES”.   These reductions and incentives are made available through VIP Realtors (like myself).
      One gentleman that I was speaking to last week was a first time condo buyer in Toronto Canada.
      I hope you’re doing well.

      Hi There,

      EMPIRE: Rain & Senses
      B) EMPIRE Is Offering a FREEE $10,000 Furniture Package with the purchase price of any suite.
      I enjoy this condo project for a few reasons:

      EMPIRE would be second of course to Mattamy.   (Read About: Mattamy’s Vita On The Lake Here)

      The Bad News…
      Situated on Lake Ontario, it is part of the Greater Toronto Area. As the 2016 census the population was 193,832, of. ”

      Move fast though because the housing market in The Greater Toronto Area is insane.

      Senses & rain is SOLD OUT.

      A)  There are limited high rise condo buildings in Oakville.  
      In my view, the FREE $10,000 Furniture Package that EMPIRE is offering is a very good builder incentive.

      “Detached houses in The Town of Oakville went up in value 38.4% year over year from November 2015 to November 2016.
      The Good News…

      Neil

      This Remarkable Free $10,000 Furniture Package Offer will come to an end shortly.   It is for a limited time.

      I am a Real Estate Broker with RE/MAX in the Greater Toronto Area.

      I get asked by people what sort of real estate they should be investing in.

      Here is some important information on “Rain & Senses” as well as some of my personal opinions on this new condominium project:

      “Rain & Senses” is a pre-construction condo being constructed by EMPIRE, located in The Town of Oakville.

      [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCQTWcbUPw0?feature=oembed&w=600&h=338]
      Today I’d like to talk to you about:
      The date in which EMPIRE will no more be honouring this deal is March 12th 2017.

      Sometimes builders try to eliminate offering prospective purchasers with cheap and not too significant incentives.   That is clearly not the case with EMPIRE.   I’m impressed with this Incentive that they are providing, and I believe more builders should provide excellent incentives like EMPIRE is demonstrating here.
      So if you have any interest in purchasing a unit in this condominium project, and if you would like to get this Remarkable Builder Incentive, you need to act fast.   You can email me directly at neil@firstrentalproperty.com to find out what the next steps are if you want to purchase a unit.

      The common thread with these people is they are interested in purchasing a condo in Toronto Canada, or even a home in The Greater Toronto Area that they would live in or rent out to tenants.
      Some state that EMPIRE is the second largest builder in Ontario, Canada by the amount of units sold.

      Like the saying goes, “All Good Things Come To An End”.
      Happy Investing!

      Some people that I speak to are experienced with real estate, but others don’t have too much experience.
      With this sort of dramatic increase in worth, people are naturally going to gravitate towards lower priced property, such as new building condos.

      • SUITES AVAILABLE: 1 Bed, 1 Bed + Den, 2Bed, 2 Bed + Den
      • SQUARE FOOTAGE (RANGE) OF AVAILABLE UNITS: 543 square feet to 1250 square feet
      • PRICE (RANGE) OF AVAILABLE UNITS: $329,990 to $739,990
      • EXPOSURES AVAILABLE: North, North/East, East, South/East, South West, West
      • TOTAL NUMBER OF BUILDINGS: two
      • TOTAL NUMBER OF FLOORS: 19
      • PARKING: One parking space is included in the purchase price (additional parking available for sale at $30,000 + HST)   (What is HST? )
      • LOCKER: $4,000 + HST
      • CEILING HEIGHT: 9′ Ceilings
      • MAINTENANCE INCLUDES: Gas, Common Element Expenses & Building Insurance (Hydro and Water is separately metered)
      • OCCUPANCY DATE: June 21st 2017 (Initial Tentative Occupancy Date)
      • DEPOSIT STRUCTURE: 1st Deposit (with Arrangement ) is $5,000, 2nd Deposit (30 Days From 1st Deposit) is the Balance to 5%, 3rd Deposit (Due On Occupancy) is 5 percent.   For a deposit of 10%.

      This is Wikipedia’s definition of Oakvillle:

      Most the people that I talk to are interested in investing in Toronto property .
      The Town of Oakville is very particular with regards to dealing with Builders.   As such, the town hasn’t approved many high rise buildings to be built in The Town itself.   As such, there is in my view limited inventory in Oakville when it comes to high rise condo buildings versus some of the neighbouring cities and towns near Oakville.

      EMPIRE is a great builder, and people want to own real estate built by great builders. And of course Oakville.   Oakville is a City
      If you are knowledgeable about the Greater Toronto Area, you know that Oakville is an ‘upscale’ City located approximately 20 minutes by car west of Toronto.
      And and as we know already, where there is limited supply, and when there is demand for that limited supply, this is what pushes property prices up.

      To get this remarkable $10,000 Furniture Package, and to reserve a suite to buy, email me today at neil@firstrentalproperty.com
      EMPIRE is really going over and beyond what other builders offer as their builder incentives, and they’re clearly trying to provide something of VALUE for their potential purchasers.
      You will have to move quickly in the event that you would like to purchase a unit in this EMPIRE community AND if you would like to get their FREE $10,000 Furniture Package.
