Throat Grab

How Can You Get Free?

There are many ways to break free from a single throat grab.  The video below is one example.  In this technique it is important to keep the arm close to your body and twist at the waist.  When striking the attacker's arm, keep your fist above your elbow and drive your forearm into the attacker's forearm.  Once free, immediately counter and then seek help.  Always report an assault to the police. Also, remember that as you practice with a partner you will loose the element of surprise.  The repetition of practice allows a partner to make a technique ineffective.  Your partner must be willing to work with as you learn this technique and rehearse how you would escape.  For more information, visit www.SecureLivingOnline.Com.  Until Next time...Be Safe.

Cane Technique

Escape From a Sleeve Grab

Today we would like to share a cane technique with you.  Remember, self-defense works because you utilize the element of surprise.  When you practice with a partner, they will not be surprised by your response due to the repetition inherent in practice.  This technique involves throwing your partner to the ground.  Done slowly, they will be able to let go before they fall.  Done quickly, they will not.  Therefore, understand this aspect of training and cooperate with your partner.  When you know what is going to happen, you can counter any technique.  Also, consult a physician before engaging in any physical activity, including these techniques.

This escape from a sleeve grab is one of the first cane techniques we filmed for Secure Living Online back in 2007.  Visit www.securelivingonline.com for more techniques.  Until next time...Be Safe!
