Welcome back to Self Defense Situation - What Do You Do? - Part 40. Self Defense Situation - What Do You Do is a series of posts where we talk about different situations and what you can do to defend yourself. You know some techniques, but you see that it does not work in a real-life situation.
The thing is, there are many variables that affect a fight. Something that works in one situation, that might not work in another situation. Some people say that the size of your opponent does not matter. I think it matters a lot. Someone who is bigger than you can punch you, but at the same distance, you cannot reach him if you punch. To hit him, you have to get inside.
If the opponent is stronger, he has the leverage. If he grabs you tight, you are not going to get rid of that easily. Of course, you can handle this situation successfully if you are well trained and know what to do in a situation like this.
We usually share a video from YouTube and talk about some specific things. All video credit goes to the specific YouTube channel. Let's watch this video. I'm going to mention the specific time that we will talk about.

From 1:34 to 1:45 Minutes
This is a single hand choke. If you are standing against the wall, you cannot move back. It looks like a trap. This technique does not involve the only hand, but also the whole body. See the way she moves the attacker's hand, and shifts her body.
If there is a guy who is very strong and chokes you, this is going to be difficult to defend that. When someone chokes you in real-life, he is not going to touch on your throat, he will put pressure on your throat. And this changes the whole thing. Your training partner grabs you tight but does not apply pressure on your throat. That's why you see it works when you practice with him.
So first of all, make sure you can breathe. As soon as the attacker grabs your throat, tight your neck and make it hard. Then it would be difficult to choke you and you can breathe. Now you can apply the technique that shows in the video. If the technique that shows in the video does not work, you can grab the attacker's thumb and pull it outside. Then attack him and get out of there fast.
