Welcome back to Self Defense Situation - What Do You Do? - Part 54. If you read this series of posts for the first time, you're most welcome. Here we usually talk about different situations and what you can do to protect yourself in that situation.

If someone grabs your wrist or choke you, you have to make your move based on the situation. The attacker can choke in different ways. For example, he can choke to the side, or in front of you or in angle. He can also choke you when you stand against the wall.

Today we are going to talk about something that is different. If you fall on the ground, you had better get up quickly. When you see the attacker on top of you and choke you with both hands while you are on the ground, that is a serious situation.

Let's watch this video. You have a clear idea about the situation. This is not my video and all video credit goes to shihan07.

When you are on the ground, bend your knees. Then it would be easier for you to defend and attack or use your hips to get rid of the critical situations.

If you are in this situation, your first target is to move his hands from your throat. You can grab the attacker's hands with both hands and pull it outside. Since his body weight is on the front, he will fall forward. You can use your hips and roll over to get out of that position. Then you can attack him and leave the place.

In case you cannot move his hands from your throat, you can use your hips and lift it up suddenly, it will make the attacker move forward and lose balance. At the same time, remove his hands from your throat. Now you can use hips and body to roll over and get on the top. Attack him and get up quickly.
