Okay so we've got Kiely here, he's between my legs. Now Kiely is a trained Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu Martial Artist. He's got great posture. He's got great base. We don't want you to misunderstand that from what the real perpetrator may be doing, which is just aggressing. They're either going to be forcing themselves forward. They're gonna be trying to, you know, trap my hands. Might be moving one hand to undo clothing. But if they go for my throat, listen to me closely, if they get my blood flow to stop, I could be choked unconscious in less than ten seconds. If that occurs, the fight is over and they will do what they want with me, okay? The first priority is to grab the hands and the wrists. Lookit. Elbows are here. I'm still gonna bridge up to use my body weight to help my strength, and break this down. Look at this. I can breathe again. I can feel the blood flow start to go back to my brain again. I bought myself a few seconds, if nothing else. Now lookit. I'm gonna use my foot. It doesn't matter which one I do, I could do either one. Whichever one I feel most comfortable. But I'm gonna base a foot down, and I'm gonna scoop my hips out. I'm gonna do it now on this side to show you what I'm gonna do with the opposite foot. Lookit. Put my foot down. Scoot out. And bracket my foot here. Now lookit. Lookit already. I'm here. Knee strike to the head. If it takes two, do it twice. Strong knee strike to the head. Do whatever you've gotta do, I mean if you can palm strike to the face, do it. If you can knee strike to the head, do it. Lookit. He sees it coming, he postures back. Here we go! Shin to the side of the face like a soccer kick. Is all going to be threat neutralizing, fight ending blows. Learn how to do it. Practice it. Save your life. Here we are. We're with a training partner. They get us in this choke position. And you can do this slowly until you get comfortable. But the choke position from your teammate should be a little uncomfortable. I want you to start to feel like that. In Jiu Jitsu we call it the tap. If you feel like you're getting choked or you feel like you're gonna pass out, or you feel like it hurts, we tap. And then your training partner lets go. There's a trust factor there and it's vital. It's vital. So build that here. Borrow that from us. So if he chokes too much and I feel like I'm gonna go unconscious, I'm gonna just tap and I don't even have to say it to him. But I want him to put enough pressure that I get comfortable with this uncomfortable position. I'm now going to grab the insides of his wrists so I have a nice, firm grip. Lookit now. I bring my elbows forward and my stomach up, my bridge up, so that I can clamp down to my stomach, drop my hips and get that pressure off my neck. Now I'm going to take my foot, left or right, and post it on the ground as I scoot my hip out, I want to scoop it out far enough that I can insert one foot. From there, I'm gonna take the free knee and strike. And now obviously we're not gonna strike hard, we're gonna pretend here until we get to the practice session. We could actually have your training partner hold a mitt but it's too complex. This is more of an advanced self defense move and it's too complex. I think it's better off for you just to mimic the move without hurting your training partner so that you get comfortable with the positioning. If they put their head up, visualize the palm strike. Visualize a heel strike. And then practice getting up and getting out of the situation.
The whole goal of self-defense training is to help prevent you from getting into the position where the aggressor is on top of you between your legs. In this worst case scenario, there are some things you can do to escape. The first priority is to prevent the aggressor from choking you unconscious. You can grab the aggressors wrist and pull them down to release the pressure off your neck. You would then brace a foot down and scoot your hips out. Brace a foot against aggressor's pelvis, give knee strikes to the head or palm strikes to the face.
