 |
| Your opponent chokes you with two hands from behind. | Grab your opponent's hands, placing your thumbs on the back of his hands. Turn his hands inward (so your thumbs go from pointing down, to pointing up) as you lift his hands. |
 |
 |
| As you raise his hands, step left under his arms, keeping a tight grip on his hands. | Step back with your right foot, pulling your opponent's arms back and down for the takedown. |
 |
 |
| Maintain control of your opponent throughout the takedown. | Finish with an appropriate technique. |
You must react quickly when your opponent grabs you from behind. You have limited time when you're being choked, and you must surprise your opponent in order to be able to break his grip and take him down.
