Instructions

  1. 1Start with a partner's seatbelt and one hook in from behind you.
  2. 2Control their choking-side wrist with both hands the moment it approaches your chin.
  3. 3Turn into the trapped hook and clear it with your same-side hand.
  4. 4Face the opponent and re-establish guard or a dominant frame.

What to focus on

Controlling the wrist early, before the hand reaches the chin.

Common mistake

Reacting only after the choking arm is already under the chin.
