Rob, hey….while the technique discussed does work, there should be some discussion as to whether or not a rear choke calls for a lethal force response. Where there’s a serious size disparity, I would tend towards “yes”. But as shown? There are numerous techniques that are both simple and effective for defeating such an attack. The only reasonable justification I can see for YOU or ME going straight to a lethal force response would be if I believe the attacker is going for my weapon; and if I am carrying CONCEALED, how would he even know I have it?
Hi, John. The problem is, when you watch a video, you can see “size disparity”… when you are ambushed from the rear and are being choked, there is no such privilege. Choking is a lethal attack, lethal response is 100% appropriate, especially from the rear.
