You are heading to your house at night after work or party with friends only for thugs who want to reap where they did not sow to put you in a chokehold.

Given the prevalence of chokeholds, it is important to know how to defend oneself when you find yourself in such a situation.

The first thing when you are put in a chokehold is not to panic.

Be fast in your reaction.

One way is to turn very fast to face the attacker.

It may not be effective if you delay, you have to be very fast.

When facing the attacker, you can push them with your two hands off them or throw a punch or kick.

Another technique is to use your elbow.

Drive your elbow into the stomach of the attacker and this will make them loosen their grip.

Turn towards them and strike.

The final technique involves grabbing their genitals and pulling with as much force as you can.

This will result in the loosening of their grip.

You can then throw a kick or a punch.
