There are some fantastic and easy self defence moves for the good old throat grab….It’s great if they do that, in effect they have given you one of their limbs..
My personal favorite and used to great effect – is stick 2 fingers in his throat where the top of the collar bone is, just above the v bit of bone. Push in hard and downwards hooking below the bone. Give it a go on yourself now….(gently!)
Oh and worth digging in your chin and turning it to the angle of the arm helps too.
Simples. Low risk and guaranteed to work. No need to punch.
My other favorite, bit more complicated, is an upper palm strike to the privates, grab the nuts twist and pull. You can add a secondary strike just above delicate parts (aim for just below the belt buckle) with your other hand, as you pull. Women normally like that one.
