You can punch and kick, but when you are trapped, you might not strike the attacker right away. You have to get rid of that. For example, the attacker grabs your neck and gets your neck close to his body. If he grabs you tightly and gets your neck close to his body, you might find it difficult to get rid of that.
Before getting to that stage, if you make your move, that's always better. Let's watch this video. The attacker has to put his hand around your neck first in order to grab you like this. When the attacker puts his hand around your neck, grabs and starts pulling, you can grab his hand instantly.
The attacker will still pull your head towards him, but you make it difficult to do that. Now you can strike him. You can hit his groin. Then put your hand below his chin and push up and back. In this way, you can get rid of that.
You can also follow what showed in the video. Your first attempt should be stopping the attacker from getting your neck close to his body.
What strategy works in a situation, that might not work in a different situation. If you see the attacker is good at grappling, it is better to make a distance and fight. You are giving less opportunity to the attacker to grab you when you maintain the distance.
Hope you found that useful. So what would you do if someone grabs your neck like this? Please feel free to leave your comments below.
