Defensive Tactics Training by Dan Marcou

As a police officer, martial artist and defensive tactics instructor, I have never learned, taught, or used what I would call a “chokehold”

A suspect landing on his back puts most officers in an awkward position for controlling that suspect

The one or two-handed front strangle is a common murderous assault launched by aggressors

An officer must react quickly to break free from this incapacitating hold

When making an arrest, a cohort of the suspect may grab you in this manner to enable their friend’s escape from you

This three-step technique can be a lifesaver for surviving a stranglehold
