Yes, like the rear naked choke, I think it's hard to get out of. Assuming it's not applied by a professional I think there are ways to get out of it. Some better than others. The two that I researched: 1) Duck down and towards the arm that is bent back while grabbing the arm that has you and strike at the elbow joint with the other arm. This assumes you can get a hold of the arm that has you. 2) Also, a duck down with vicious strikes to the head and/or body to the point that he releases your arm. Neither are foolproof if he already has your arm locked in.

Thanks everyone Look forward to hearing from everyone.

What would be the best escape in this instance? Let's assume it was almost cinched in without the rear naked choke. Anyone use one that effectively works? I am trying to figure a reversal for the move we applied in self defence class.

My name is Tony from Ottawa. I joined a Shotokan Karate Club (with some Shyto-Ryu). I have my orange belt at the moment. I still have a lot to learn. I started point-sparring a couple of I hope to learn from everyone's experiences. My main focus is self-defence. Cheers
