What would you do if...

[anewsome]

Is this specific to a certain type of technique?

I didn't read all seven pages of responses, so hopefully I'm not going to regurgitate someone elses answer....but here's what I would try to do....

If the arm with the choking hand is straight and locked, I'd hit the elbow as hard as I could with a palm-heel strike in an effort to break it (after all, he's choking me and I'm in fear for my life). If the arm breaks, the tremendous amount of pain inflicted with simultaneously take his mind off punching me in the face.

If the arm is NOT locked, then I would still hit at the elbow joint only in a different direction...towards my head. This will offset his balance, release the choke and give me leverage to grasp his choking hand with my other free hand and, using his captured wrist as a pivot point, continue pushing his elbow and simultaneously twisting my body beneath his to place his own arm in the way of his oncoming fist.

Another technique you can utilize is a nerve strike, knuckles in shoalin long-fist style (straight lead knuckle punch) hitting the nipple HARD. The nerves here control the muscles surrounding the lung, they will constrict forcing the air from his affected lung....he will loose all desire to contiue the fight from that point on. However, this one should only be used in a life or death situation, because he may not get back up (then again, he is choking me).

Greetings!

As I see this, He is probably choking me with his left and punching with his right hand.

I'd attempt to block and keep blocking his right hand punches with my left arm. depending on how he is mounted, I'd try to hook his left leg if possible, with my free right arm I'd try to push his choking hand towards my left and then thrust my hips straight upwards. Hopefully this will cause him to fall to my right where I'd be able to roll out and get away.

I have seen similar techniques to this, I haven't tried them too much but from what I've seen, they do work.
