Combat Kick Boxing

Rear Choke
Situation Six: You are seized from behind with a rear
choke.
Stamp down hard on your assailant’s foot, then step
backwards with your right leg. Seize the arm around your
throat and pull down. Throw your assailant with ganseki
otoshi.* Stamp down hard on his shin.

*Ganseki Otoshi (Figs. 85 to 89)
The name of this technique means ‘to drop a big rock’.
Seize your assailant’s arm, driving backwards with your
right leg, thus destroying his balance. Then pull his arm
strongly forward and down whilst rotating your body to
the left. Your assailant will be pitched forward and over
onto his back.

The points of emphasis are:
1)Make the drive backwards with the right leg sudden.
2)The arm pull should be simultaneous with the
backward leg movement and the pull should be
maintained throughout the throw.
3)Rotate your body to the left as your assailant is pitched
Fig 85 forward.

This particular throw is deceptive and very fast. Your
assailant will be pitched over before he can react. Try not
to be pulled to the ground with him when he goes over.
Your finishing kick should be fast and snappy and
should connect the second he hits the ground.
