If someone wraps their arm around your throat from behind, this technique can help free you.

- Martial-arts techniques
Step 1: Grab their arm
Using both of your hands, grab onto the arm that is choking you.
Step 2: Shrug your shoulders
Now shrug your shoulders while at the same time pointing your head down, so your chin is nestled in the crook of their elbow. Sink forward.
Step 3: Trap their leg
Next, swing your leg – the one that’s on the side of the arm strangling you – behind their leg and hook your calf around their calf.
Make sure you really trap their leg with yours, as opposed to just lightly placing it behind their leg.
Step 4: Turn around
Make a sharp, 180-degree turn in the direction of the arm that’s choking you, and then pull the assailant across your body.
Step 5: Escape
Make your getaway.
Women who learn self-defense skills have higher self-esteem, according to a study.
