Instantly drop, turn, and attack the face. You only have a split second before you will weaken form the choke so you must react instantly.

If attacker is choking with straight arms, punch one arm straight up, rotate body to that side, swing the arm over and under the attackers arms, and lift the arms under the elbows. This will break the choke and permit counterattacks.

Mugger choke defense

Two-man attack teams walk up behind a person or a couple. One suddenly grabs a person in a rear naked choke, and quickly start pulling the person backward so the person is leaning backward and off balance. From behind, the other attacker quickly goes though the person’s pockets, taking anything valuable. Then, the first attacker drops the person on his or her butt and runs. It is all done very quickly and smoothly from behind. The victim is not injured and he or she never sees the attacker. Many times the person’s partner or bystanders do not even see it happen, yet alone see the attackers.

Some defenses to use are to turn your head into the crook of the choking arm and pull down on the forearm to release pressure, bite the arm, and stomp the attacker’s toes or kick the shins. A backward head butt is possible, but if the assailant's head is too close, the butt may be ineffective. If you are falling backward, launch yourself backward explosively with your legs to knock the assailant off balance. You may land atop the assailant and injure him or her. If not, you are at least prepared for the fall and the assailant will be caught unprepared. If you are falling forward, pull forward, and tuck and roll, dragging the attacker with you.

Another defense is suddenly drop your body straight downward while thrusting the leg that is opposite to the choking arm straight backward while turning your body forward, downward, toward the opposite direction. The object of the movements is to throw the person over your shoulder opposite to the choking arm and to fall atop the person.
