Scott Pilkinton’s “Trachea Hold” Video Post
Hey, Gang!
Our most recent instructor is a Golden Gloves Champion U.S. Marine Corps boxer with serious street credibility working as an executive protection specialist and nightclub bouncer in some of the most gang-infested cities in CA. He’s earned serious respect because he knows how to both kill, and/or control crazed lunatics with his bare hands. Instead of me talking him up, I’m just gonna let Scott speak for himself as he demonstrates to you how to make this work.
World's Fastest Drawing Knife.
You wanna try out the fastest drawing knife on the planet? Good. Because here's your chance to get it for FREE.
It even comes with a video showing you exactly how to draw this folder from your pocket (one-handed) so that it snaps open and is ready for action in the blink of an eye. (Your buddies are going to be sooo freaked out when they see this).
WARNING!
Be careful! This is not a hold you go throwing on your 12-year-old or—heaven forbid—your wife so you can test whether or not it really works. Hope you enjoyed this short, albeit painful, lesson from Pilkinton.

what about his elbow smash to your temple
Nice love!Interested.
Simple. I love simple
That’s great… unless you’re under 5’2”. Then what?
Nasty and wicked. It’s awesome. I will definitely use this as my go to move. Ty
What if the person is much taller than you. Wrapping your arm around theirs isn’t going to lift him off balance is it? I understand that grabbing the throat like that would get someone’s attention but it your not as big or strong as the other guy you might have just made a grave mistake.
To me, if you manage to get this hold in place, your groin are looks to be open to a knee in the balls?
Thanks so much for the recent info; I’m not looking for a fight, but if one comes my way at least I know I’m ready!!!!! Please keep the videos coming????
ok
If your smaller than the guy your hold. Your gonna die if you do this without working out your next move. I suggest a off Ballance backward trip of the nearest leg. Behind the knee and as he struggles backwards to loosen the grip he will go down. Don’t let him get up again.
I’m looking for the video blog that was done when someone grabs you and you twist their wrist off u with your fingers and put your thumbs in their knuckles. I can’t seem to get it down right bi have weak hands.
Fantastic! I like the “lifting” up of the person as an added bonus.
hi scott, i’m art,thats a nice move. Im no longer in martial arts, but I still like to see what other ma do and teach so thanks for the lesson.
by the way,for #6 Scott a nice ridge hand or tiger claw to the throat works very well also.
I Have a move called the chewy move. It involves delivery to the pressure point on the chin. A chewy Is a pack of Wrigley gum. Try asking your attackers if they would like some.
That hold works very good
Iin high school a kid 3 years older and 50 lbs heavier grabed me by my shoulder muscle. To make it worse he was in the seat behind me
I guess he was showing off to hisiers saying to me does it make you wanna cry. When i grabbed his throat i asked him the same question as teard rolled down his cheek he never bothered me again
Great video and execution of tactic.
Dear fightfast,
Wow, thanks for sending me these incredible fighting techniques. The magic finger, the finger splitter, the head slap. Really appreciate you sending them to me.

How about just punching them in the trach! That’s even faster and more effective…no one wants to stop breathing!
interesting
Interesting move.
That’s an awesome move.
Fabulous
Great quick tips to the point no bs
We used to call that ” The ol C-clamp”. I have used it. It works!!
The trackia hold is very much effective,along with many of the other moves I’ve seen of yours.How about some advanced moves!?
That was awesome. Can older folks do this effectively?
Where’s that magnetic whip that goes around your neck, which is an actual weapon? Wanted to get one but lost that e-mail.
One of many lessons in the navy. Awesome!
Moves are Great. To apply them while attempting to fight is something to have self control. Great moves for a quick stop.
Effective thanks for sharing
Thanks bro a senior called bones told a couple of us to hit em in the throat up side downside
That’s our eagle claw we use in KungFu same thing but it works.
That is something everyone could use. But couldn’t your opponent come down with his free arm and knock the hand holding the throat down?
Hey ! For a guy like me I thought it was a very move to keep me safe
I was taught this particular move in 83 it will take control of most would be attacker’s instantly it’s a must have in your self defense arsenal for hand combat
That move is effective, I have used that move . Works great.
`thanks
As an eye doc, please allow me to suggest an additional reason this is effective: it cuts down or off the major blood supply to the front of the brain, including, of course, the eyes.
Hesitant to perform this on a person a lot larger than I am, as it leaves open his left arm and right knee.
Great info! Every new move you learn just adds to your arsenal. Thank you!
I am a older man, legs are not the best. I’m not sure someone will let an old man that close to use your move. Have you got a better move for older people?
Yes very effective I used this as a Bartender / Bouncer at my Mothers Tavern a few times to get control of unruley patrons who stepped way out of line . The biggest thing about it is once word got around I had very few problems after the those first few times I used it . Heck I am not really that big of a man 5′ 10″ and at that point in time only 160 lbs , basically a skinny runt . But wiry , I have had my days and been had a time or two but all I was attempting to do was keep the peace at Mom’s place . Most respected that and for those that didn’t well They learned , at times fairly painfully that you don’t misbehave at Mom’s Barroom and Grill .
enjoy the self-defense videos, with practice the advise and means for self-defense can be learned and the best thing is most are not complex
I’m familiar with the effects of crushing the trachea as a defensive move in a life-threatening situation. Good to know there’s an effective “alternative” move that needn’t be life-threatening to the opponent, but the difference between the two is a little complicated — getting one’s other arm in a position to hold the opponent in the “come along” position looks to be rather tricky.
Outstanding. When I was a ARMY RANGER they taught our group this hold. YES IT WORKS. I USED IT MANY TIMES. IT WORKS GREAT. YES YOU DO NOT PLAY WITH THIS HOLD, WE WERE TAUGHT IT ON MEN STANDING, ON THE GROUND, ETC. PLEASE DO NOT PLAY WITH IT. USE ONLY IF YOU MEAN BUSINESS.
SGT MAX JACKSON U.S. ARMY RANGER RETIRED.
Love this!! Times are so different now great knowledge to have especially for women that have travel alone for job!! Thank you been practicing on my husband
Very nice, don’t touch me lol thats my purse!!
I have always considered a neck hold as a means of defense, but didn’t know the technique.
good heads up move . sort of an aikido self defense maneuver .
I have somebody try to do that until I crush their f****** hand
Cool move! It seems easy enough with great use of body mechanics.
