Sneaky and Brutal Self-Offense Rear Takedown

Take Out The Threat

Sometimes for the protection of others it may be necessary to take down an attacker who is threatening someone else. In situations like these you need a self-defense move which removes the threat while not endangering people around you.

This video is a perfect example of a quick and easy to learn rear takedown technique that will take an attacker down very quickly allowing you and others around you to escape, or follow up with other self-defense techniques if escape is not a practical option.

How To Pick Locks. (Who Needs Keys?)

You may find this shocking, but picking open a standard "tumbler" lock, (like the one on your front door), is pretty damn easy when you know how it's done.

And in a "meltdown" survival situation, (once the smash-n-grab crowd has stolen everything not tied-down), the food and water and secure shelter will all be behind locked doors, (which explains why Special Forces are often trained in lock picking... and why they carry a set of lock pics with them).

It's a lot of fun learning this skill, (it doesn't take long)... and kinda nice to help out that buddy locked out of his house after the wife discovered what really happened on that "no money down" real estate seminar in Vegas.

Breaking It Down


The instructor in this clip is 5 Time World Kickboxing Champion Kathy Long. She is not only a great fighter in the ring, but also knows the kind of simplified no-nonsense moves that can save your skin on the streets.

After watching the video I’m sure you’ll agree. There isn’t too much that needs to be explained for this self-defense technique. There are just a few key points to make this rear takedown effective.

The first step to this rear takedown technique is to strike the outside and back of the attackers knee with a quick kick. It doesn’t take much force. This will cause him to lose his stability and lower his body so that if you are smaller you will still have access to his throat for the next part of the move.

Next you’ll be stepping forward while swinging your arm around to strike his throat with the bony part of your forearm. The goal is to put the attacker on the ground so if you have enough time to think about it striking down on the throat will help ensure that he falls as opposed to just stumbling backwards.

Either one will work in most self-defense situations but putting him on the ground gives you more time to escape. The scenario at the end of this clip shows one of the many real life situations where this fighting technique can be used.

  8. Kathy Long is a true martial arts icon, a 5 time World Kickboxing Champion and Black Belt Hall of Fame legend. Her nickname is, “Queen of Mean”. Chuck Norris said, “…she’s the best female fighter I’ve ever seen.” This video clip shows you why!

  14. Ah Roland,old stick,simple is always better especially when you are adrenalized.Good old Kath never disappoints with her material and this irimi nage that she has demonstrated is one of the better moves in Aikido and obviously works well on the street.In a life threatening situation I would NOT hesitate to utilize this move but the side kick should be sufficient in a non life threatening situation.Legal and court costs can be a bitch and receiving a strong forearm across the throat could seriously damage or even kill your adversary.I would be inclined to stomp the heel once the adversary is down or collapsed.If they can`t stand they can`t fight and a stomp on the heel works every time.

  15. I heard that if someone tries robbing you at an atm, put in your pin backwards and money will come out, but it will be stuck and it will trigger the police that you are being robbed. -3-

  29. Straightforward and effective. Please post more of these simple but devastating moves. I personally found out, the hard way, that the street is nothing like the dojo. The dojo has nice flat, open, spacious training areas. The street has steel parking meters, sign poles, parked cars, curbs to fall from and lose your balance, etc. With all the dojo training I had, I learned that it just did not translate to the everyday world we live in. We, or at least I, would really appreciate more real-world videos showing real-world techniques. Thanks.

  32. That move is simplicity in itself to learn and must be highly effective to ruin the intententions of a would-be assailant or mugger especially with the knuckle punch to the throat which caused my anus to blink a few times not to mention the assailants backside…..

  42. Another great effective and easy move to help someone else or maybe in another situation as well. Great move but then I really expected no less. These moves usually are. Thank you for sharing it with us.

  44. Hey Kathy, nice strike/follow up combination! I’ve practiced PPCT and martial arts for many years but will never fool myself either. When SHTF, I always have a ‘back up parter’ that has no problem in dispatching a wanna be gangster. It is he who dictates the increase in using more or less aggression. Take care and until next time, watch your six!

  47. Maybe it would be advisable to attack on his other side. Otherwise f he’s threatening somebody with a knife you might find out too late.
