It's often a way for them to \"amp\" themselves up to more damaging moves like punches and elbow strikes. You don't want to let that happen. That's why I'm sharing this video clip with you. Lucky for you, the \"rag doll\" grab, where an attacker takes hold of you by your clothing and jerks you around, is a pretty easy one to defend against.<!--more-->\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<div class=\"flex-video\" style=\"float:none!important;margin: 0, 0, 1rem, 0!important\">\n  <iframe width=\"1365\" height=\"947\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xFcl1Uf6BTg\" style=\"border:0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-10 medium-centered large-6 large-centered columns\">\n\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h4>Breaking It Down<\/h4>\nFirst off, both of the attackers hands are occupied gripping your clothing. This means you'll have both hands free to take him out. Second, he's probably so preoccupied with his emotions he won't be ready for what's about to happen to him.\n<h4>Step 1: Open With A Distraction Technique<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-3 columns align-to-p right img\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/neck-throw-pt-1.png\" width=\"100%\" style=\"margin-bottom:1rem;\"><\/div>\n<ul class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>As with many good self-defense strategies, it's best to start off with a painful and quick distraction technique.<\/li>\n \t<li>In this case we're opening with an eye gouge, which will cause his focus to go to the pain and fear this move temporarily creates.<\/li>\n \t<li>While he's focusing on how much pain he's in, you want to prepare to hit him with a kick to the inner leg.<\/li>\n \t<li>The goal here is obviously to take out his base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOnce you've inflicted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/nbcv\/RWRLD\/ntbt-k.php?utm_campaign=RWRLD&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=BillyNeckThrow_12-6-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">hefty amount of pain<\/a> and have taken out his base, you are ready to move on to the next step of this technique.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>Step 2: Daze and Confuse Your Opponent<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-3 columns align-to-p right img\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/neck-throw-pt-2.png\" width=\"100%\" style=\"margin-bottom:1rem;\"><\/div>\n<ul class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>Next, you'll want to go back up top with a brutal self defense ear slap.<\/li>\n \t<li>Together these fight moves should have him dazed and confused, which is exactly how you want him for this devastating neck throw.<\/li>\n \t<li>Note that while the neck throw may look difficult, it relies on leverage, not brute force. This makes it much simpler in practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis technique also works on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/ar\/SM-k.php?utm_campaign=SMALL&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=BillyNeckThrow_12-6-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">bigger attackers<\/a>.

This is <em>exactly<\/em> where you want them.\n\nBefore moving on to the final step, keep in mind that this technique doesn't rely on brute force, but on leverage. This means that it is effective, even against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/ar\/SM-k.php?utm_campaign=SMALL&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=BillyNeckThrow_12-6-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">bigger, stronger attackers<\/a>.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>Step 4: Throw Your Opponent<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"blog-lists\">\n \t<li>Be sure that your feet are not too wide apart (they should be on the inside of his legs).<\/li>\n \t<li>While you squat down you need to tighten your arm around his head, bringing him further over your shoulder.<\/li>\n \t<li>To complete the throw, you simply stand back up while continuing to pull him over your shoulder.<\/li>\n \t<li>Standing up will take him off his feet and his body will \"tip\" over your shoulder, slamming him on his back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOnce the attacker is on his back you can escape or follow up with whatever other self-defense moves are necessary to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/nbcv\/BFE\/bfe-k.php?utm_campaign=BFE&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=BillyNeckThrow_12-6-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">quickly end the fight<\/a>.\n<p id=\"read-more-link\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/nbcv\/QK-2\/ntbt-k.php?utm_campaign=QCKLS&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=BillyNeckThrow_12-6-12&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">Click here for more training by Billy Burke!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Simple Defense The &#8220;rag doll&#8221; grab is a very common fight move used by attackers who have blown their top.
