Sometimes larger attackers decide that the easiest way to get what they want is to pick you up and throw you.\n\nThis technique is usually used by big guys who are unskilled and rely on their large stature to push people around. In this video clip Tom Proctor shows you a simple and highly effective self defense technique that can save your skin if you are ever threatened by an over-sized attacker why tried to throw you around with a two handed grab.<!--more-->\n<div class=\"flex-video\">\n<iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BQFsn_vg_eI?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\nAs you can see in the video above the key to this technique is not allowing the attacker to stay in a strong position. By trapping his hand and bending over you are taking him off balance. Once he is off balance his size and weight advantage is lost.\n<div style=\"max-width: 472px; height: auto;  padding: 5px; float: right; \"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2422\" src=\"http:\/\/fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/twoHandedGrabDefense.png\" alt=\"By performing a simple joint lock the larger opponent is thrown off balance and loses his advantage from the initial two handed grab\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nThis technique is more that a simple joint lock. Using joint locks alone is always risky in a street fight. For that reason Tom has included high value strikes to soften up and distract the bigger man while you gain the upper hand. When you trap his hands with one of your hand you open him up for punishing strikes to his unprotected face. Use the rotational force from your legs and hips to deliver a hook to his jaw line. Be explosive, this also help to get him moving off balance in the direction your are trying to take him with the joint lock.\n\nAs Tom shows in the video once you have him off balance and tied up you can either take him to the ground or deliver a few quick and powerful elbow strikes to the face and get to safety.\n\nFor more simple solutions to common street attacks check out <a href=\"https:\/\/fightfast.com\/trs\/CF-k.php\">Tom Proctors Cage Fighter package<\/a>.\n\nFor a safer life,\nBob Pierce\nPresident FightFast.com \/ Threat Response Solutions","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now you should know that most of the time you are going to be attacked by someone larger or stronger than you.
