Subtitles: A common attack is to seize the victim by the throat. Grasp the assailant's wrist with one hand and force the elbow upward with the other. Then place your leg across your assailant and throw him forward. This requires very little force. The complete throw, note speed and dexterity are most important factors. To hold the assailant down, place your leg across the body, thus holding his free arm, and then bend his other arm over your knee. Another simple way of preventing this attack is to grasp wrist with both hands, pulling arm over shoulder. Throw body forward, twisting wrist at the same time. When attacked from behind, grip assailant's elbows, forcing one up and other down, and throw body forward with a side twist. A striking example of the value of such knowledge.
