that what happens when u mess with lieutenant colonel frank slade :D

[@clatenbaugh]

Thinking about that scene is what brought me here. Great film!

[@miker5734]

I had to do this once in the military. It was back at the end of the 1970s, and un fortunately it was a friend. I was on duty at a base in the states, when a friend came running up to me and said he wanted to see my rifle, and grabbed for it at the same time. I was never shown this move, or trained in it, but my hand instinctively went up and grabbed his trachea, while I turned and my other hand secured my weapon. When I backed him against the wall he let go of my rifle, and I released him.

[@christhetrianglechok]

no you didn't

[@davewolf5469]

Dimitri: "How did I ever get talked into doing this?"

[@2fast2block]

In my younger days that move saved me a decent amount of times with guys bigger than me.

[@malingehring165]

"It has never failed me...." Sounds like he is really talking from experience..

[@mrniceguy7167]

He literally said that he was talking from experience.

[@JimBowCr]

I can vouch for the effectiveness of this move. Unfortunately I had to use this manoeuvre after being nearly knocked out cold from a king hit. After nearly being knocked unconscious, this was my only available option, and I am surprised to this day about how easy and effective it was.

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm9378]

JimBowCr yeah I actually found this video because I used it in a fight and thought somebody else HAD to have done this before. The arm raise is a good idea.

[@christhetrianglechok]

yea you never did this.

[@FightFast]

@rshadoe give this a try and you'll discover that the combination of having one arm wrapped and your grasp firmly on their trachea, you will have their undivided attention and complete cooperation. It's a highly vulnerable and painful hold. Be careful, very careful, in practicing this. Perhaps have someone else put you in the hold and feel for yourself why you will not be attempting anything with the off hand.

[@nickv8728]

This is always gonna be a kill without cooperation, squirming means your applied pressure receives motion... A good warning sign that your In the sweet spot is the squeel, it's involuntary and not the same as a verbal pain response and it tells you not to add more pressure. Not uncommon for them to void their bowels or urinate, often they will drift in and out

[@williamsmith8790]

Used this quite a bit when I was working in the clubs.

[@colstash7153]

Excellent technique, practical hold - cheers

[@rexostallone652]

Right on Scotty

[@chuckp4710]

THANK YOU---EXCELLENT VIDEO.

[@gangstalkingtv]

You can also transition with this choke from being standing to going on the ground and heel sweeping them.

[@JasonNida]

I tell people all the time "There is no animal on earth that, when you attack their throat, don't immediately stop whatever they were doing to focus on their throat"..

[@PhaseDragonia]

+Jason Nida Ikr? The neck is an underrated target.

[@kreamysoaps]

Alejandro P tragic!

[@in_vas_por8810]

@Alejandro P I agree. You never know what a cornered animal(or human) will do. This might be an effective move, but this could really escalate the situation if the person feels like their life is in danger.

[@sqnhunter]

A trained combatant! If you have one arm locking his right arm....and one arm utilizing your hand to grab his throat, then the odds are that if he is trained as you are...your trachia is in a hold also. He wont stop to worry about his throat immediately...he will worry about his throat only as you battle the wills and both start really applying pressure. You will have one of two endings...either one of you will pass out first, or one of you will die. . Sadly...If it ever came to me having to grab a man by the trachia....I would preferably grab and rip his larynx out first to minimize him reacting back on me. These kind of moves as a nightclub bouncer is serious shit. Very easy to make a mistake.

[@dawonplace]

Good video. Thank you. God bless 🙏

[@ottrluvr2908]

I love these self-defense videos in which the "attacker" just stands there, without attempting to fight back!

[@Coldwater_Slongwood]

Training purposes best case scenario

[@MrWayne1701]

I feel like the poster should've mentioned that the trachea is very easy to crush, and this move can kill someone if you're not careful.

[@andrewrhodes8842]

@Alejandro P Yeah...Okay.

[@regcatdog]

@Alejandro P no

[@alexarul3124]

@Alejandro P the LOLs and the LMAO and "Believe me" totally sold me that you know what you're talking about.

[@dwmaddawgs]

@JT absolutely is, very easily

[@ptronic]

Probably wouldn't work against a trained fighter otherwise seems quite effective

[@straightblast1]

Might want to check with your local attorney on levels of force and definition of assault before putting this little gem to use.

[@zerocool1ist]

Goes for the Trachea Hold then someone dislocates his knee. Oops!

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm9378]

I used this in an actual fist fight, unfortunately my opponent struggled and I yanked. Fight was over but I got beat up prettty bad.

[@timsofamous228]

So do the person you fight pass out quickly

[@Alburr250]

Did the opponent pass out or cough?

[@filmdude9970]

[@neziarushani5959]

What dvd is this from?

[@uski59]

👍👍works every time for me👍👍

[@cocaine_hookers]

Get inside the trachea first the left arm will automatically rise up so you can get leverage under the arm pits worry about that step last. He’s applying the Ranger Choke hold.

[@timsofamous228]

Can the person you. Did this on Will die cause thay Can’t breath

[@mikemandel5775]

Bro, you are so right on with this. I used it only once on someone who was pushing my buttons. End of story.

[@rodgerhempfing2921]

Need excellent grip strength or hand will be knocked away. It can also cause fainting, so be prepared for that.

[@rogergsmithjr]

impressive

[@variousgames157]

the good old RANDY certainly knows how it feels :D

[@artistaprimus7080]

Used that one before. One thing all people have in common is the need to breathe. Bad men become wimps once they cant breathe.

[@mikedasilva5239]

Will this work against someone with strong neck muscles?

[@rodgerhempfing2921]

Yes, because the fingers are on the inside of the neck muscles, wrapped around the wind pipe.

[@Retro9of9]

My go too, instinctively I do this when threatened before I even punch, and every time the guy froze stiff, and I did it only on the throat, they never punched or anything, kinda like when you scare a goat an they fall over

[@larrytyson9104]

Good move

[@MP-tf7cc]

The ranger chokehold - hoo-ahh !

[@mattwilliam4803]

-thanks.

[@waynefaust9607]

Yes this move is effective, but it has to be done fast!

[@lmhuebel1]

Would a short woman be able to use that lifting arm skill? Usually men are taller than women. If not, what would be an alternative move for that one. I like the idea of the trachia hold, but the arm move concerns me.

[@attatae]

Lynda Huebel No, because you need to have it up to the guys armpit, or else he can wriggle free. Not sure a girl's hands (untrained) will be strong enough either to crush or control trachea. Esp with long, possibly unreal nails. Alternatives depend. I'm guessing you're not a bouncer? Maybe a claw to eyes, then swift groin kick.

[@MaxLohMusic]

+Lynda Huebel You have a good eye/intuition to notice that indeed this move is less effective against tall people. But this technique isn't even suitable for "self-defense" anyway -- it's a bouncer's technique to control someone who's not committed to fight back. Just try holding onto your traechea like this while lowering your chin all the way down and backing up; it's impossible

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm9378]

Lynda Huebel the lifting of the arm is unnecessary as long as you squeeze the trachea firmly, but not TOO hard, it’s very easy to accidentally kill someone with too much pressure. Hard firm static pressure is good.

[@sqnhunter]

I would forget confronting the man unless cornered, sis. Then this would be last resort. Car key to eyes, nails across eyes, knee to groin, heel hard down on top of foot....and plenty leg room to run to nearest lit area. If you live in america.... carry! These moves are for big men with a purpose.

[@Rex_Thegentleman]

When i try this to my self i cough and it feels like ima vomit

[@miguelrobb5719]

Can’t the victim of this move just forcefully move his head downwards and it would reduced the grip strength the user?

[@tuivaeau]

Wedge underside of hand into neck to stop that

[@evocatimedia]

Jackie Chan and Don Cheadle did this in Rush Hour 3.

[@dwmaddawgs]

Grabbing the face and hitting the v in the clavicle will drop any man instantly. They will choke for five minutes uncontrollably to the point they fall to the ground in agony.

[@lucasthompson1650]

@rshadoe The other arm is almost useless as soon as you lift, no leverage at all, and it is difficult to get a big breath of air for a strong strike. Evaluating a situation to decide how to handle it is as important as the learning the techniques themselves. "what if.."'s aren't really a good way to judge any one particular move. That said, "what if" scenarios are a good thing to ask of teachers and trainers in order to get that knowledge and better insights into how to evaluate an opponent.

[@warriorsaints100]

great move ! but it's only useful in life threatenting situations !

[@nathanc30]

Oh yeah and be huge

[@osamahalbasry6959]

wow

[@brendensingh3676]

I done this a couple times in street fingers. Grab the windpipe more-so than the wider part of the neck and squeeze. Then get them off balance. Freaks people the fuck out. Dunno why I always do it but it works.

[@robertrixey8447]

😊👍🏾

[@jackjax7921]

You should have said "Hoo hah"

[@charlesmyrick8734]

there are more then one way to brake that hold so I would surjest that you cover that as well but the easiest way is to just drop go limp and as LATORR said look down will going limp and you are free then just side step and kick the side of the knee and he goes down then as I have done a lot while living in Highland park CA just leave.

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm9378]

Charles Myrick I’ve used a trachea hold before, people always try to break it so now I immediately yank them towards me and strike the floating ribs (around the liver) your body is in enough physical shock and instinctive drive to not think clearly. Remember when your throat is being attacked you respond with instincts or whatever training you have so unless you’ve trained to counter this hold, the attacker has ALL the control.

[@paulog9109]

100%

[@rafaelc9299]

Isn’t this what Haku use to do

[@mrblaque215]

Definitely a great self defense grappling technique and very versatile. The move is even more painful if you use the underhooking arm to grab the choking hand's wrist, as it incorporates an armbar in with the choke.

[@cwa2938]

Though, this is a good way to get you eyes gouged out…I’d be grabbing for brain matter at this point if anyone ever did this too me

[@jasonrudolph491]

When this is applied correctly the persons center is up and one arm is restrained. Their attention is on their airway and the pain. Further- if they attempt to use their free arm (which is highly doubtful) you just squeeze a little harder and they will forget that idea- really. 😎

[@macluca1]

That would just piss me the fuck off

[@MrWayne1701]

+m1 So, if you push the situation, you can die angry...Dudes got you by the throat, nothing is what you'll do.

[@claytonalexander7358]

this move can get you a one way ticket to prison in many states unless you can prove a legitimate fear for your life and or others safety but it does work in most cases

[@queunlimited4779]

Looks and smells like a common criminal to me. No sign of feeling or heart in his eyes. What happens to a person to get that or even want to be a bodyguard or bouncer? What a aweful job choice. Rather keep my soul, thank you very much.

[@rodelcastro1537]

The safest self defense Run 🏃 because after you doing this you’re go to jail.. lol

[@zioncommand]

Not necessarily.

[@scorpius319]

STUPID move. The opponent's legs aren't covered and an easy knee the the stomach or groin, the choke hold is lost.

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm9378]

scorpius319 nope, I’ve actually used this in a fight and all I needed to do to make the struggling stop was squeeze very hard but safely with my entire hand. If he had struggled or fought back I would’ve just crushed his trachea, once this hold gets on, it probably not leaving.

[@user-sg2yt6nc1z]

Drunk guy in a club going to be too drunk to lift his legs

[@blazerman61]

anyone with any knowledge is out of this in 2 moves. ....

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm9378]

blazer55 I’ve used it on 3 people in real fights and they all struggle, but you would need some real size or skill to counter the incredible control of this trachea hold.

[@LAVATORR]

Actually, a guy tried that on me and I was like "Fucking seriously? You're telling me you're going \o singlehandedly crush my throat in front of dozens of witnesses because I wen\ into your shitty night club?" The defense to the trachae hold is to lower your chin, which most guys do out o# instinct anyway.

[@physcoticweirdo]

You can use this choke even if they lower their chin if you change it slightly. I've tested it and with a few tweaks it works regardless of the head position. Two fingers can easily slip into the gaps in the trachea even with the chin down.

[@LAVATORR]

physcoticweirdo But even then you're operating entirely off surprise, aim, and a willingness to instantly kill someone, because if you don't have all three, the guy can just freely whale on you with both his free hands.

[@sanctuaryism]

lol sounds like a violent club...
