Key steps

  1. Protect your neck with both hands on their choking arm.
  2. Turn your hips toward the side where their locking foot is.
  3. Bring your leg over their upper foot and use its weight to force the ankles apart.
  4. Trap the freed leg and finish the back escape once the lock opens.

Key details

  • Keep the hand fight going; they'll attack the neck while you work on the legs.
  • Break the lock with your legs and body weight, not by pulling their legs apart.
