Key steps

  1. Grab the wrist of the arm around your neck with both hands.
  2. Keep your elbows tight so they can't thread an arm-in choke.
  3. Post on your feet and lift your head as you square your hips under you.
  4. Circle out to their side to free your head.

Key details

  • A loose elbow lets them thread a D'Arce or anaconda.
  • Free your head before you try to stand all the way up.
