How to Handle Rear Naked Chokes by Dean Lister

Overview

Dean Lister demonstrates self-defense escapes for rear naked chokes in street scenarios. He covers three progressive entries: early wrist/thumb control with a shoulder tilt, reacting to a pull-down by circling the attacker's lead leg, and countering a locked-in choke by striking the eyes or jumping to force a release. The focus is on survival mechanics rather than sport grappling.
