If someone’s got their hands around your throat with serious intent your defence needs to be infallible. This means good physics, broad strokes and easy to remember techniques that work under pressure from multiple positions and opponents of different size and strength.
This is Rick Spain’s pet peeves on neck attack defence techniques.
Enjoy.
This week it’s all neck attacks! Attacking the neck is a very important skill to understand and integrate into your standup game, your clinch game and your grappling game.
This week Sifu Rick Spain Calls Bullshit on martial arts instructors who don’t go to the ground because “we’re a stand up system” or “we can’t be taken down” and who don’t spar because their system is too deadly or interestingly… sparring isn’t realistic. Well unless you’re an idiot going out picking street fights, it’s the closest most people are going to get!
Enjoy.

Send through a grading request via the Grading Portal. No payment required at that stage. Include a link to video footage (keep it under 5 mins) giving us an overview/highlights of you training – showing what you’re confident with and what you’re struggling with.

In case you missed it on YouTube, Sifu’s mat chat to all on the importance of “mat culture” in martial arts. Strong healthy values breeds a healthy training environment. If you’re training with friends in your garage or in a full-time school be mindful of the culture you’re creating or embracing.
