It is important to drive the arm straight up to the sky, practically flush to the ear when executing Elite Training Center’s Krav Maga “wave goodbye” choke release. As the arm shoots up, the opposite side foot should be stepping backwards. A simultaneous pivot on the front foot should occur, utilizing the lat to break the choke.
The above is just a small portion of a 12 step technique if broken down. Although some practicioners of Krav Maga will say that Krav Maga is a quickly learned self defense system, it still must be practiced as often as possible.
We have all heard “the devil is in the details.” In this case, the “devil” should be calculated and applied almost surgically. To not pay attention to any detail could be the make or break moment of losing in combat.
