Escaping a two-handed throat grab with a wide grip is accomplished by which move?

• A. The Duck Out
• B. The Weave Under
• C. Standing Arm Bar
• D. The Weave

Answer: (A)

Escaping a wide two-handed throat grab relies on getting under and out of the grip quickly by dropping your level and moving laterally to create space. The Duck Out does exactly this: you lower your stance, rotate your hips to move off the line of the grab, and slide your head and shoulders under the attacker’s arms while you shift out of the grip, allowing you to break free and exit to safety. This is why it’s the best fit for a double-handed choke—the motion targets the grip itself and opens a clear escape path faster than techniques that focus on weaving under the arms or controlling the arm. The Weave Under can be harder to pull off when both hands are on your neck, the Standing Arm Bar isn’t designed to release a choke but to control an arm, and The Weave doesn’t specifically address slipping out from a double grip.
