What technique is used to escape a two-handed wrist grab?

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

Answer: (D)

Escaping a two-handed wrist grab comes down to creating immediate space and breaking the grip with a quick, efficient release. Peel Away does this by rotating the wrists outward and peeling the fingers apart, often while stepping offline to break the line of the grab. This approach uses the grip’s leverage against itself, freeing your hand with a short, decisive motion so you can protect yourself and move to safety or counter. The other techniques may involve moving off the line or slipping under, or applying a separate control, but they don’t disrupt a firm two-handed grip as reliably as a clean peeling release, making Peel Away the most direct and effective choice in this scenario.
