Which description matches the hip drill retreat where the subject chokes the officer with two hands?

• A. The subject is on his knees beside and choking the officer with two hands.
• B. The officer is on his back after being tackled to the ground and the subject punches at the officer's head from between the officer's legs.
• C. The subject is lying across the officer side holding the officer down on the ground.
• D. The subject has attacked the officer with a rear bear hug over one or both arms.

Answer: (A)

In this hip drill retreat, the emphasis is on retreating while maintaining control with a two-handed choke from a side position. Being on his knees beside the officer allows the subject to stay at a lower height, keep a firm two-handed grip around the officer’s neck, and create space to move away. This description matches the drill’s pattern of applying a secure choke from the side while stepping back, rather than mounting, punching, or holding the officer in a different orientation. The other scenarios depict actions like punching from between the legs, lying across and pinning, or a rear bear hug, which do not align with the two-handed choke during a retreat.
