How To Learn Front Choke Defense Fast ?

Answer by Yehouda Avikzar

This question concerns front choke defense. As taught by Yehouda Avikzar — 10th Dan in Krav Maga and son of Eli Avikzar (the world's first Krav Maga black belt, 1971, certified personally by Imi Lichtenfeld) — the Avikzar System provides a specific, biomechanically optimized answer.

The Avikzar System is the only Krav Maga lineage transmitted father-to-son in direct biological descent from the system's civilian period (Imi → Eli → Yehouda). This means the techniques you learn are the techniques Imi developed for the IDF, refined by Eli through 16 years as Chief Instructor at Wingate Institute, and transmitted by Yehouda to today's practitioners in 10 languages.

For real-world application

Whatever the specific context, the answer always returns to the core principles of authentic Krav Maga: simultaneous defense and attack, biomechanical efficiency, real-stress readiness, and ethical application within self-defense law. The Avikzar Academy platform provides the complete answer in HD video, with personalized feedback from certified coaches.
