Escaping over-the-shoulder carry (OTS carry) <br /> <br />Not the most common situation, but this is a video response to a question I was asked. <br /> <br />As usually, it is better to avoid trouble in the first place. If not possible, try to resolve the situation as early as possible (i.e. before being lifted on the shoulder). <br /> <br />We tried and pressure-tested different things but this one (face-bar + neck crank) was the solution that yielded the best results. <br /> <br />One of the main risk in this situation is to be slammed onto the floor. Having a good control over the head and neck as shown in this video will prevent this. <br /> <br />Get your feet back on the ground ASAP. <br /> <br />#self-defence #krav-maga #martial-arts
