Self-Defense Technique of the Week - How to Escape a Full Nelson

Over the past couple of months, we began releasing self-defense technique videos on a weekly basis. During that time, we've had several requests by our readers to teach a technique showing how to escape from a Full Nelson. Full Nelson's are a popular street fighting move because so many people grow up learning the technique in high school wrestling.

One of our favorite instructors, Shihan Albert Fabian, a 7th degree black belt in Aiki-Jujitsu from the Phoenix area, invited us to his home dojo to demonstrate how to easily escape a full nelson. Please be careful when practicing this technique so as not to injure your partner.
