How do you break out of the wire choke hold?

[Syringer]

Of every action movie I've ever seen and every move I've ever seen in one--it seems like there's always a counter to every move that can be put on you, e.g. dodging multiple bullets that's coming straight at you.

However I've never seen anyone be put into the choke hold where a guy has a wire, sneaks up behind another guy, chokes him out with it, and within 30 seconds he's dead. Doesn't seem to be anyway to get out of it since the guy will generally have a tight enough hold on it that it'd be unbreakable.

Are there any hax to counter?

Heavy duty wire cutters.

Start fondling the guys balls. He will get so weirded out by the situation that he will let go of you. Worked for me.

Except there was no guy with a wire at your neck.

Change into a spider?

I think I've seen some movies where the guy getting choked gets his thumbs under the wire and counters it.

you bend over and flip him over your head.

If you can get one of his arms free, via whatever method, you can survive. However, if he wanted to be really nasty, he'd use a large reinforced zip tie. Get it around your neck, give it a quick yank to tighten up and you're hosed.

1. Draw gun and shoot attacker repeated in the face.
2. Remove garrote and catch breath.
3. Make lame joke about bringing garrote to a gun fight.

My "Book of Survival" says you use both thumbs and push away on each side of your neck.

The problem is, if he has handles on the wire, it'll cut though about anything---not pretty.

Reach back with your hands and gouge his eyes out with your thumbs.

this seems to be the best chance you've got. of course, he could start biting your thumbs

I'd say if they actually get it around your neck at all you're done for. Best bet would be to see it coming and get a forearm between the wire and your neck. Lacking that the only way would be to reach around the back of your head and try to work his grip on the wire loose I guess. Pretty difficult when he's probably got the wire wrapped around both hands and you're about to black out any second.

No the wire was real, the camera taping me tipped me off to the fact that it might all be acting though.

Yeah you only have maybe 25-30 seconds to figure something out..usually it's a sneak up method, rather than a method used in a 1 on 1 attack so you'd have to be prepared beforehand.

Wear a layer of flesh colored plastic coated metal around your neck that goes from your collar bone to the bottom of your chin.
Either that or back up really fast and try to get them to either trip or slam into a wall

With a thicker wire this is fine. With piano wire the first 1/4" of travel will cut both of your jugular veins, even if you have a chance to gouge out both his eyes you'll be loosing consciousness shortly. He can feel around, find you, and complete decapitating you.

Try not to let an assailant get within inches of your back, unnoticed.

Most people wouldn't think of using a garrote because it leaves an assailant very vulnerable with both hands occupied and the weapon that can only be used if both victim and assailant are in exactly the position needed.

I think you're actually pretty fucked if you don't get your wrist under there. The only movie I've seen where they survived this was History of Violence, and he managed to cram a hand under there before he got it pulled tight, it bought him enough room to fight the guy off. I recall the bad guy remarking to the dead henchmen "How did you fuck that up?" before shooting his corpse again to hammer the point home that it should have been a slam dunk.

reach over your shoulders and put as much pressure as possible on the choker's eyeballs. They WILL let go.
