In this video, we demonstrate a Krav Maga approach to dealing with a front choke in a law-enforcement context, particularly when the officer is carrying a handgun.For an armed officer, a physical assault creates an additional concern: weapon retention. The officer must protect themselves while preventing the attacker from gaining access to the firearm.The demonstration focuses on breaking the immediate threat, maintaining control of the situation, protecting the officer’s weapon, and creating an opportunity to control or disengage from the attacker.The appropriate use of force—including whether and when a firearm may be drawn—depends on the circumstances and applicable law, agency policy, and the level of threat. A choke does not automatically justify drawing or using a firearm in every situation.The objective of law-enforcement Krav Maga is not simply to defeat an attacker, but to stop the threat, maintain control, and transition to the appropriate law-enforcement response.<div data-youtube-video="" style="display: flex; justify-content: flex-start;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jUPK0Y3x950" start="0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" style="max-width: 100%; text-align: left;"></iframe></div>
