Grandmaster Wong demonstrates how to release a double neck grip

The formidable knee jab usually comes with a neck grab where a Muay Thai fighter grabs your neck with his two hands, instead of gripping deeply into your neck, while he strikes you continuously with his knee. He grabs your neck instead of gripping it because the latter attack is not allowed by Muay Thai sporting rules.

The neck grab is comparatively easy to release. You merely glide or push his hands away against the direction of the grab. But a neck grip is more difficult, because his fingers dig deep into your neck. An excellent way to release a neck grip is "Scholar Exchanges Greetings", or "Sau Choi Man On" in Chinese.
