HORIZONTAL CHOPS AND CRANE BEAKS IN SIDE ATTACKS

What would you do if an opponent locks your both hands and simultaneously chops at your neck?
After gripping or locking an opponent, you may execute a side attack using a horizontal chop or a crane beak. An effective counter against these attacks is a sideway or diagonal chop, striking the attacker's arm or wrist using the tactic of "no defence direct counter".
