If someone grabs you like that, aka, front bear hug, you can use your forearms to push against the attacker's throat. You can use your other hand to support it. As soon as the attacker grabs you, and he has not got too close to you, you can use this technique to defend yourself.

In this situation, you can use another technique to defend against the front bear hug. You can grab the attacker's face with chin and head, and turn it to the side. You have to use both hands to execute this technique. When you control his head, you can easily get rid of this grip.
