Clockwise from top left: P.J. Dixon defends himself against a "front strangler" attack from the much larger, stronger David Fry. By turning his head and shoulders, he escapes Fry's grip, then moves his wheelchair forward and catches the attacker's leg, while immobilizing his arm with his chin movement. Dixon finishes the technique by hitting Fry's kidneys with the hard part of skull.
