Defense from Double Collar Grab

Attacker proceeds to grab defender with both hands.

Defender weaves his right arm above attacker's left elbow, applies pressure downwards towards the center-line and grabs (with a cupped hand) attacker's right elbow from below.

Detailed picture shows placement of defenders hand, bending downwards the attackers left arm and straightens the right by cupping under the elbow.

This movement unbalances and opens the attacker for a strike on the mid-section. Due to the broken balance, upon impact of the strike the attacker will fall a few meters away from the defender. Giving the defender time to move away from the premise as quickly as he can.
