Perhaps the funniest part of these videos is that the technical details are actually pretty good. But it’s the execution that will crack you up!

The rest of Jo Bonten’s instructional videos can be seen here.

Headlock on the Ground: Not Just for Untrained Meatheads

04.12.12 By Patrick 4 Comments

Bromance. Period.
When we introduce Defense against Headlock from the Side in Level 1, we explain that there is not an immediate life-threatening danger as there is with chokes. The headlock is not a choke; rather, the attacker’s goal may be to:

  1. Not actual mean you any physical harm but grab you like a childish idiot. (Boy will he be surprised when you rocket a forearm into his groin!)
  2. Hold your head in place so as to punch it.
  3. Hold your head in place so his buddy can punch it.
  4. Yank you down to the ground by your head.

Assuming you either don’t know the Level 5 Defense against Headlock from the Side: Being Spun Inward or weren’t able to pull it off, it’s Attacker Goal #4 that leads to our Level 3 headlock on the ground defenses. These defenses address the basic position and the minor variations of it.
