How to Get Out of a Headlock

So does getting naked

[@jesusadame6403]

Prolly not if you're a girl!

[@pepperspraylaugh5259]

Know what's funny I did that the this vid came out and I knocked him out by ticking him and then fighting dirty

[@sanderbakker1657]

Theresa Chandler he is not making these video's so you can knock somebody out. only if your life is at danger and i don't get the feeling that that was the case with you

[@Martial-Mat]

sander bakker So if his life is in danger you're saying he _shouldn't_ knock the attacker out?

[@BobbyMucka]

I was in a headlock like this once, I did the grab low part but instead of around his side, I grabbed in between his legs. My forearms crushed his balls because he was about 150lbs, so he had about that pressure on his groin. I then gave him a few shrugs like that and proceeded to throw him on the ground. He thought it was the most painful thing ever.

[@fighttips]

Bobby Mucka Nice!

[@fighttips]

Bobby Mucka Nice!

[@BobbyMucka]

Well, he yelled a little bit. He hasn't mentioned anything about lower sex drive so I think he's good haha.

[@BobbyMucka]

Well I made sure I didn't seriously injure him so its all good. After all I outweigh the guy by about 40lbs

[@Infinitegamer45]

Bobby Mucka lol man nice, if i get in a fight im gonna do that.

[@Kentama]

I knew this was legit advice when one of the first tips is to fight dirty.

[@JackDaniels-we9pb]

I actually got out from a headlock from behind once. It all started one day when I was at my neighbors house in their old shed (the one that we no longer go into) and I picked up a pack of Marlboro Greens that was sitting on the table in the shed and I asked them for one. The next thing I knew, both Jesse and Jordan (the two neighbors that tried to jump me) came marching into the shed and one of them (Jesse) had me in a headlock from behind in where it looked kinda like a rear naked choke, but it wasn't because it wasn't choking me, while Jordan tried to snatch the pack out of my hand. He directed me toward the right where Jordan was at as he was trying to snatch it from me (the pack was originally mine, but I had given it to them) I held on to the pack, and eventually Jordan managed to get two out of the pack and once he got them out, he thought that that was all, so he then moved toward the open shed door and put his body in the way of it to block me in. Then Jesse shifted me toward a lawn chair in the shed, which originally belonged to me also, but under the approval of my grandmother we moved two or three of the lawn chairs out of the car port at my house over to theirs. Then I placed a foot against the chair and pushed back, trying to push Jesse back against the storage chest that was behind us, but he managed to shift me to the side and then shift me back to where I was facing the chair, so I did the same thing and Jesse shifted me to the side (the right to be exact) and then turned me around to where I was facing Jordan. Then I instantly dropped out of his grip and then slipped right through Jordan who was blocking the door and then me and Jordan cut across their yard. At some point during the chase, I was running toward a car trailer cage that was outside in their backyard, and I quickly jumped to the side and continued running toward my house, while Jordan was running so fast that he didn't have enough time to turn, so he crashed shoulder first into the trailer. I heard the loud bang of him crashing into the trailer as I made it onto my yard, and once I heard it, I laughed at his ass OUT LOUD. Then as he got back up, him and Jesse followed me onto my yard and asked for the pack. I showed them the inside of the pack, and they saw nothing inside of it, so they left back onto their property. I then looked at the pack and saw nothing in it at first as well, so I just threw it onto the car port table. Later I came back and looked through it again, this time finding a broken cigarette that was left inside it after I had crushed the pack by accident as Jordan tried to snatch it from me, so I mickey moused it, lit it, smoked it and played basketball. My idiot neighbors nextdoor saw me smoking it as they returned onto the property line, so Jesse challenged me to a fight in the middle of the dirt road and Jordan claimed to be the ref. So we walked down by the property line and got onto the dirt road, but Jordan then told us it would've been a bad idea for us to fight in the middle of the road, because we'd get caught, so we moved it back onto Jesse's property, and onto "the circle," which is a round space of sand in their backyard that we usually go to to fight/wrestle. Jesse then started talking a bunch of shit, and I talked some back. Jesse tried to firefly me sometime during the verbal dispute, and if you're not a complete douche and don't know what a "firefly" is, it's basically whenever you chuck a lit cigarette at somebody. He tried to do it but missed me (like a faggot). Eventually Jordan told me to push him, so I came up to him and shoved him with my left and punched him straight in the mouth with my right. Jesse managed to land a hit on my left eye/temple, but it didn't hurt or leave a mark. Basically, he didn't do shit. Some time during the verbal altercation, he told me the next time I come on to his property, he's gonna tell his dad to shoot my ass. So once I got back inside at my house I told my grandfather that the next time he sees Jesse and/or Jordan on our property to shoot their asses. I told them everything about what happened and everybody got pissed at them. Some time later when my grandmother went outside to smoke, Jordan came back over and told my grandmother that I had crushed the pack on purpose. Then my grandmother got mad at me, because she's also a crackhead about cigarettes as well. I got pissed off, but didn't go back over there for the rest of the weekend. So basically that's my story, I would much appreciate it if you guys would feel free to share your stories as well.

Brilliant video - Once in school a guy had someone in a headlock in a small hallway. The guy in the headlock kicked off the wall sending the headlocking guys head into the opposite wall, worked great :)

Thank you Shane,we're doing similiar things but it always good to learn more. Best regards!

[@jackdonnelly9885]

I am involved in karate i am a brown belt 2 tabs and we get taught that if your in a headlock position you put your closest arm to to the attacker up and behind him and put your hand on his mouth and put your leg behind pullback and he trips up over your leg or use your far away hand hit him in the solar plexus which if you hit directly into it winds you and you cannot breathe.

[@kimaegaii]

I've always been afraid to slam them when they have me in a head lock, feel like my necks gonna get broken. but maybe their grip would loosen because they want to break their fall?

[@zk_2793]

+kimaegaii Only if their insanely strong.

[@Lord_of_the_Pies]

if they don't loosen their grip I think their elbow would impact the ground

Im an amatuer boxer out of atlanta. It was a huge confidence booster for me as a young man. But to always make sure you when a street fight??? (all legal precedents aside) strike first. As hard and as fast as possible. And mix it up to the body

[@abhijitmishra5243]

[@didntknoicouldchangethis]

Very useful videos! My daughter has off from school today, and we're gonna practice some self defense moves...I'm gonna remember your phrase, "nobody has stronger eyes"...I like that one! 👍

i learnt to do a takedown while in a headlock

[@bossdelgado6835]

So im laying down in bed on my phone. My only goal tonight was to not break an all nighter. Now i find your channel and watch a good 5 hours worth of videos and i dont regret anything. Thank you

[@soumyaraj4042]

what if the opponent is bigger than me

[@ilanzatonski8826]

Taller*

[@soumyaraj4042]

+Я Ilan Zatonski yeah i meant taller and much more heavier than me...then??

[@MarijuanaGuy]

It doesn't matter if he's bigger than you. Just grab around his waist with a gable grip and pull him in a direction.

[@MrStrongBro]

Go watch the Gracie's teach "how to escape a headlock." Jiu Jitsu is all about being able to beat bigger and stronger opponents. There are many easier ways than this without getting punched too.

[@TheRedFoxization]

It doesn't take a lot of strenght to lift him up if he gets you in a headlock

[@RKalnins17]

It works if person who's holding your head isn't trained.. Men with just a little experience will get u on the ground very quick if u let him get your head like this.. U cant really move your body without moving your head in grappling. If he gets your head through the armpit, like if he gets our head AND your arm together, be ready to fall.

[@thanya120]

i just pick em up and slam but i dont know if u can do it if ur not as strong or if they are really havy

[@kaitsith3081]

Get your hips under and squat them. (stand up) Keep back straight, do front squats with barbell. (better for this than rear barbell squats) Deadlifts are good too. Then they will most likely be strong enough.

[@thanya120]

Peter Smith and remember when u squat go fucking ass to grass dont be abitch

[@ApricotData474]

Exactly

[@5kwithoutanyvideos173]

This can help in a fight where they don't put you in a headlock intentionally, force yourself under their arms and do these steps it's very helpful

[@justindahl5045]

first you spilt his coke after you beat him up and leave. Good work teaching the kids how to fight xD

[@BaxzXD]

It's funny how people in my school think they're good fighters. They literally just hold on to each other and waste their energy with random punches.

[@justindahl5045]

HAHA xD

[@tkthrowback2345]

Had a new kid at our gym show up and grapple with an older guy but his size, he grabbed him like this and we told him to let go. The kid was kind of in a panic mode and didn’t want to let go of what he thought was an advantage. Older dude put the seat belt on him and sent him to space lol.

[@BigRightHands]

Could have used this in the 6th grade.

[@stephenmartin7227]

When you showed the position where you cable griped round the waist you are still vulnerable in that position to get punched. What you need to do in that side headlock position is to grab is arm as you lift, this protects you from getting punched while you take him to the ground.

[@ranloop]

Today I got bullied and I got in a head lock then I had my upper arm out and free so I get to hit his head and I got out

[@jacecobert9445]

"No one has strong eyes" a very good tip in a street fight if you ask me. Attacking eyes isn't cheap in a STREET FIGHT. Especially in self defense ...

[@windex6742]

in school when I try ti pick them up from one leg every one starts screaming out gay

[@alexmartinez4034]

Yea I hate that shit, especially when I would go behind the person and lift them up. It really pissed me off.

[@windex6742]

and then evey one starts joining in

[@jozzerful2]

In the video you've just seen where, the guy explains how to get out of a headlock, you do not have to take punches in to the face what you do is , when your arms wrapped around him grab his elbow Godin strong restricting movement in his arm, while you are getting your footing, his mind will go straight to the fact hey I can't punch this guy, that happens after about 3 seconds for seconds then real quick do the pull over manoeuvre, shown in the video where you put your hand up over the top and reach under his chin pulling him back, and pushing him against your left knee to help him fall easier on his way to the ground, but I just thought I would mention, you don't have to take a load of punches in the face before you get to do it also gives you time to assess the guys strength level, and help you make decisions .

[@papichapo4939]

Shit...i wish i knew this in middle school. Bullies sucked XD

[@oliverthomas3677]

You can also put your left hand on his shoulder and grab his hand with your right (this has to be done while standing up). Then you just simply twist his arm, and you got yourself an armlock. I've used this when fighting my friends, its also more under control, so that you don't hurt them :-). (you could break their arm or shoulder, or even throw some knee kicks at them, if it is a real attacker)

[@NymeriaMeliae]

that's a poor headlock... back in my school days (long time ago) a headlock brought your opponent to their knees... 9/10 times the headlock was taken from behind both feet off the ground kicking backwards into your foes stomach and bringing them down in the headlock. Secondly, the neck was much more in the crutch of the arm applying pressure to the throat... if your opponent wasn't turning a colour of red in the face then the headlock was not properly positioned. Finally, the headlock pushed the opponent more around your back than along side.

[@sebastianestrada4690]

check mma surge, they have a video on how to reverse or scape that tipe of hook, is pretty easy

[@metaphillips6798]

“Take it from behind”

[@lairdriver]

This is good advice. Bruce Lee was a huge advocate of groin strikes in street fights. Don't hold back. Whatever disables your opponent first. Ideally knocking somebody out in public now, it's better to just walk away. I had a friend who died after being sucker punched, his head hit the concrete and he died of swelling of the brain. I believe it was Bruce Lee that also said 'the best fight you will ever have is the one you don't have". These videos are smart practical tips. 99% of the time on the street you will face an untrained fighter. But most people are untrained. Simple self defense techniques can make the difference between you getting away without injury or being severely injured. As far as the law goes - you do what you can to disable your opponent, retreat and call the police or get away. If you ground and pound on someone for 7 minutes - you are going to go to jail. Best advice is to avoid fighting, swallow your pride and ego and walk away. Unless you have no choice, you are defending someone or a family member.

[@bonto42]

I would not want to put my fingers in someone's throat. They might bite my fingers off lol

[@icedragon3602]

Ya lol

[@LimmeLimbo]

I to, have a way in getting out of a headlock, but not only headlocks, also other things They really worked for me, seriously. Now look, It's a few steps: 1- When you're in the headlock You're left arm is free if he locks you on right side, you're right arm is free if he locks you on his left side. 2- The arm that's behind the opponent and give them a good shot behind the knee DIRECTLY behind the knee. Where it bends, aim there best way you can. 3-Hit it as hard as you can, but accurately. Or clip him with your hands, grab his feet or foot, and pull it back making him fall, causing him to let go to catch himself. While he's down, you got an advantage. I Hope this helped you guys. Thanks for reading. (What he said is similar, but Mines is SLIGHTLY different)

[@aquadragon1]

Depends someone with decent falling skills will not let go at alljust hold on and turn yor upperbody while going down and your escape attempt just made it worse. Not saying it is a bad ove or an inpossebility just lithging the drawbacks wich of course everything has. On the other hand someone with some skills prob wont attack like that and iff he would prob take you down in one motion

[@angelcarrasco1787]

when peaple get me in a headlock and i say let go or else

If that saved you.... You must be happy to be lucky...

[@alLEDP]

You are a good teacher hands down on that. I just want to mention that in your videos you often rely on strenght and fitness. Lifting sb up is an example for that. I just want to say that a 60 kilo guy shouldnt risk to go muscle on muscle with a 100 kilo beast you know? Just saying that. But keep going on with that stuff!

[@kierabandz5353]

oh no unless im about to die i dont have the guts to stick a finger in an eye :(

[@googane7755]

If they're a better fighter than you, they would probably kill you if you try that...

+Bold Erdene that's the the thing.. it ends fights

[@googane7755]

+Dubsy IF you try that.

[@theboxer5]

+Bold Erdene Then what do you do then to escape from headlock?

[@googane7755]

+NetRep There is actually multiple ways to escape a headlock if you search for it.

[@shademan6070]

couldnt have said it better myself ! pressure points are fun

[@CoelhoSports]

get serious. this opponent is applying the worst weakest headlock ever. not even untrained schoolyard quality. someone who digs in a real lock under your chin can choke you to death in under a minute, and he WILL choke you to death if try to punch his nuts or claw his face or pick him up. even if you somehow get that leg (again this fake opponent is passive, real opponent TIGHTENS the lock and kills you by accident) trying to pick the guy up who is locked under your chin and throw him is hillarious. headlocks are en emergency situation. you need to break the lock before doing anything else. you need to grab the locking arm with both hands and pull with all your strength and use your chin to dig under the lock just to get another breath, possibly get a forearm inside the lock to further block the choke under your chin, and get enough room to try one or two desperate moves. one would be to turn towards the opponent so his lock is now around the back of your head instead of under your chin and use your elbow against his face to pry yourself further back, breaking the lock. only THEN could you pull off a trip or throw or strike back. obviously you want to avoid getting choked in the first place at all costs so if you are going to strike the balls, gouge the eyes, etc, you don't want to be trying that shit AFTER a guy digs a lock under your chin. do it (and anything else you can do) to avoid the lock in the first place.

[@chiefsosa8450]

thanks for the tip

[@Shefy]

i dont know but my friend had a fight with another guy in my class that is much heavier and taller than him, so my friend was in a strong headlock but he managed to throw him over and bam he hit the ground, isnt that possible

[@jobo593]

coelho sports I m sorry for mine english. But it can be done like he says only I will hold his arm with wich he chokes me and mine other hand I put it over his head so I can grap his neck or nose or eye and then stand up. He will fall and yes you musn't wait with it cause you are right if stay to long in that position you will lose you breath and you go out. It s action reaction in a fight. The one who knows when what to do has the most chance. And nobody is Born Invincible.

[@zzz-lg9lf]

This guy called a girl "flat chested" and she picked him up and slammed him on the ground, she continued to throw her hands and damn, the guy left the school. And everyone gave her respect due to the fact she was x2 smaller than the guy.

[@Martial-Mat]

You're just gonna have to deal with getting punched in the face. What kind of advice is that? People can be so pained by a single punch in the face, that they can't even think straight to do the rest. Instead of grabbing them close with that left arm, protect your face with it!

[@ComptGeorges]

In the case like this. Just put your left arm in his face immediately and stay really close to him, before he hits you. And throw him to the ground. Train this a lot, and you'll be able to do it in seconds. Anyway, an attacker, if he is an average guy, will not produce enough force with his left arm to knock you out from this position, from this angle and closeness. And I say that from my experiance. He might hurt you but wtf, it's a fight. If you are too week to take that kind of left arm punch anyway, seriously your fist will not protect you... Best luck

[@EdilarinProducts]

you still have 1 hand free... protect with that one while either punching him in the groind with your other.. or try to take him to the ground like in this video... if you can get a good grip of his head... try to snap his neck, without killing him :p

[@fuzzyballs8726]

if youre in a fight your going to get it man u cant block or dodge every single thing like a kung fu master expect to get hit if youre gunna fight someone hes just explaining how to get out of a certain situation once it happens

[@OmgROFLtf2]

so what, its better then taking more punches repeatedly.

[@Martial-Mat]

fuzzyballs8726 No.he's making foolish assumptions. And he's offering relatively complicated escape to perform in a pressure situation.

[@BooLee01]

One thing you forgot to mention is that very tender spot right under the nose (Septal Cartilage). If you turn your finger into a mustache, right under the nose, and then put pressure upward, he will more than likely willingly fall backward right on his back because that shit hurts. You can test it out yourself. Put your finger right under your own nose and push upward. It will be painful but it is way more painful if it's being done by someone else. And if, as you described, you leave one of your legs behind his, it works all the better to drop him on his back.

[@SurveyofFilmMusic]

you're making many mistakes, AND taking blows to the face. Gracie combatives will correct all these errors you're making. Good dirty fighting stuff, but aside from that... loads of stuff yer missing!

[@SilentMover95]

If you have seem or were in any streetfight, the headlock will quickly turn into a throw as the guy put you forward. So, the first thing to do is to step forward and establish stability.

[@rockyl8035]

This is krav maga

[@wattlebough]

Rocky L Pretty close to Krav Maga. Just need to punch the throat after sticking the fingers in the eyes to get the head back.

[@ThePeriyarist]

The headlock if properly applied by a stronger guy is nearly impossible to break free.Not only, you are imbalanced and the spine is controlled by the opponent but the breathing gets stopped once the breathing stops there is not much you can do.There is a kung fu technique of suddenly pulling the other persons hair but that too can be overcome if the person twists his arm around the victim's neck.

[@MrKinggodzilla]

@Edge Snob I think the grounded side headlock you talk about is called the kesa gatame in judo.

[@RevJamesCostello]

A few months back I was grappling with a very fit young lad who was into MMA or whatever. He expected to beat me easily, but I simply looked for an opening, put him in a headlock, took him down quickly and that was it. Easy victory. In fact, it was so easy - beating him with ease 8 times in a row - that I began to wonder if he was letting me win and was it my turn to lose. ‘No, you’re a natural,’ he said. The final grappling match we had, he really did go for it, trying to trip me up with his various fancy moves, putting all of his strength in, and I just put him down with such force that I almost broke his ribs. He was left black and blue. I felt bad about that as he was a really nice chap. How do you explain this? Thanks.

[@woodzylad9571]

What I find that works is with your right hand drag his right leg forward if you need to take him to ground and keep doing quick punches (works well with bigger guys.)

[@TheOneAndOnlyJell_O]

I once was in a headlock where a guy came behind me and had an arm around my neck. The first thing i did was actually get him off the ground while he was holding on to me, jump back, and slam him into the ground, putting all my weight into him. I was pretty scrawny back then, and i was still able to get him out cold that way.

Dude I miss these kinds of videos keep up the good work.

[@Lymmar]

If you put a good Judoka in a headlock, you've already done half the work for him.

[@amartyapandit]

I miss old badass schoolguy shane

[@RecoveringGenius]

A million views and Shane is basically an unqualified white belt at any legit school.

[@GawakiOG]

This guy fought me at the ymca and it was self defense on my behalf, he was 6 foot and near 200 pounds and I'm 5'7 140. He got me in a headlock and I didn't know how to get out of it at the time and I ended up getting on top of him and striked his face and skull around 7 times to end the fight, wish I knew this technique before hand so he couldn't get me down to the ground

[@jonathans.219]

I have a friend who always puts me into headlocks for no reason at all. These are good tips. I won’t hurt em, just show him who’s boss

[@dangkoen]

An additional method is pulling his nearest leg off balance, by just grabbing that leg or the lower part of his trousers.

[@TonyStark-hx3xr]

theres a similar defence in krav maga... you pretty much do the same thing, but when you pull their face back you simultaneously groin strike and try to push on their pressure point right under nose. it works very well against bigger and taller opponents (i've used it myself)

[@OatZ]

I was playfighting at my school one time and we were doin little headlocks like these. I did what the video did but i added in something i thought would work, which it did. I wrapped my left arm (he was headlocking me with his right hand) around his waist, and with my dominant hand, punched his kneecap a few times, it disoriented their bottom leg and i was easily able to trip them over after exploiting that weakness.

[@TeamGamingoyvnor35]

My swimming trainer was a door man at a night club, and he thatched us randomly some tricks. And I thought it was cool so i searched it up, and the 1st one was exactly the same as he solved us. This is awesome :D

[@jakebastian6726]

I'm writing a story with a military battle. Includes a man holding two captives in a headlock--one in his left arm, the other in his right arm. If I post a couple quotes, can someone (preferably skilled/knowledgeable about a fighting style) take a look, to see if I'm describing it well and how the twosome escape? I could use some pointers. Thanks.

[@nmr20067]

I like these ways better than most common ones taught.

[@WulfProductionss]

Shane can you make video for defence againts someone with brass knuckles

[@mir6080]

thx dude! theres like 6 people on bikes trying to jump me there all bigger than me ima try watching all your vids and when they find me i hope these methods work! im praticeing with my sister

[@jimlucas0]

I was taught by a friend of mine: push the pressure point under the ear and then a Kani Basami (flying scissor)

[@TheEpicDartfish]

What if they headlock you the opposite way? Like your head is on his back's side instead.

[@vaggs75]

When you get your left hand in his face put it under his nose, throwing the head backwards will then be a game! Friendly advice, awesome vids!

[@setsu2221]

2 scenarios: 1. Guy doing the headlock 190cm tall + strong muscles, not like a bodybuilder but strong. What to do then? Will it still work? I'm 173 cm tall with lots of muscles and a somewhat understanding of how to fight, yet i have never actually tried to counter a headlock since it has only been done for fun. understand of my strength, compared to my height, i deadlift 140kg, i can hold a human flag, i can punch and elbow strike for example a wall, without hurting myself and i am very flexible. 2. The very rare times that i actually use headlocks because i don't want to damage anyone physically more than neccesary, i will usually lay down while having their headlocked, with all my weight, which makes it almost impossible to get out of it, if i was to get into such a headlock, how would i be able to get out of it? If it would even be possible.

[@madjack821]

I've used the one where you bring your arm around and into the face. I was at a party and a buddy of mine (who's a lot bigger than me, yet for some reason can't hold his liquor) decides he wants to get me in a head lock. I use this move and follow up with a rear naked choke on him until he cooled down.

[@zerothehero123]

Eye poking, throat punching and biting also works well. Where did you get your experience in self defense Shane? I learn the same techniques in JKD.

[@lucasstevens7724]

used this tactic a few days ago led on to getting on top and knocking him out, but yes you eat a ton of punches while in the headlock so i wouldn't call it a dominant position for a second

[@TheLettermanJacket]

I like the 1st way better, cause it has a better chance of working if they are bigger than you.

[@pubate1]

From now I respect you as my master bro.Thanks and hope I can do things to give you back.

[@Starch25]

What about a headlock if I am sitting? I would try punching to the face or elbowing his stomach

[@MrMZaccone]

In my experience, the concepts here are good but there are better, leverage based answers than "upping the ante" to groin strikes and eye gouging.

[@rubenb144]

omg thanks SOO much this is so useful beacause those kind of headlocks are so commonly used!

[@FireEater]

Wrestling move is to sink to your knee. Now he is being pulled forward and is off balance you can roll him forward or Hook a leg with your arm and lean back As he's falling backwards spin on him and you will be in top position. Good tube thanks.

[@sasizzarrustuta8919]

This topic is pretty relevant right now. And tip 2 is the bee's knees.

[@deanmiller4806]

Variation.. rear hand grabs back collar of bad guy, front hand lifts behind bad guys front knee as you pull the collar down circular motion. This results in a flip, sort of cartwheel like, of the bad guy and you can aim him head first into the pavement thus KOing or killing him. Good times

[@mikadeboos2051]

DON'T JUST TAKE THE PUNCHES! Hold his punching arm against his body. Block his arm, trap it, then punch his balls, he will release grip automatically. Then you're able to strike in different places to break free.

[@thesearchernow]

if we can consider that a side by side headlock, how about a frontal one? like when he can easily throw knees to your stomach, or punch your ribs or even elbow your spine.

[@carlosandresariasvalencia6860]

first thanks for the videos i am a big fan..i was actually recently on a real street fight in that position i first started punching the groin like 5 times with the adrenaline at the moment he didn´t felt a thing... my second though was to push him into some rigid tables and bite him in the arm and so i did... i would recommend u to consider this kind of conditions of oponents to ur arsenal of moves and videos... PD: my sensi taugh me after that fight to bust the knee cap or ankle and push my body backwards in that position and gain offensive position... Greetings from Ecuador Black belt kickboxer 8 years training....

[@SpectrumKittay]

Out curiosity, what happens if it's a straight out chokehold from behind? Not from the side, but from the behind?

[@anthonyvandenborre9823]

You could also grab his leg and get up straight, but maybe it takes more strenght than grabbing the core and squat.
