            * Headlock
            ******************************************************************************************
            Headlock is a very popular way of attack in all violent situations and it is thus necessar

            basic principles of defense against it. If headlock is applied, attacker is able to contro
            victim and eventually choke him/her or take him/her down.


            In a situation where a headlock is applied, it is necessary to position oneself perpendicu
            attacker, turn the head towards attacker´s body and lift shoulders. Loosening crotch punch
            hand and pulling attacker´s head back by gripping his nose with the back hand follows. Aft

            stability has been compromised, defender can straighten up and carry out a counterattack.

            In case of a very strong attacker, it is possible to embrace him around his hips after the

            and pull him back to the ground.

            When an attacker wants to throw their victim to the ground, it is necessary to be faster i

            forward and secure a dominant position after the roll. After that we again pull attacker´s
            escape the headlock.
