Technique: The headlock position

1/24 ~ 1/28
       Being in a head-lock can sometimes be a very scary thing. However, as long as you have the proper tools to escape from the head lock it becomes much less intimidating. The important thing is to stay calm and relaxed while tactically applying the appropriate technique.
       This week at El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we focused on just that. Getting the headlock, attacks once you are in the headlock, and escapes/attacks to counter the headlock.

Stand up:
   (In all instances, it is important to get your hips all the way through to load your partner up for a throw)
1. Headlock from lapel and sleeve
2. Headlock from under hook
3. Headlock from over hook
  
Attacks:
- Arm bar by trapping the arm between the legs
- key lock using the legs
- choke  (with the legs)   (with the arms)

Escapes:
1. Frame the face, shrimp out to get the leg over the head
     - choke with legs
     - arm bar with their arm trapped in the armpit
2.  Get body parallel and hook your top leg, post other knee out, post hands out,
     - shoulder lock
     - choke
3.  Lock bodies, bridge into him, bridge on back, bridge all the way through. Finish in 100 kilos
