A headlock is very common in a street fight – do you know what to do?
At some point in your life, you may find yourself in a situation where you have to defend yourself from an attacker. A street fight won’t follow rules or niceties; if you find yourself in this situation, you need to do as much as possible to defend yourself and avoid getting seriously hurt.
Bear in mind that use of excessive force is illegal but that defending yourself is not, so remember that the aim is to protect yourself and get out of there as quickly as you can.
Some success from viewers of this video. Check out their comments:
“Guess What? I did this in a street fight and it WORKED! The guy was bigger than me and he did not AT ALL expect I was going to roll him ! He was super confused on the ground and EXACTLY like you said he pulled my head and I did what you said, I got him in an ARMLOCK but I did not want to snap his arm, IMAGINE he just said f*** you f***** and he disappeared ! He was looking at his arm, maybe it was broken I do not know but he was like super choked! Thank you Stephan! But I have to say something to not to misinform people here, i have martial arts background and it helped me so much, I think if you will do this technique without knowing what’s is a side control he will escape…”
