There aren’t many people that leave the house during the day or at night that intend to get into a street fight. There are some that do but those people are few and far between as the average Joe has no intentions of getting into a physical altercation…EVER. Even rarer are the life threatening or life changing situations where a person may have to defend themselves because their life is quite literally at risk.

There are those instances when this happens and what happens when you are in a situation that absolutely requires you to fight for your life? Well, neither www.mixedmartialarts.com nor myself promote street fighting or physical acts of violence in any form or fashion but there are those occasions that arise which simply require that you defend yourself or you may, in fact, lose your life. These are situations that your safety and your life depends on your knowledge and ability to perform in a self-defense situation…enter Nick Drossos.

One of the advantages that people who find themselves in a self-defense situation are that the vast majority of the population is untrained in any sort of martial arts. This means that more likely than not your attacker will be untrained which translates into you having the upper hand even if you have only a slight bit of martial arts or self-defense knowledge.

A lot of times an attacker will go to a move that is still be used on playgrounds all over the world to this day…the headlock. The headlock is relatively easy to escape, however; what if the person who has you in this maneuver is a behemoth of a man? What then?

In the video below, Nick expertly teaches you how to escape a headlock from a much larger attacker. So check out the video and give yourself an advantage in any situation.
