In this Free Kung Fu Lesson we are going to show you how to control and escape a headlock situation. A headlock is a wrap around the neck and a squeeze in. Your opponent can hurt your jaw line and hurt your neck.
Key Points
- Raise your shoulders (Takes away their power)
- Grab their arm
- Put your other arm around the hip
- Sink your leg towards their thigh
- Get the control point
Recap of the dirty stuff!
Don’t let this technique fool you, it’s a very painful feeling to be pinched right in your inner thigh.
Or…
Use your finger under their nose.

I knew of a couple techniques to get out of headlock. One of them yyou taught but i was applying my ttechniques wrong. You tought me the exact techniques to detail. Your teachings are way better for myself than others. Hope you have the same membership deal in the beginning of the month when I will have it because this is what I want to do.
Hi Latausca, the membership prices will be the same 🙂
That is something new to me, but it makes sense. Thank you very much !
Glad you enjoyed Pierangelo and you are welcome!
Yes, very practical and fast solution! Thank you for uploading!
It works great in all kinds of scenarios, I think Sifu Larry can attest I have pretty much perfected the pinch of death! LOL
Or at least the pinch of get off of me right now! 😉
When all else fails a properly executed pinch works in a pinch! Pun intended!
If some one thigh are strong and his height is much and we can not reaching on his face so in that case what strategy we need to use.
You could jab them with our thumb drive technique behind their ear where there is a pressure point to get them to release quickly, or in their inner thigh which is very sensitive regardless of how strong their muscles are. Also you could go for a groin pull as well. There are many options.
we tried this head lock and I apply the technique i pinched his leg, until now my room mate doesn’t want to talk to me because he feel maybe excruciating leg pain, meaning it really works! thanks sifu phu & sifu larry, 🙂
haha, all of us here at Enter Shaolin know exactly how your friend feels 🙂
Wish I was with you folks to enjoy the fun and camaraderie.
The more the Merrier 🙂
Thank you guys! So ideally you’re trying to keep your opponent in close and control his hips. Would the contact point be at his and your pelvic bone? In watching the other videos in the training I’m trying to get a grasp on flowing and finding the contact points. Also, you mentioned that early on most of our training would be done solo before we progress at higher levels, did I get that right? I’m not yet involved at any school currently so finding a training partner is very limited, other than my wife.
Hi Tom you are partially correct. That is indeed one of the contact points. In a close quarter situation like that all areas of contact would be considered a contact point.
Yes we have a ton of solo training for you to train with.
Larry, Curly, MO!
lols!
