We are going to teach you how to escape from a headlock as well as how to maintain control of the situation in this Free Kung Fu Lesson. A wrap around the neck and a squeeze-in are the two components of a headlock. Your adversary has the ability to cause you pain in both the jaw and the neck.

Getting Out Of A Basic Headlock

Key Points

  • Raise your shoulders to your ears (Takes away their power)
  • Take a hold of their arm.
  • Wrap your free arm around the other person’s hip.
  • Put your shin in contact with their thigh.
  • Acquire the point of control.

Kung Fu Lessons Online – Recap of the dirty stuff!

Do not be fooled by this method; being pinched directly in the middle of your inner thigh is a sensation that is excruciatingly unpleasant.

You might also try sticking your finger up their nose.

Can I learn kung fu for free?

This is a question that is asked rather frequently, which comes as a surprise to me. On the other hand, there is no financial commitment necessary to begin training in Kung Fu. Kung fu classes don’t break the bank and are well worth the investment.

How and where you exercise are two factors that determine the degree to which you will see results. The point is if you can receive kung fu for free, do you really want to learn it when you have the option to do so? Some individuals lack the drive necessary to go through with the training required of them because of the expense involved.


Watching videos on YouTube can teach you new talents if you’re willing to put in the effort. To become highly skilled at something, you are going to need to invest a significant amount of time, money, and effort.

      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.

      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!

      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.

    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.
