How Do You Defend Against A Headlock Using Israeli Martial Arts?
“I’m Julio Rivera. And I’m Ricardo Belad. And we’re here at Premier Martial Arts in New York City showing you Israeli martial arts. Now we’ll try a variation on the headlock. He grabs, now perhaps he’s bending me forward. Okay, I may not be able to take him back that way. So from here, I’m going to strike and then I’m going to come forward this way. My knee’s going to come down and I’m going to roll over to take him down this way. From here, I can come on top for a mount and strike. And this move is used if your opponent is trying to drive you forward. Grabs me in a headlock, he’s driving me forward, I can hit to the groin, I’m going to bring my knee–you can either shoot your leg through–I’m being nice to Mr. Belad, so I’m putting my knee down, roll him over, and now to gain control I’m stepping over him. Boom, my hand goes right by his neck, and I can choke or strike.
