Escaping Headlocks

Sometimes, a less-experienced person will attempt to pin you with a headlock. Intermediate and advanced students almost never get caught in these, but beginners might well find themselves in this predicament. No worries - there's a quick way out!. Here is a lightning-fast read on the subject:

Escapes
1. Frame escape
2. Hooking the leg escape

2. Collar choke (okurieri-jime - sparring only) / punches (self defense only)
3. Take the back.
