Combat Kick Boxing

Head Lock
Situation Seven: Your opponent has seized your head and is exerting pressure
on your neck.
This is a very dangerous situation. It is very easy for your assailant to strangle
you, dislocate your neck or apply a thumb gouge to your eyes from this position.
You must break the hold immediately.
Throw a left hook to his kidney. Reach up, grab his hair* and tear it back
violently. Throw a right hook to his chin, then finish him by driving a rising knee
kick into the small of his back. (Figs. 90 to 94)

*If your assailant’s hair is too short to grab, use his ear or hook your finger in his
mouth and tear it backwards. Be careful not to fumble the mouth hook, you
could have your finger bitten off!
