KRAV MAGA: Choke Defense Series - (Classic Bully) Side Headlock Counter

Choke Defense Series - (Classic Bully) Side Headlock Counter

The attacker possibly a bully at school puts you in a basic headlock from the side.

Steps:
1. When the bully puts you in a headlock, allow yourself go with downwards motion, while twisting your head slightly inwards to prevent the hold from choking you.

2. Strike with your arm nonadjacent to his body, with an open palm powerfully to the bullies groin area.

3. As the attacker is stunned, take your adjacent hand to his body, bring it above his shoulder from behind and grab either his facial pressure points or his eyes.

4. Pull his head backwards with a reverse grip and simultaneously lift your body, while striking the back of his lower quadriceps with a quick knee. This will throw him off balance and further stun him.
• At this point he will loosen the headlock.

5. Take your free hand and add downwards pressure to the attacker's facial pressure points, throwing him to the floor.

6. Once the attacker is on the floor, you can either pin him down, or run for help. Remember this move is for defensive purposes only. Do not try this unless you're properly trained, or have proper supervision.

I wasn't aware Krav Maga had techniques against bullies. This makes me rather suspicious. I wouldn't dare teach Krav Maga to my kids as a bully defense... or is that because I only study the military applications of Krav Maga?

@WritingFighter

This move is not "a technique against bullies", it simply can be used in this specific situation. This move can be applied in a range of different situations. Teaching children self defense allows them to develop coordination, self esteem, and discipline. Over all learning self defense (Obviously not the military standard Krav Maga) is a great experience for them, with many positive byproducts.

Thank you very much for your comment and support,

Have a great day.

Having train in IKMF Krav Maga for years (and BJJ and MMA), I'd like to make some qualified comments (rare things on YouTube):

- the hand over face is better with thumb under nose and fingers over eyes (so assailant has nothing to bite and creates another reflex action from eyes covered)

- force from face grab is achieved in torque from rotation of arm and more of a downward pressure than backwards, thus weaker defenders being able to use this technique as well those with strength.

@kiwiramjet

Great Input! Thank you for adding these details.

Stay Safe. Thanks for the support.

@DuffmanIRL

It is true that learning Krav Maga ONLY online with out any practice involved is not very practical or useful, BUT if you do have a background in any practical self defense method, combative, or martial arts, and you would like to expand your personal knowledge in self defense, watching our videos and practicing the move will improve and add to your self defense level. The moves that we teach are both practical and simple. Find a friend and train together.

Good Comment,

@roomak1999 In class, we run drills where you attack random people and they defend. I'm a big guy 5'11, 280lbs.  We were doing this choke defense. I choked a female who was probably about 5'5, 130lbs. She took me to the ground easily. It works.

[roninjoseph338]

You don't have to strike with the knee, the person will go down. When you place your hand on their face, you bring your elbow to their back and lift yourself up like you are getting out of a pool. Deliver strikes to the face while they go down if needs be.

For countering bully at school ?? Thank God my classmates back then did not know this trick :P

[roomak1999]

This technique is questionable. If the bully is stronger and bigger (usual case), it may not work.

I would prefer first to move my hand and shoulder to position behind the attacker.

Move the hand with wide circle up to the position were my shoulder almost covers attackers shoulder.

Next I will move the hand down, which gives me leverage and lock attackers hand. A small twist of my body in direction away from attacker will force him to the ground.

@TEMPO690 Ah, yes. An armchair warrior.

@witri9 That's how I was taught it. Groin attack first, then go for the eyes. Hammer fist to the chin on the way down helps too.
