  • @HW2800 Royce gracie..?

  • Interesting!

    The Problem I see there is that if somebody tried to take me down while in a Headlock I defenetly wont let him go, you might get out some other way because I'm not Thaaaat strong but I got a few friends (especially one) who would accidently break my neck or whatever if I tried that with him. I guess I'll give it a try for fun before I try it in a serious fight.

  • @HW2800 Never heard of him. Google's never heard of him either. Please don't make references to your imaginary friends.

  • @M1thotyn,

    Don't tell Horace Grace that! He might get scare of you - strong man!

  • 1:48 if the guy were actually strong and had a hold of you, trying to take him down like that would just twist and possibly break your neck. I've been around people who've trained MMA and you'd be amazed how strong they are. I know a guy with a 700 some lb deadlift who can close a CoC 3.5 gripper and do a 350x2 farmers walk and he's only 5'10 205lbs. If he got a hold of you, or anyone, you would have no hope. No moves or technique will save you from that kind of strength, so just be strong.

  • @prokickboxer123 A real headlock knocks you out in only 1-2 seconds. Good luck escaping from that. What you are watching here is a NECKLOCK and it is NOT THE SAME THING!

  • Arhg, a neck lock is NOT a headlock! Everywhere I go, and I mean everywhere, even MMA forums, they are referred to as if they are the same thing. A headlock is EXACTLY as it says, you put your arm around THEIR HEAD and squeeze their TEMPLES with your forearm and bicep. NOT THEIR NECK! ... The major difference as well is that you can knock a person out in 1-2 seconds with a headlock, that sort of pressure on your temples can even kill you. Necklocks, on the other hand, are for pussies.

  • @peretman27 Dude, never headlock someone in a fight lol that's just asking to get your asses whooped

  • What kind of JJ do you do?

  • @vBulletinzz You obviously don't know how to fight.
