Re: Headlock from the front

I agree with Mr. Calvo. I was shocked when I attended a jujitsu class and my judo instructor, who taught for the air force, told us to grab the hair of the person in front of us, pull them down, placing their head under our belly, our hand under the chin against the throat.

He said "if you don't like him, come here david!, you do this" - and he spun my neck with his hips and i felt the cervical vertebrae max out - and he used the same effort as if he was sweeping the floor with a broom.

Don Magee, you sound like a hell of a judoka. I think the hold you are describing (i'm rusty) involves a strangulation movement. Does that sound right?

I have a weak neck, so having it broken is more believable for me. I protect my neck more than i protect my belly.
