Video Transcript

" Hi my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center and for expertvillage.com. In this clip we are going to be showing you self defense against the side head lock. So in many different instances people like to grab from the sock like this. This first thing that you want to do is grab there hand just the way of control this helps you hold your balance and help them from moving you around to much. If you notice I take a wide step out like this you want to bend you knees into a comfortable position. Take your rear arm, wrap it around this way, you could either go to the throat which is the safes or straight to the chest. So lets go straight to the throat and from here you are going to lean back with all of your weight and you are going to take the rear foot and scoop it straight out. So you go here and knee as they fall backwards. So when you do that part. So just be still so as you do this you don't want to try and kick the leg that doesn't work you have to actually lean back to make them go back. So lets do it once again start here. So I grab the hand, step out just a little bit, wrap the rear arm over there shoulder and straight up to the throat, press and lean back and sweep. Just like that. So one more time. So....block go down hold there hand firmly, and step out, wrap the hand around to the throat and lean all the way back and that is self defense against the side head lock."
