Hi my name is Dan Schmidt from the Chinese Martial Arts Center in Seminole and in this clip we are going to be showing you the proper way to perform a twisting head lock. So you start in the fighting position and somebody punches towards the chest. First you have got to start with the block and you want to slap the palm up as you yield back, twist inward this way and you are going to come straight across with your hand, right across the windpipe and step behind and then wrap, wrap the head this way and pull the arm back. So they punch, yield, slap it up, twist, step in, slide straight across and grab. A few key points, when they punch, don't stand there and try to grab it like this, you have to move back as it is coming, don't twist, twist, see twist the body, come straight across this way and you strike. Now look at my knees, use your knee to hit their knee to bring them down and pull with this hand so once again he punches, lean back, twist, come straight in and press and that is the proper way to perform a twisting head lock.
