Also, a head-lock is just that it does not (should not ) involve the trachea or corotid (neck). So in truth it cannot be a form of choke.
The front headlock and Guillitine are different techniques with different objectives. |
There ya go... word from a pro, a "guillotine" is NOT a head lock... One more time? Squeezing the mellon is a "head lock" but isolating the neck to attack the trachea or corotid is not a head lock? How about you lean back with that choke hold and apply pressure to the neck vertibra? Is it a headlock then?
Guess it's time I went back to school, eh?
edit to define headlock(no pun intended); Noun.
a wrestling hold in which the opponent's head is locked between the crook of your elbow and the side of your body...
Found another crapolla site (a goshin jutsu combat academy page) offering advise on escaping a headlock
"Even the roughly applied version of this hold can be dangerous and will give you problems escaping. The side headlock when clamped on can constrict the carotid arteries running up the side of the neck and slow blood flow down to the brain, making a sleeper hold.....The front headlock can become a powerful choke to the windpipe or a severe neck crank if twisted".
Hmmm.....
