Aside from punches, encircling the neck in a #headlock is a very common behavior in a fight. I’m fortunate that I have friends and coworkers to let me periodically practice some defenses and counters with the gear (around 20lbs / 9kgs) on a variety of surfaces.
Torso flexion is much more difficult and my mag pouches and sometimes taser holster dig into my thigh and ribs. The grounded headlock counter that requires the leg to go around the head of the other person is really difficult and may not be possible depending on how your equipment is configured. The only way to find out is to grab a friend and try it out. 🤙🏽 #fbf #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #graciesurvivaltactics #fitness #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly
