Freeings from the headlock

Headlock is a slang term for a forearm stranglehold (Jime waza), here will be pressed against the neck arteries and/or on the larynx with great force. The attacker stands next to or in front of the defender and clamps the neck between his forearm and chest. Thereby, the defender is severely restricted in his movements and is under the attacker's control. He is in a position thereby to bring the defender to the ground. bringen.

In the U.S., the headlock comes at police arrests for use and is one of the standard techniques of police training to suspects or perpetrators to be brought under control. During this action, some people come in the U.S. unfortunately annually to death.
In Germany, however, the police are using a lead away handle (Angling and pushing an arm on the back of the perpetrator).

Very popular is the headlock in brawls as well as in street fighting. There are two variants of the Headlock.
Firstly, from the front; Here the attacker is the defender facing, the defender is diffracted and the attacker looks at the implementation of the technique on his back. Secondly, the classical version, where both, defender and the attacker look in the same direction, the defender is again diffracted. Here is the attacker usually beside and in front of the defender.
In both cases, the neck of the defender as described above is clamped.

The implementation of headlock techniques may be harmful under certain circumstances. In particular, if the attacker builds up very strong pressure on the neck of the defender and the defender is possibly also weaker of stature. In particular, it can cause damage to the cervical spine (Kubi kansetzu - Neck lever), the larynx and trachea. Often in half-hearted liberation attempts hematomas remain, which may heal poorly. A swoon of the defender (victim) by impressions of the common carotid artery is possible.
