The One Escape the Army Teaches If a Younger Man Gets You in a Headlock

Self-Defense After 60: www.gary-benson.com A younger man's arm can lock around your neck in three seconds, and your first instinct to pull straight out only tightens it. Gary Benson breaks down the Army's own headlock escape step by step: where to put your chin, how to anchor your feet so you can't be thrown, and the exact spot under the nose the manual targets to force his head back and his grip open. You'll also see the ground version of the escape, the counter for an arm from behind, a safe way to practice it with a partner, and the warning signs after a choke that mean you need a doctor that same day. Every move is shown start to finish on a grey-haired man taking the hit, so you can see what it looks like when size and strength stop deciding the fight.
