The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 18: Surviving Front Headlocks

The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast

This week is all about front headlocks! Do you constantly get caught in annoying guillotines and kata gatames (what the hell is even that)? We take a deep dive into front headlocks from both an offensive and defensive perspective. Front headlocks are one of my absolute favourite submission systems. I can’t stress this enough- every single grappler must have these skills in their toolbox. I hope you enjoy the show!
