Jersey Krav Maga & Self Defence

SIDE HEADLOCK
RELEASE FROM THE FLOOR

In the grapple, its easy to get taken to the ground. This applies to a standing side headlock whether it's intentional or not.

As falling if possible maneuver yourself to a side position to immediately attack the head before the aggressor has a chance to lock down strongly.

There are a number of release options depending on how early/ late the escape is attempted but if your hands are free and aggressor's head is in a good place, the head to knee release is a solid option. Make sure to control/ strike the aggressor's head to stop them getting up and continuing the assault.

SIDE HEADLOCK
BASIC RELEASE

Side Headlock can be applied from a number of different positions (behind, grapple, front etc). Regardless the principle is the same...head caught with the arm, pulled into the body, significant pressure/ damage applied to the neck.

In the basic release I.e. caught but not yet pulled deep or to the floor, follow the basic rules.

- turn head into aggressor's arm pit
- simultaneously attack groin and swim arm to grab the head under the nose
- pull head back, straight spine & attack the head
- separate or control or continue combatives (whichever is most applicable to the circumstance)

'BASEBALL SWING'
HORIZONTAL STICK ATTACK

Horizontal swing is the most powerful swing. Fortunately its the easiest to see and judge time & distance.

There are two easy principles for sticks...you are either inside or outside 😄

If you dont have room to maneuver or an object you could use to defend yourself (e.g. chair), then your best choice is moving in fast & strong.

Burst inside the swing arc, if your hands are up, its possible to use the double forearm defence. Intercept the weapon perpendicular to the swing.

There are variations on the initial counter strike and disarms but the most important thing is getting control of the weapon & the aggressor's arm to deny another attack.

OVERHEAD STICK ATTACK
STABBING DEFENCE

Single handed.

The most dangerous part of a stick type object is the last 5-10". Burst forward to avoid maximum damage.

Stab high between attacker's head and arm. As they bring the stick up, burst forward inside the arc of the weapon. Control and quickly apply knee strikes.

Maintain a solid base while kneeing, control the weapon, disarm and disengage.

Every summer KMG has a summer camp for different levels of student. Our organisation has 3 levels, with each level having 5 grades.

P level - Practioner (Base) - 5 days

This week P Camp started in Sardinia, Italy. Next week it's G Camp and the following will be E Camp.

Two of our students head off to G camp this weekend. Both grading (G1 & G3). Great stuff!

I will miss E Camp this year. First camp I have missed since 2016. FOMO kicking in 🤣
