Front Headlock Dump

June 19, 2023
  1. Start turtled in bottom front headlock
  2. Use your same side hand to get a high triceps grip on uke's arm around your neck
  3. Step up your far side leg
  4. Circle away from your triceps grip, underhook with your other hand to guide, and keep the triceps grip tight and pulling down and across your body
  5. Once you're on top, pull your head out asap
Variants:
  • If you build up higher, you can hit this by switching your base & dropping to your hip for the turn (see reference video)
  • Instead of underhooking, you can knee tap with your other hand
  • You can, in a single motion, headstand / cartwheel over uke as you finish, to avoid the guillotine
  • The basic concept is pretty similar to a fireman's carry

Chain this with the Front Headlock Arm Drag

Keys

  • The power of this move comes from pulling the triceps grip, not from pushing uke over
  • Get a deep grip and stay TIGHT on the arm
  • Don't get guillotined
