If your applying to much pain compliance, they could freak and add more resistance. So lesson pain compliance and they might not resist as much
Tips
If in middle of positioning to cuffing and they are resisting a ton, go back to Mount, wait for help
Tips
Don’t rely on pain compliance, but rely on control

When this happens, move quick.if legs dont uncross, reach up with arm and grab arm not gripping your head tight. pin it. Then push arm through near head thats gripped, push arm on his chest and wiggle head out. start striking in face, and then more than likely legs will uncling to eachother, then move hands underneath legs, etc.

Trap and Roll Escape (3 variations)Double Underhook Guard Pass (2 variations)Double Underhook Guard Pass (2 variations)Positional Control – Mount (4 variations)Twisting Arm Handcuffing (3 variations)
Slice 1: Open Guard Variation
Indicator: Opponent’s legs are uncrossed, and you seek to advance your position.ED: Dip the shoulder, keep weight on opponent, and pass to the opposite side of your gun.MCM: Weight on knees instead of toes during stack.ST: Tighten up your core to protect your body during the stack.BD: Always pass to the side opposite of your firearm.DO: Start from open guard, 1 rep, reverse roles.
Slice 2: Closed Guard Variation
Indicator: Opponent crosses their feet and establishes the closed guard.ED: Solid posture and good distraction strikes.MCM: Face up and exposed, during pass, instead of down and protected.DO: Start in the closed guard, strike for distraction, pass the guard, reverse roles.
Mindset Minute
When you find yourself inside the closed guard, there is no major hurry to pass. Whenever possible, achieve posture and use distraction strikes to force the guard to open at which point you can either stand up and disengage or use the Double Underhook Pass to achieve the side mount. Also, once you achieve the side mount, you should anticipate their attempt to reestablish the guard and position yourself accordingly.
Slice 1: Basic Application (Preparation Drill)
ED: Very tight initial wrap – no gaps.MCM: Lifting up without driving armpit down.ST: Tighten neck muscles to stay safe during pressure.DO: Start standing, 1 rep on each side, reverse roles.Note: All LEOs should adhere to their organizations’ ‘Use of Force Policy’ regarding the application of the Front Headlock Neck Restraint.
Front Headlock
With subject facing you, their head underneath you right armpit, with your right arm wrapped around their neck, clinching your left hand
Step 2
Bring your hips forward, while dropping your right shoulder and lifting up and squeezing with right arm. With left hand holding onto right hand, turn right hand while hips come forward
Tips
Very deep is the head placed into armpit
Tip
make sure head isnt in your chest, but deep in your armpit
Tip
make sure you stand and not lean forward to keep him from picking you up and dumping you on ground. For him to pick you up he has to drop to grab your legs, but the more he drops the more the choke will work.
Slice 2: Standing Variation
Indicator: Opponent attempts to tackle you or dive in for your duty belt.ED: Block the shoulders and continue sprawling until the full wrap is established.MCM: Trying to apply pressure from a sprawled position instead of standing up.BGR: When simulating the tackle, continue driving forward until the wrap is fully established.DO: Start standing, neutralize tackle, 1 rep, reverse roles.Note: When applying this technique always be cognizant of the condition of the opponent. As explained in Lesson 6, it is important to be able to recognize when they are unconscious so that you can immediately transition to aftercare procedures. To avoid unnecessary exposure to injury, do not continue to apply this restraint after you are aware that they have completely passed out. Always adhere to your agency’s UOF policy as well as its aftercare procedures.
Step 1
If subject runs at you, first put at your hands onto his shoulders to stop him, while keeping your legs back so they cant grab your tools on duty belt. Now drop forearms onto shoulder, then wrap his neck deep into armpit and then go into front headlockNote: Once you grab your wrist underneath his neck, then walk forward
Note
If someone is going for your weapons on your duty belt, this is a proper use of force because they are wanting your weapons to hurt or kill you
Slice 3: Front Headlock Defense
Indicator: Opponent catches you in a standing Front Headlock.ED: Always move to the side opposite the neck wrap.MCM: Failure to maintain control of the legs throughout.BD: Commit to the side flop and don’t let go of the legs.DO: 1 rep, reverse roles.Remember if someone wraps your neck, you have to land on the opposite site of the hold
Step 1
Your neck gets wrapped in his right armpit, with his right arm around your neck and his left hand clinching his right hand.
Step 2
Now move your right hand to the outside of his left leg,| The back of your left hand to the inside of his right leg
Step 2
Now move your right hand to the outside of his left leg,| The back of your left hand to the inside of his right leg
Step 3
Now use your hands to move your body to the opposite side of the neck hold, which will place his left foot almost between your two feet, making somewhat of a triangle
Step 4
Now take your right leg and shoot it through the back entrance between his left leg and right leg, wrapping your leg around his left leg (like a hook), with your knee falling to the ground, driving through with your back foot to make the suspect fall
Step 5
Continue holding onto his legs as you both fall. Your body will then rotate with your stomach facing the ceiling and your left leg coming around and landing on the ground. Youll be in a position of a bridge in a way
Step 6
Now rotate back and go to your knees
Step 7
Now let go of his leg with your right hand and bring your right forearm and place it on his neckThen grab onto his right shoulder with your hand while bringing your elbow down, causing your forearm to cause pressure on his neck
Step 8
The neck restraint you apply with your forearm should cause him to let go of your neck
Step 9
Underhook right arm with your left arm
Step 10
Underhook left arm with your right arm
Tip
When you triangulate, dont bring your left leg to close to his leg, because if it is, and you hook his leg, it will be hard to drive off the leg to close to cause him to fall
Tip
When practicing and you both fall to ground after hooking the leg, allow your hips to hit ground so all that pressure isnt on your partner when you fall
Note
When on the ground and your head is still in guillotine, and your in somewhat side mount, he cant finish you. now dont pull your neck out, instead push it in, safer for neck. Instead rely on your forearm on his neck to choke him for him to let you go
Note
If triangulated to side, and suspect tries to pull guard, and you fall to ground, your still on side and out of his guard
Tip
Flex your neck and make it tight, tuck that chin
Mindset Minute
Of all the techniques that have been used by students around the world by Gracie Jiu-Jitsu students, the Front Headlock Neck Restraint is one of the most common, probably because it is so easy to catch on an unsuspecting opponent. Focus on perfecting your ability to establish the initial wrap very quickly and tightly, and be sure to give the technique enough time to take effect.
Slice 1: Hidden Arm Technique
Indicator: Opponent is prone with both hands hidden under his chest.ED: Effective use of the subject’s shoulder as a fulcrum.MCM: Failure to lean all the weight on the suspect.BGR: Do not clasp hands together for this variation.ST: Be gentle with the shoulder during practice.DO: Start on the prone back mount, hands hidden, 1 rep, reverse roles.
Slice 2: Close Quarters Variation
Indicator: Opponent’s is prone with hands hidden in confined space.ED: Instead of shoulder on back, use knee on back during the pry.MCM: Ineffective movement and positioning of the posted foot.ST: Be gentle with the knee on back as it can be painful in practice.DO: Start on the prone back mount, 1 rep, reverse roles.
Mindset Minute
It is important not to lose your patience with this technique, and remember that time is on your side. Your objective is to achieve the handcuffing position using the least amount of force.
