Last night in class we worked on headlock escapes from the side control position. The headlock is sometimes used as a submission by someone who does not have a lot of training. So it is a common attack to see on the street.
The side control headlock is also a common position for a larger opponent to try to put his way to use to crush you. This is why it is important to have a proper study of alignment and body position in order to avoid being crashed by a larger opponent. This is the great thing about good Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, it will focus on good alignment of the body in order to survive against a superior opponent in a self-defense situation on the street.
We went through several variations of escapes from this position. And finished class with active resistance training.
