And this attack is basically a grapevine or schoolyard headlock. Effectively it is a stranglehold. So the first thing Sharon needs to do here is turn her head, so her windpipe is free. Okay, while she is doing this she might be raining some blows of her own or sinking her teeth into the ribs. Okay, to affect the escape two things are happening at the same time, two hands. The front hand is coming up and striking the groin; as that strike lands the other hand is snaking up round the back pulling underneath the chin. Pulling back, standing up, getting some blows in, putting the strikes in maybe a push away and get away.
Okay, walk you through. The head turns, the strike comes in to the groin; the other hand comes up round the back, pulls backed on the chin, and away. Now the hand that's come in around the back, keep it working. The hand that is coming around the back is coming Sharon’s side of Adam's head, pulling back, and striking away. Okay, the head turns, two hands working together; pull back, strike, and away.
The arm coming around the back, remember your side of the attacker’s head with the strikes hit, just doing what you have got to do to get away. Okay, once more; okay.
And that's how to deal with or escape from the grapevine or schoolyard headlock.
