We can face different situations in life. We see people are being attacked and get injured. It is not that the attackers always use weapons to attack. Sometimes they punch and kick. Sometimes they grab and lock. There are some sensitive parts of the body. If the attacker grabs and locks it, that will be a problem.
The most important thing is, whatever the attacker wants to do, he has to come close to you. If he wants to punch you, he needs to be in a punching range. In order to kick, he has to be in a kicking range. If the attacker wants to grab and lock your head, he will get close to you.
Controlling the distance is very important in a fight. You can attack and defend and to do that, the distance between your and your opponent is a single factor that determines a lot of things in a fight. Here we are talking about what to do against lock head. First of all, if you prevent the attacker from getting close to you, he will not be able to lock your head. That's the first defense.
Somehow he gets close to you or you two are in a close range, this is the moment he can grab your neck. To do that, you can see his arms on your neck. As soon as you see that, grab his hand so that you cannot apply pressure and squeeze. When you stop him, that is the moment for you to strike.

If someone grabs your neck and punches you, you have to do two things first. Grab the attacker's hand and defend his punch. When he hits you in a situation like this, that makes it difficult to get rid of this.
While making your move to defend yourself against the head lock, you have to have your body balance. If you lose your balance, you cannot make this technique work for you. So ground yourself properly and keep your body balance. Grab his hand that is on your neck, defend yourself and counter-attack.
You can do elbow strike, knee charge, kick to his leg, hammer fist. You can do whatever you want. You can also sweep his leg and make him fall on the ground. If the ground is solid and hard, you do not need to do much if you fall on the ground. It will do the job for you.
