Once again, this technique can be practiced without a partner playing the role of attacker, but if a partner is used, be careful not to actually strike him. This safe method of striking is called "control," and the best practitioners of the martial arts can control any strike they wish, and they are able to practice and even "fight" without causing injury.

HEADLOCK — VARIATION A

(Attacker's feet are together)

There are four variations for the Headlock (Variations A, B, C and D). Variation A is the first and simplest. The starting position is shown in fig. ssss1. Step with your right foot to a Horse Stance at 2:30, cocking both your right and left arms for hammerfist strikes (fig. ssss1). Throw your left hammerfist to your attacker's left kidney, and at the same time, your right to his groin (fig. ssss1). Now grab your attacker's hair with your left hand (fig. ssss1) (his hold will be broken) and drive your right palm up under his chin (fig. ssss1). This palm thrust completes the technique — exercise caution in practicing it.
