I found this instructional to be helpful, it gave me multiple things to think about and try, and I think it will make me a little more comfortable offensively.
I watched It directly twice, and I think it simplifies this position and game so much. even if its not beginners first pic, its working for them as well.
Instantly helped with guillotine defense. Nice alternatives to hand fighting.
Nice
Great material as always from Craig
There's a lot a great information to improve your front headlock game.
great thorough material on front headlock escapes
great
As a turtle player this was a big help
awesome techniques
Great information
Sensei CG, as always, is a warranty. Great instructional Highly recommended
Great details for making the escapes work
Great instructional to make sure you understand the pros and cons of the different kinds of guillotines and how to defend them. I got this so that I would be more confident shooting double legs and now I'm usually happy when someone goes for the choke because they're not defending the takedown.
great success
❤️️
It's not just escapes, but understanding the little details that make the position work and how to effectively counter them. This will help your offense as well.
I was searching a series on this exact topic. Craig Jones has a great approach to the front headlock problem.
Awesome techniques and all the details. Great display of knowledge and proven techniques that work. Having a better understanding of chokes, I went back to have a look at Tcity against Volk and man was it impressive.
Totally worth the price, essential for wrestlers transitioning to grappling/mma.
Great instructional on dealing with front headlock. I feel a lot more confident going to turtle now.
Outstanding! Easy to follow and well explained. A great investment.
i used to get caught in guillotines all the time, not anymore
Craig joness is truly one of the best ever. He jokes around about the whole silver medal thing but in terms of technical knowledge, he is top 0.1%.
Comprehensive, well structured complete headlock/guillotine/darce escape system.
Well explained & effective technique! Pure Gold!!!
A very generous assembly of the fundamentals of headlock / guillotines attacks, as well as the escapes that are needed. If you've got a long neck like me it's an essential pick up.
These Craig Jones instructionals are seriosly amazing..his teaching style is easy and casual then his techniques and insights are super precise..maybe its just me but his style feels like the evolution of grappling..jits and wrestling and judo and mexican karate ..what else could you ask for? go craig jones!!
Great solution for an obnoxious problem - people that grab your head and try to take it with them
High quality instructional chock full of details and explanations.
Really helped me with my front headlock eacapes
When you are a rookie and **** at shooting takedowns this helps. Thanks Craig
This instructional combines the best bits of front head escape, finishing mechanics, wrestling finishes and even Kipping escapes. Best thing for the pesky blue belts with big biceps
When they say, “The second best team in the world” they’re lying ;)
Craig Jones helps you expand your knowledge on front headlock defense.
I was laughing the entire time. The funny hat throws and then the vest had me laughing and waiting for the next teaching! Super crazy how much this Craig Jones knows. The break down of the arm in guillotine vs the Marcelo-tine vs the high elbow blew my mind. I was always getting caught with so many of the things Craig says in this instructional! He shouted out the old classic grapplers and mma fighters. I learned about the whole sport from Craig’s use of stories and records won in the past. Honestly very informative and I started getting all my training partners with front head attacks. Watch out blue belts I’m coming for you!!!
