Kenpo Karate Grip of Death - Dr. Len's Kenpo Page

Technique Of The Month Grip Of Death
Attack: The opponent approaches you from behind and delivers a right-arm headlock.

Defense:

From a natural stance, step your right foot towards 10:30 and drop into a right close kneel stance as you execute simultaneous hammerfist strikes.
While remaining in the close kneel stance, slide your left hand up the opponent's back and over his head. Complete your arm's motion by executing a left two-finger press to his philtrum and a simultaneous left thumb hook to his right jaw hinge.
Anchor your left arm and rotate to a left forward bow stance (facing the opponent) as you execute a right heel palm thrust to his chin.
