The front headlock is one of wrestling’s most important positions. Mastery of a good front headlock will create many options to score points and control an opponent. The position is often secured after thwarting an opponent’s takedown attempt. In this video, 6x National Champion and US Olympic wrestler Heath Sims demonstrates a front headlock to shuck.
