Description: Principle 28: Head Control Controlling your opponent’s head to limit or direct their movement. Where the head goes, the body will follow; where the head can’t go, neither can the body. The head has more influence over a person’s posture, mobility and balance than any other body part. The most common head control methods are twisting, turning, tilting, framing, hugging, pulling, pushing, or pinning. Offensively, you can use your opponent’s head to break their balance, contain and control escapes, and enhance submissions. Defensively, understanding head control helps you to recognize escape and reversal opportunities, and to avoid strikes through distance management.
