      • Elbow hand to under hook grabbing their shoulder,
      • Under side foot forward, between their feet,
      • Connect both hands for the Pinch Headlock
      • S-grip is preferred but you can also use a Gable Grip
      • Front elbow is in tight to their chest
    • Pinch Headlock with Underhook
      • Same as above but you can’t trap the elbow, so just take a standard Underhook

      • Set up the Pinch Headlock as above
      • Pull your opponent backwards,
      • Turn 180 to get your hips in, and sinch your grip
      • Step back with your now lead foot, and Donkey kick hard with you now back leg
      • Finish on top.
    • Pinch Headlock – Hip Throw
      • Same as above but step all the way through for a hip throw
      • Finish with knee down, for better control
    • Change of Direction Drag Down
      • The change of direction is basically the same as in lessons 29 & 30,
      • The only difference is we are going to keep the Pinch Headlock
      • From either of the above takedowns, your opponent sits down and back
      • Change direction turning back into them, pull down hard on the Pinch Headlock
