Lovely technique to escape a very common trap position - thanks. Interesting to note that Pablo Popovitch shows a similar move from the knees - another infuriatingly common position to get stuck in. Invaluable.
This is a helpful video. This is the same position Cung Le was in against Vanderlei Silva. He got kneed badly from there because he couldn't get his head out. I guess the other puzzle is how does one defend knees from there long enough to escape.
There's a traditional escape for headlocks: Short ( sucker ) Drag. When someone grabs your own arm to headlock you, you simply use that "same arm" he's using to choke ( headlock ) you, and hold the outside/back of his elbow, and simultaneously side-step towards his back foot. In other words, you'll end up facing the "same direction" if completed correctly. Also: Dip your head downward while pulling the elbow. The sidestepping opens up the 'headlock" hold, via ANGLE moving via "T" ( perpendicular).

Great coach, Thank you!
Good stuff
This is only going to work in fantasy land
Seems if you reach up to block the knee he can just lock that up
Good job
