I know this is gonna sound odd, but my son looks forward to his nightly sit-ups and push-ups before bed, to the extent that if he acts up during the day I threaten to NOT let him do them before bed. How many of you dads can say you have caught your kid "sneaking" to get in 20 sit-ups or push-ups....lol. It's crazy, but I love it and I don't want to start using them as a punishment, however I am staring the headlock problem square in the face with Kolton. He had it used on him rather firmly his first yr and almost caused him to quit. I had to address it in practice to teach him the counters. I tell him the same thing "live AND die by the headlock". If I had a quarter for every time I tell him shoot the legs, I could pay for John Smiths OSU camp.
If anyone can suggest some take downs that seem to be easier to grasp or drills that have helped break a habit headlocker, I would try them. Thanks
