Escaping a standing side headlock results in which back-control position?

• A. The Weave Under
• B. The Sit Down Sweep
• C. Hip Thrust Slip Out to Back Control
• D. Standing Arm Bar

Answer: (C)

Escaping a standing side headlock is about turning the angle and getting behind your opponent so you control their back. The hip thrust slip out does this in one smooth motion: you drive your hips forward and behind their torso, peel the headlock off, and slip your body around to their back. From there you can secure back control with a seatbelt grip and hooks. This directly achieves the desired rear position from the standing headlock, making it the best fit for the outcome described. The other options describe moves that don’t immediately place you in back control from that situation, or aim for a different end position.
