Which technique results in a rear headlock?

• A. The Weave
• B. The Sit Down Sweep
• C. The Step-Behind and Push Bar
• D. The Hip Thrust to Standing Back Control

Answer: (C)

To get a rear headlock you need to come in from behind and wrap an arm around the opponent’s head while securing control with your other hand. The Step-Behind and Push Bar sequence does exactly that: you step behind to close the gap and angle your body so you can reach around the head, then use a forearm pressure (the push bar) to press the head into your chest while your other hand locks in the grip. This combination anchors the head from behind and prevents easy escapes, so you can tighten the lock from a secure rear position.

The other options don’t establish that behind-the-head control as directly. One move focuses on arm control and transitions from the front or top, another starts from a bottom position and sweeps, and the last secures back control rather than wrapping the neck from behind to finish with a headlock.
