Craig Jones, Passing Entries & Front Headlock Transitions

Intro del volumen

This volume explores how to shut down wrestling-based movement from top position, using passing threats to set up front headlocks. Craig Jones demonstrates how to blend downblocks with knee cuts, torreando, and off-balancing mechanics to enter dominant control. He then transitions to standing front headlock setups and chaining go-behind attacks for positional dominance.
