I used to be able to rotate my body through the throw if I felt the other person applying force. But that has been a few years. You can land with some force on their body if done right. I think we call it a whirlybird? Sound familiar?If he can get to that point, it’ll be more effective. If the opponent recognizes the setup early enough, he can simply duck under the arm as he’s initiating the headlock.
If he does get the throw, and if the opponent is halfway experienced, he’ll start rolling out of it before he hits the mat/ground.
Wrestlers generally stop throwing the head and arm after their first few months for good reason- it’s too easy to counter. Against someone who’s new, it works fine enough. In a street situation, sure, use it. But be prepared to get out of trouble if you mess up a little bit.
