What about the front headlock move? I don't think that's judo but I'm no sure. Does the front headlock position even exist in judo?

i mean a mae hataka jime is usually done from the front headlock but i dont know if it exists as it does in wrestling per se

Oh cool. We call this a head pinch in wrestling, yeah the front headlock exists in judo then. But wrestling uses it more because the stance is lower so it's much easier to snap them down unlike judo where they're upright so getting them in that position is very hard.

yeah i mean every time you sprawl to a double leg you can get into a front headlock where as in judo you dont really go "down" for takedowns so its harder to catch someone
