But his head was still held in Jack's grip. When Jack regained his senses and tried to choke him further, he was immediately stopped as Natural Curl used his free hands to grab Jack's wrist, breaking free from the hold. Then, he started punching Jack's face fiercely, but Jack blocked with his forearms.
Seeing that punching was ineffective, Natural Curl quickly switched tactics, reaching for Jack's left leg in an attempt to use a heel hook to lock his opponent's left leg.
This move, if executed lightly, could fracture the kneecap; if strong, could tear ligaments. However, Jack, lying on the ground, quickly kicked with his left leg to break free from Natural Curl's hold, preventing the lock from taking shape.
