https://howtheyplay.com/individual-sports/How-to-Escape-a-Headlock
Headlock escapes are so well ingrained into most solid BJJ curricula that it's almost like a running joke. "Headlock escapes again?" The false dichotomy between "sport BJJ" and "self defense BJJ" or "real BJJ" doesn't help much, but if you consider headlock escapes as nothing more than the total sum of the more fundamental movements involved, it's easy to see how many of the same concepts and pieces of the moves apply across a wide range of "sport" situations (and vice versa). One thing is for certain: BJJ really, really knows how to escape from a headlock!
