I bet that causes you to stay low with your head and also use your core to put the lock on instead of just arm muscles.Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-84881737488020176202011-06-07T16:09:44.776+01:002011-06-07T16:09:44.776+01:00Yes, the opposite hook in is a good one!

You will often hear me shouting "motorcycle grip! MOTORCYCLE GRIP!" from the side of the mat. Unfortunately, no one at our club has a motorbike so they just kinda look at me with a "Quoi? Les motos?!"<br /><br />There are other things I do such as putting my opposite hook in with my foot and support the wrist with my forehead but I thought I'd focus on the elbow position :)Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-6276647290423735982011-06-02T19:33:18.331+01:002011-06-02T19:33:18.331+01:00@Shakia pleasure is all mine and thank YOU for tak...@Shakia pleasure is all mine and thank YOU for taking the time to read my ramblings :) <br /><br />It appears you really enjoyed this little nugget.

Then instead of lifting the victim's elbow, or even dragging the back of their hand down the mat (aka "paintbrushing") I find it effective to roll both my knuckles forward as if I were letting off the gas on a motorcycle.Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.com
