Saturday afternoon self defense post

The stopper toe hold. This can break an ankle or bust up a knee fairly quickly. The move is designed to be done quickly, with ample opportunity to chain into other moves depending on the reaction of your opponent.

Personally, I like to do this after love making, if my wife gets all uppity and refuses to go downstairs and fetch me a beer and a chicken soft taco.

    Uppity? She’ll soon go “Palin” on your shiny white ass and you’ll be huffing up the stairs with moose stew! You break me up, Jeff. Married men should not risk their lives and fortunes so frivolously. Kindest regards to the missus, and all.

    Toe-jam tacos, mmm, and pie.

    People never seem to appreciate that the natural motion of the extremities of the human body is mainly circular. It’s efficient, even elegant.

    Break that circle and see what happens. Darned quick, too.

    “Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable.”

    There’s a divide by zero error in there somewhere.

    Most women know a great many self-defense moves predicated on the fact that you have to sleep sometime, boy…

    Jeff, I submitted a freestyle wrestler about a week ago with the double wrist lock. The savagely fast animal pummeled me and tripped me into a “pin” position on my back, basically instantly. He thought the leg grapevine was the end of me. Then I saw the frame. He took it less than three seconds.

    Took it straight outta’ Tony’s video.

    Excellent!

    I had a nice little exhibition against some dubious wrestlers a couple weeks back. After a figure four choke (and front facelock; I kept alternating just to really mess with the poor guys), a double wristlock from the bottom, a spinning double wristlock (where I hip out to the side and catch the arm with a stepover move), and a stepover toe hold with a further nelson, they were believers — even moreso after my steristrips came off and they saw that my finger looked like it had been half eaten by a shark.

    I even let one of the guys sink a full naked choke on me with both “hooks” sunk. I gave him three seconds head start, then submitted him with a shin lock. He let go the choke and literally screamed. It was pretty funny, actually.

    Where can I get a link for that 2x wrist-lock video?

    Why do I prefer to watch WEC over the rest? I think it’s Rogan that bores me with his forced excitement.

    Rogan is a tool.

    Jeff Y is talking about a DVD Set, The Lost Art of Hooking. If it’s something that interests you, let me know. Tony is my coach.

    For the time being, you can find stuff here: youtube.com/catchwrestle.

    In the beginning of the video, when Tony holds the heel with his left, my dad taught me that when I was in third grade.

    I got into a shoving match with my next door neighbor (and best friend) and he fell on his back, I went in to, I dunno, punch him or something, and he kicked me in the mouth. Dad taught me to tuck my chin, get low, pull his leg in and turn my back to his other leg. Then put one knee on his balls if I could and twist his foot until his big brother came out to beat me up. Being from Belfast, my father fought dirty but always expected to lose.

    Never used it on him, did use it on my big brother once or twice.

    Him = next door, not my dad. He’d kick my ass.
