self-defense lesson for a Sunday afternoon: neck crank and arm bar combination

That grunting you hear? All real:

….Somewhere, James Wolcott just cinched up his dressing gown and let loose an airy and wistful “Oh, my…!”

  1. happyfeet says:

    Brilliant Olympics counter-programming I think. Also my Ralph’s now has Tattoo magazine at the checkout, you just reminded me. Why don’t people consult me on these decisions I don’t get it.

  2. Jeff G. says:

    Just drilled this move myself recently.

    Want to have even more fun with it? Use that one free hand to pinch the guy’s nose while yelling “honk!” Use the other to apply a toe hold. Nasty.

    Consider that last an annotation.

  3. Dan Collins says:

    Tony’s being nice. You can accidentally throw your elbow into the gut from that position.

  4. Jeff G. says:

    Oh, sure. He’s completely stretched out, particularly if you use your (in this case) left arm to grab a foot or leg and bend the guy in half.

    Ah, the fun we can have!

  5. Sdferr says:

    Too bad Bruce didn’t have a great gob of neckflesh to use as a pillow for his chin while it was being driven through to his spine there. Coulda been move comfy that way I’m think’n

  6. Sdferr says:

    More, not move. Slurry fingers.

  7. happyfeet says:

    off topic but I’m noticing navigation-wise it would be useful to have a link to the Pub coded at the bottom of the pages I think

  8. Dan Collins says:

    And vice-versa from the Pub.

  9. Darleen says:

    Well, that was weird. The Youtube doesn’t embed in my IE7 but I can see it on Foxfire.

    Totally female observation — when Tony turns around to show the move from the back, those pocket thingies look like a couple of angry eyes staring out from his buttcheeks.

  10. Darleen says:

    Dan, hf,

    Ditto. I find I’m keeping two windows open, one each for PW classic and the Pub.

  11. Jeff G. says:

    We’re going to give the Pub much more prominent placement, links, etc. Just a matter of my wife finding the time, really.

    Patience, dears.

    Oh, and Darleen? Those are eyes. The brand is Bad Boy. The producer made Tony and Bruce wear that stuff. Tony tossed it after the shoot, he told me.

  12. Jeff G. says:

    Incidentally, I’m hoping to turn this site into the kind of place that, should people link it, they’ll be frightened what those who follow the links might think.

    Learn the blog language or to hell with you, is the way I look at. If I wanted to write singular columns, I’d do so.

  13. Darleen says:

    JeffG

    Ha, those WERE eyes! Not like Tony needs anything like that to draw attention to his buns of steel.

    [grin]

  14. happyfeet says:

    or singlet columns even

  15. Pablo says:

    Hey, when you’re tinkering w/ the Pub, the mobile version doesn’t allow comments. The tw thingy doesn’t appear and thus comments don’t take. Muchos gracias.

  16. Jeff G. says:

    I take you think this whole grappling thing is a bit of a joke, huh, hf?

  17. happyfeet says:

    no. I just don’t understand what singular columns means exactly.

  18. Jeff G. says:

    standalone columns that require no previous experience with the writer.

  19. happyfeet says:

    got it. This is funny grappling though. It’s oddly a big Valentine’s date thing to do here as well. It’s way hard to get tickets really.

  20. cranky-d says:

    I really felt sorry for the demonstrator guy. I wonder if he was thinking, “What the hell was I thinking when I agreed to this?”

  21. Darleen says:

    cranky-d

    I found the tape very informative, but like you, I kind of got distracted worrying about that poor guy turning red and tapping the mat like crazy to be “let go.”

    JeffG

    Out of curiousity, are there any women in this? I see women doing all sorts of MA and workouts, including weight training and kettlebell … but this seems fairly close to wrestling I’m wondering if there has been much interest by women to try it out.

  22. Dan Collins says:

    Oh, Shaft.

  23. Darleen says:

    Dan

    The people of my youth are dropping away. Makes me feel old.

    It’s like watching those design shows and they remake a room in “mid-century style” and they are referring to the 1950s! When I was born! I’m “mid-century”!

    argh.

  24. Dan Collins says:

    Old? Shut yo mouth!

  25. Darleen says:

    I can dig it.

  26. Jeff G. says:

    Shit. Isaac was one of those dudes who never seemed to age. I loved him on the Rockford Files, too. And, of course, as Truck Turner. And Chef.

    Oh well. He’s climbed aboard that starship and headed for the sky, as L. Ron might say.

    Or was that Denis DeYoung?

  27. Jeff G. says:

    Darleen —

    One of Tony’s students is a young woman (about 19, I think) who just won a NAGA tournie.

  28. Darleen says:

    One of Tony’s students is a young woman (about 19, I think) who just won a NAGA tournie.

    Cool! Damn, I wish I was 20 something again because there seems to be so many more neat things to try!

  29. B Moe says:

    Oh well. He’s climbed aboard that starship and headed for the sky, as L. Ron might say.

    Or was that Denis DeYoung?

    Maybe George Clinton, in this case.

  30. Jeff Y. says:

    Shit. I can’t wait to get my vids.

    Anyone want to train in Dallas?

  31. bergerbilder says:

    Is a NAGA tournie like one of those “Yo Mama” contests?

  32. happyfeet says:

    Don’t be flip Mr. bergerbilder. Also doesn’t Reille Hunter also a lot sound like one of those WWE bimbo hoochies? I think so. That or porn. Upscale porn, to be sure.

  33. happyfeet says:

    Like with dialogue and stuff.

  34. B Moe says:

    Elitist.

  35. JHoward says:

    He’s climbed aboard that starship and headed for the sky, as L. Ron might say.

    Beautiful. Even if LRH said it.

    Meanwhile, I suspect Walcott is a Nihilist…but submission guy might not be. Pain is like that.

  36. TaiChiWawa says:

    Like with dialogue and stuff.

    But is the grunting real?

  37. urthshu says:

    >>those pocket thingies look like a couple of angry eyes staring out from his buttcheeks.
    Hmm

  38. Benedick says:

    Um, When Bruce taps out, isn’t that supposed to suggest that Tony cease applying pressure? Because that didn’t seem to be working out for Bruce.

  39. Blitz says:

    Way ot, but how do you link a specific post from here? Have been trying to link ‘Known Unknown'(Dan Collins) and all I can get is the whole second page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  40. urthshu says:

    I think you link the orange #.

    RE: Tap out – in this case, its probly more like “go no further”

  41. Blitz says:

    Thanks Urtshu, I’ll give that a shot. I’m really a moron as far as all that goes. However, I’d have loved to be there for JH’s engine swap or someone elses (can’t remember, sorry) caliper/ball joint jobs. And JH? Beer may be the answer, but the bitch don’t bleed brakes!!

  42. JHoward says:

    Blitz, after some point, It’s All About The Beverage™

  43. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    I can’t see the embed with IE, but my computer screen is wafting intoxicating man musk.

    I am totally buying these videos.

    Produce an instant ‘tap’ by your opponent and a pint of ‘Sex Panther’ by Odion at the same time.

    I bet if you perfect it, your moustache will grow in thicker too.

  44. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    It’s been a really nice Sunday.

    I think that’s because Bernie Mac has had the Lord in fits of gut-busting laughter all day.

    Issac? Well, he’s now raising his pimp hand to that evil prick Xenu.

    And I bet that makes the Lord smile too.

  45. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Do you think Eddie Murphy, D.L. Hugley, and Chris Rock are nervous right now?

    These things happen in 3’s.

    I bet they’re all praying it’s Chris Tucker.

    It better not be Chappelle.

  46. Jeff Y. says:

    Lamontyoubigdummy wrote, “I bet if you perfect it, your moustache will grow in thicker too.”

    Not only your mustache.

  47. Blitz says:

    Hey JH,it’s ALWAYS “about the beverage”! just sometimes? you can’t make it do what you want it to do…How did the swap come out btw?

  48. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “Not only your mustache.”

    Good grief man.

    If you’re gonna make sexual innuendo regarding two sweaty, bare-chested men grappling with one another, at least aim it toward the ladies.

    Think more Ron Burgandy and less 70’s (the dicks have sideburns) gay porn.

    I’m in Dallas, and was thinking about taking you up on the training offer…

    …now I’m worried you may have a ‘boner to the carotid’ submission in your bag. Down on Oaklawn, they call that ‘The Queer Naked Choke.’

  49. JD says:

    There is no violent crime in China.

  50. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Ok…this is fucking hysterical.

    http://ace.mu.nu/archives/270400.php

    Again, apologies. Me caveman, no have FF. IE no let caveman make good linky.

  51. urthshu says:

    Nor police brutality. ‘Cuz it legal, you know….

  52. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “There is no violent crime in China.”

    Except for those good communist Chinamen that those other slanty eyed (denounced!) muslims blew up with a fucking tricycle.

    A God. Damn. Bomb. Laden. Tricycle!

    Jesus tapdancing…

    If the jihadis get any more low tech, ‘World War Z’ really is gonna be a survival guide.

  53. JD says:

    I thought the Olympic athletes had to be, at the bare minimum, 15 years old.

  54. Ric Locke says:

    Blitz, the link to a particular post (with associated comments) is the time.

    Posted by Jeff G. @ 11:49 am

    See?

    Regards,
    Ric

  55. JD says:

    Michael Phelps is a stud. I hope he pisses on that French fuck in the relay finals.

  56. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Think China will wait for UN opinion and oh so moral “what did we do to cause this?” comment from it’s liberal citizens?

    Uh, no. Not so much.

    I hope the Uighur muslims have enjoyed their 500 year run, because they’re all (to the last woman and child) about to get wiped off the Earth.

    Their land should make a nice parking lot next to the Great Wall.

    Al Qaeda thinks the US Military are hard asses? Wait ’til they see how China rolls.

    They don’t give a flying fuck about what you show on the BBC. The AP photogs can snap all they want (right before they’re shreaded by a cluster bomb).

    Funny. There’s no Network embeds in Georgia right now.

    Can’t imagine why.

  57. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Long time competitive swimmers have alien bodies.

    The twelve foot tall, stick figure alien that comes out of the Disney Main Street Parade ship at the end of ‘Close Encounters’…he was a swimmer.

    I’m not saying he butt-probed Phelps or anything, but…

    What were we talking about?

  58. Blitz says:

    Ric. I thank you especially scarecrow for all that you’ve tried to teach me. Some I’ve retained, some not. I’m an html moron!

    In this case, Urthshu already showed me how, and I forgot to thank him due to trying to engage JH in a discussion that I actually can participate in! I really don’t belong here as a commenter, although the posts and comments are easily understood.

    So Thank you Urtshu! Post worked, and I’m on my way to being skewered by O! supporters!!

  59. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    …”the link to a particular post (with associated comments) is the time.”

    The Time?

    I love Morris Day!

    ‘Bird’ is the word ya’ll.

    Shuckey Duckey Quack Quack!

  60. JD says:

    LYBD – They really are mutants, aren’t they?

    Phelps is about to start kickin’ ass and taking names again.

  61. Blitz says:

    well there WAS a sale this week on !!!!!!!.I bought ’em by the gross. Anyone need any?

  62. JD says:

    Blitz – Why do you say you do not belong?

  63. JD says:

    Am I the only person that kicks a puppy and tries to oppress a minority every time I see France win a medal?

  64. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “Blitz – Why do you say you do not belong?”

    Yeah. Don’t say that. These folks tolerate me, and I’m border line retarded.

    Jump on in Blitz. The water is tepid (it gets warm if you swim by Jeff).

    JD-
    Phelps has to have a dolphin in the family ‘woodpile.’

    An American dolphin.

    With a 3′ foot cock.

    It probably hangs out off Bimini.

    Hot chicks down there.

  65. Sdferr says:

    Ah yes, dolphins, the rapists of the sea!

  66. Pablo says:

    OK, so now I can see the video, and I’d just like to say “OW! tap tap tap…OK, where did I leave that gun?”

  67. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “Ah yes, dolphins, the rapists of the sea!”

    But they totally are! Did you see that “Dolphins, The Dark Side” show on Discovery!?

    The males are like Jeff. They rock out with their cock out, and hump and slam into everything around them.

    And I’m here to tell you, that poor lobster needed a lawyer.

    Maybe Gloria Steinem.

  68. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Sure. There are places you can pay to pet ’em and they get free fish & whatnot.

    But Y chromisome dolphins are basically out of control male porn stars who think it’s hilarious to charge you at 15 knots and ram you in the squeakhole.

    They went through five ‘Flippers’ before they figured that out.

  69. psycho... says:

    rapists of the sea

    I’d buy that tuna, but you’re underselling our dolphin buddies. Every mobile thing in the sea is the rapist of the sea. It’s a big salty bucket of rape.

    Dolphins are special. They’re murderers. It’s only the droolers on the evolutionary short bus who don’t kill for sport. Dolphins are up in the VIP with us.

    RESPECK

  70. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “Dolphins are up in the VIP with us.”

    Goddamnit.

    I knew it!

    Fucking VIP Room. I KNEW! the dolphins got all the good strippers. I’ve been saying it for years.

    But, nooooooo… “Relax, dude…the salt water fish tank is just ambiance.”

    Bull. Fucking. Shit.

    There were dolphins around.

    Blow hole’d dickheads.

    They can hold their breath, like…forever.

    If you let one of those dorsal fin’d bastards in a hot-tub with you’re girl, she’s ruined.

    Like…forever.

    That whole mermaid myth? Those were two legged white girls got turned out and sprung, trying to make it back to their dolphin pimp.

    That dolphin was Kenyan.

    Obama’s grandfather.

    ScarJo ain’t texting him for nothing.

    Obama’s stable is deep.

    Just like Filmore Slim.

    Tell me I’m lyin’

  71. PC14 says:

    Shit, youse guys need some sun, vitamin D3 therapy. Either that or get 10 coupons at the spray tan salon. I mean, lily white skin and bun huggers is certainly not teh cool…regardless of all the submission.

  72. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “Shit, youse guys need some sun, vitamin D3 therapy. Either that or get 10 coupons at the spray tan salon. I mean, lily white skin and bun huggers is certainly not teh cool…regardless of all the submission.”

    ????

    How did PW get linked to Perez Hilton?

  73. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    PC14?

    I mean, I like to hear from K-Fed as much as the next guy, but Jeebus.

  74. Jeff G. says:

    Whenever I’m having my arm broken in two places, I think to myself, “sure. But at least I’m tan.”

    — Which, by the way, I am. Which is why I demand a black cast be put on.

    Plus: thinning!

  75. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Quit talking tough.

    You only get a black cast because it makes your dick look bigger.

    Plus, you can ‘BeDazzle’ the shit out’a that thing.

    You’re a Rhinestone Cowboy and you know it.

    That bag of guilt is heavy.

    Just set it down.

  76. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “Plus, you can ‘BeDazzle’ the shit out’a that thing.”

    I meant ‘BeDazzle’ your cast. Not your dick.

    Just to be clear.

    It’s really up to you and your glue gun.

    I only say this cuz last night the good folks here thought I was gonna write a thesis by taking a Sharpie marker to my dog’s balls (which you can’t do if he see’s you coming and lights out under the bed).

    Anyway. You gotta watch how you say what you say around here.

    I like that.

  77. Sold!

    Lamontyoubigdummy, you’re my new pot dealer! Now I gotta pee.

    By the way Jeff, Tony, with all that Pain Master shit and the eyes on his ass, it was too much. Tony is like the big brother from deepest darkest HELL. Seriously, he really could tickle someone to death, couldn’t he? All while making you simultaneously submit and smell his farts I bet. God damn. I don’t know who invented catch wrestling, but ten to one he was someone’s big brother.

    yours/
    peter.

  78. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    “Lamontyoubigdummy, you’re my new pot dealer!”

    WTF!?

    I have pot?

    Oh, wait…

    I do have pot.

    But not enough for everybody.

    Keep it down, dude.

    And I bought this $500, glass top humidor cuz some jerk gave me a box of (Fake!) Cubans…

    Now it reeks of dead skunk, wet dog, and moist Jamaican B.O.

    There’s some stale pain & shame in there too.

    It’s a big humidor.

    Just needs a little Windex.

  79. Roland THTG says:

    I got me some genyouwhine Habanos in Shanghai. But I’m not going to share.
    They go well with Wu Liang Ye. That stuff will kick yo ass like a mad chinese cop.

  80. ccoffer says:

    Gee. Bernie Mac and then Isaac Hayes. They say good black men die in threes. I’m sure Barack Obama is comforted by that.

  81. JD says:

    The 4 x 100 freestyle relay last night where we cockslapped France was a joy to watch.

  82. Barrett Brown says:

    So, I want to argue about politics with you guys, but there’s no politics to be found here. I’m going into withdrawal. I have no one to argue with in real life. Is this going to continue being Jeff Goldstein’s de facto MySpace page for the foreseeable future, or will you guys resume making easily-debunked posts based on e-mails you got from your respective second cousins on the subject of Obama not releasing records that don’t exist? Please advise. I need to plan ahead.

    Incidentally, I love all of you very much, and not in a platonic way. In a very sexual way. Entirely sexual.

  83. JD says:

    Sounds like someone has been practicing the O Salute, NTTAWWT.

  84. Barrett Brown says:

    “Sounds like someone has been practicing the O Salute, NTTAWWT.”

    Oh, yeah. That’s the stuff. My mouth waters before the needle even hits the vein.

    The “O Salute” was created by some ad firm in LA that is not affiliated with the Obama campaign. Do you want to see a very amusing poster that actually originated with the McCain campaign? Please advise.

  85. Darleen says:

    BB

    are you unaware of the Pub?

  86. B Moe says:

    So, I want to argue about politics with you guys, but there’s no politics to be found here.

    Post a substantive assertion at the Pub. Nothing to it.

  87. Barrett Brown says:

    I am indeed unaware. What is it, if you please?

  88. B Moe says:

    Here:
    https://www.proteinwisdom.com/pub/index.php
    There is a link at the top left of this page, just above the tip jar.
    Any one can start a post if they register.

  89. Salt Lick says:

    Yes, The Pub, Barrett. We’ll stand you a Shirley Temple. But don’t feed the armadillo.

  90. Barrett Brown says:

    Thank you. Thank you.

  91. Slartibartfast says:

    Was there a video in there, somewhere?

  92. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Can someone point me to a comment where bb was arguing anything, except that the repubs are as bad as the dems? I might have missed it. BB’s the good libertine that loves him so O, correct?

  93. Barrett Brown says:

    “Can someone point me to a comment where bb was arguing anything, except that the repubs are as bad as the dems?”

    Yes.

  94. Jeff G. says:

    I put up a political post for you, Barrett. Go play.

  95. bigbooner says:

    And now if we could quickly return to the manly stuff I would just like to say that I have never lost a fight to a hand-cuffed man. Never.

  96. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Ok, BB. Now you’re supposed to point that comment out to me. You answer questions, well, just like you comment. Except, this time at least you were efficient in your saying nothing. Much appreciated.

  97. Barrett Brown says:

    “I put up a political post for you, Barrett. Go play.”

    Thank you.

    “Much appreciated.”

    No problem!

  98. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    So, you’re fine with being known, at least in here, as nothing more than a contrarian. Kewl.

  99. Thanks for the info. Lots of notes to review from your informative post.
