WolverineGuy Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Ok, keeping in mind that grappling is my SPECIALTY...I had a freakin orange belt basically take everything I could throw at him, and he wriggled out of it. It was unreal. I threw a triangle choke, flowed into an armbar, and went into an omoplata, and just couldn't lock any of them in. He finally countered the omoplata, and went into a side mount. Match ended in a six minute draw...I've never had THAT much trouble keeping someone in check. Anyone else wanna chime in? Keeping in mind, I wasn't going ENTIRELY all out, but jeez.

WolverineGuy Posted February 27, 2004 Author Posted February 27, 2004 Skinny...heh, how does 11% bodyfat sound? I only know this because we were talking about it at the beginning of the day there, but yeah, the kid is skinny.

Toast Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 im very flexible and i also can wiggle out of many locks but i also am double jointed in both arms...so locks are pretty hard to do on me <Victory Martial Arts>15 yrs old; 6 yrs in TKD1st Degree Black BeltJr. Olympian | Team USA Qualifier"Train Like A Champion, Fight Like A Warrior"
Tal Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 A lot of people find it hard to lock me in jujitsu because of my flexibility. They usually get the lock on eventually but it requires more effort than locking most people. I'm known for being almost invulnerable to wrist locks shotokan karate nidanjujitsu shodankendo shodan
Bdaze Posted February 28, 2004 Posted February 28, 2004 my legs are extremely flexible so people very rarely get anything on me there. my arms on the other hand are only mildly flexible. my shoulders are my greatest weakness. generally if i know a person is really flexible i try to go for something other than a lock. muscle crushes, pressure points and SOME chokes work very well. but i find i can only get these after i've tired them out for a while. try a calf crush if you can. it doesn't matter how flexible they are, the only thing that can save them is a high pain tollerence.
