Drunken Monkey Posted November 19, 2003 Posted November 19, 2003 grab is usually over commited and leaves to vulnerable to wrist locks (if the opponent is good) as it's the thumb wrapped around the wrist that gives them the leverage. we train with a 'half grab' without commiting the thumb (but we do have a grab and drag type move later...) it also allows our covering hand to 'fly' up when it is needed without worrying about a/our grip. we only need to control when we are finding a way to hit. once we hit, we continue hitting and the 'grab' is no longer needed. from here we use our elbow/forearm position to cover their arms. in short, we don't think it is neccessary to grab completely as our aim isn't to hold down their arms; our aim is to hit them in the head. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
