Anybody using this? When you are in super defense mode. Turn your thumbs up. Makes it a bit harder for your opponent to separate your arm from your body.

I have not used this.. but very nice tip.. I shall do this from now on im sure.
This seems like a really cool variation. It's similar to when you RNC someone and you want to finish it with the back of the hand instead of the palm against the back of the head so your opponent can't pull the hand off. Also this would make your Home Alone super tight when you're caught in rubber guard.
Thumbs up, so palm facing out? My initial thought is that the guy on top, or bottom guard even, can push outwards against the hand, wrist locking your arm free. palms in the wrist lock is blocked by the other hand, if you are turning your palm outwards it should be easy to apply pressure against the wrist by grabbing the fat of the hand/thumb and forcing the hand out against the arm. I'll look at it though later. Pics/video of what you are doing would help.
Nah bro, rotate the other way. Laying flat on your back T. rex your arms then turn your thumbs toward the sky.Quote:
