Wrist Locks and Pressure

[Brent Smith]

Couldn't get it off the overhook but nailed it off an arm drag and when he went to circle his arm back around my body to square up, I caught it. It worked perfect.

Lots easier if they are wearing mma gloves.
From classic armbar position with their head on your left side. Consider if their near hand (right) is palm up or palm down.

If it is palm up;
-hook their right arm with your left arm. Blade of your forearm just below their wrist joint. Of course be tight to control the arm. You want their elbow stuffed in your crotch to help.
-Using your right hand, reach all the way over and grab their right hand on the thumb-side. Grab the lump of flesh below the thumb.
-Bring your right elbow down to your hip rotating their palm downward and inward toward their forearm.
-With your left hand grab your own right wrist like a Kimura grip.
-Bring your elbows to your hips squeezing everything down and into your body to lock the wrist.

Im supposed to being studying for an exam tomorrow, I'll do the palm down later.

Hmm I'm going to have to try that out

I would be very happy/honored if anything I told you about became part of your game. Im a fan.

I could see it working well. I'll just have to get to at least half spider web and I think I could get it. Paixao has a video that sounds similar to what you're saying but the guy he's doing it to doesn't have a grip to stop the armbar so I don't know how easy it is to get. Man I appreciate any input you have. Itll just make it stronger for me.
I don't care if people think its dirty, I think they're fun.

Paixaos the Master.
Im talking about a kimura grip like this;

Its done standing sometimes in other martial arts. The "reverse entanglement" is the double wrist lock from catch.
Imagine that white gi guy is in your spiderweb, hands clasped defending the armbar. Thats starting position.
If they start with their near-hand palm down its even easier, you just slap on that kimura grip and squeeze. No need to rotate the hand. Thier grips gonna break because; try this, make a fist or an s-grip shape with your hand, now see how far you can bend it towards your forearm, add a little pressure with your other hand and what happens? Your fingers want to open up.
Wrist-lock magic!

This guys not doing it as well as he could be.
He should have his fingers in the white gis palm more, really grabbing the base of the thumb because you have to rotate the pinky towards you as you pull in.
Blue gis left wrist should be rotated upward so the blade of his forearm is engaged with white gis forearm.
One thing that would help him with that and makes the move tight to the maximum effect is if he had managed to stuff white gis elbow down between his legs. (assuming they are in spiderweb)
