Today I put a twister on a guy at our gym. I felt like I had everything perfect, lockdown stretched out, tight s-grip on the top of head, felt perfect but he didn't tap. Even went defcon on him and he still didn't tap, though I could hear him grunt in pain. Eventually the round ended. My only guess as to why he didn't tap was because he is WAY taller and lanky-er than me. Is that a common with tall, lanky, flexible dudes?
I've had issues once in a while when the person is either much taller then me (say 6'0" or more, I'm 5'9") or much heavier (like 225lbs or more, I'm 160lbs). He may also have been just playing hero and not wanting to tap, let alone to the twister. Sometimes when I think the person is just playing tough guy I'll let go and go to something else, I'd rather not risk actually hurting them even if it was on their accord.
Do everything the same way. Now lift your hip.
Game changer.Quote:

Yup. Also, the lotus is key to preventing a good guy from threading that leg in and escaping...Quote:

He guy did the thing where he basically gives you the twister when he tries to come up and grab your head. Does having your legs in loutus add or take away from the pressure or is it just to prevent the dude from escaping. I wasn't worried about the dude escaping because I don't think he had a clue what was going on. I feel like having a stretched lockdown adds way more pressure. Yes/no?
+1 those details in the MTS are a game changer.Quote:

I also think that using the new grip on the head thats outlined in the last MTS also helps, seems to give you a better angle with your hips as well to drive them through and more pressure on their head, maybe its just me tho!
Thanks...I am a big guy so I don't have the same problem as the op, but this helped a lot anyway!Quote:
