    Still don't understand the freedom rock

    could someone put into words the difference? at first einstein pulls his elbows down from the regular rear naked position and it looks solid, but then he shows something about his wrist, what is this wrist angle thingy?

    Think of it like this rnc grip then move wrist bone into the throat/carotid towards you. It's the same motion as hipping in but ur wrist as hips. Hope that helps lol

    What Brandon said but also take into consideration the principals of space. Removing space = more efficiency, increasing space = decreased efficiency. You can use this principal to escape or improve a technique. The Freedom rock removes some space and adds preassure.

    It's all in the wrist.

    For any more information, please attend an Einstein seminar.

    Brandon, Nelson, thanks for the input . So as far as I understand now, you push with the palm of your choking hand against the bicep of your supporting arm to tighten the choking forearm against the neck, is that it mechanically? as far as trying it here in the air, i see that moving the supporting elbow towards the neck while changing the angle of your choking wrist allows that little extra space removal, am I getting this correctly?

    Ross, the last time an Einstein visited Israel was in the 1940s AFAIK, so in youtube and this mighty forum we shall trust!
