    Help troubleshooting the five-0?

    I was trying to work the Five-0 today and I was having difficulty getting my hand to the wrist that was cupped on the far arm. Any suggestions? Sit out more? Get on my side more? Even when my partner's arm is close to his body and my cupped hand sits pretty high on his arm, I'm still finding difficulty in reaching for the figure 4 hand positioning. Thanks for any help.

    Sometimes you have to start high. Keep jerking till you can slide your grip lower. I have long arms but when I roll with bigger guys I find that my grip is higher until I can pull their arm in closer.
