In: Gallery
Use one of the following techniques, depending on your situation.
- The hook - This technique is useful if you're as strong as your opponent in either forearm strength, bicep strength, or both.
- Curl inwards your wrist. This will extend your opponent's arm, but will require you to put a lot of bicep power in.
- Maintain wrist contact throughout the match so that force is delivered through the wrists, rather than the hands.
- Get your body (especially the shoulder) over your arm and keep your body and arm close together. Drag your opponent towards you as you push it down.
- The top roll - This move is more about leverage than brute strength. You put pressure on your opponent's hand, forcing it open and making it more difficult for him to use his muscles.
- Get your elbows close together. The resulting height gives you more of an advantage. Achieve as high a grip as possible on their hand.
- As soon as you hear the word "go" pull your hand towards you, pulling your opponent’s hand away from their body. This can help you get a higher grip.In this technique you will pull your body back.
- As you push their hand down, pull the opponent's wrist back. Their palm should rotate towards the ceiling.
