Half Crab

By: CombatChaz on Friday, November 4, 2005

The Half Crab is a cool submission that you can go fo next time your opponent in down in front of you.

Step 1

Emma is standing over Cole

Step 2

Emma works in and grabs Cole's legs

Step 3

Emma tucks Cole's left leg into her right armpit as she pushes his right knee town towards the mat.

Step 4

Emma quickly moves her left hand behind Cole's left knee and pulls downward, turning the knee to the mat.

Step 5

Keeping her weight centered, Emma steps over Cole's left leg with her right foot. This motion forces Cole to roll over

Step 6

Emma sits down on Cole's backside and grips her left wrist with her right hand. Emma then places her left hand on Cole's shin. To finish Emma leans backwards as she keeps her weight on Cole's back.

I love ankle locks. Killer half boston crab finish. In an mma mindframe I'm not real cool with the entry by for no-gi submission only... COOL!!!

It definitely has a huge possibility for leverage on that stretch... and it doesnt't leave a lot of room for escape once it's locked in.... Ouch

this is a nifty little move when rolling around. Another variation I like is to add a heel hook on the finish

The single leg crab hurts insanely.... INSANELY.

So the rubber didn't go as planned. Oh well, it's only $30.

This is considered a spinal lock and not an ankle lock, Sergio. This move forces the lower spine to attempt move beyond its range of motion. Very effective if you can do it. However like all spinal locks it is hard to apply it. Once locked in spinal locks are amoung the most difficult to escape from. Getting into the move is the hardest part.

I will roll with anyone, regardless of their skill level, age, gender or weight.

I would rather lose by one point then win by one hundred, for in that loss I will learn much and in that victory I will learn little.
