Put your shoulder into it.
Exert hard.
That is an expression that speaks to the virtue of hard work. Very respectable.
In our fully competitive female submission wrestling world, putting your shoulder in to it after securing a headlock, speaks to the payoff after your hard work in the gym and the effectiveness of your strategy.
The key to a great head lock submission is to tighten your grip around your opponent’s head and neck area and after it is secure, using your shoulders to fall on top of her head, where her head literally disappears underneath you as you extract a submission.
Follow this technique and we are very confident you will have success. We have seen this occur so often.
It is important to state that, because time after time, we have seen newer female grapplers grab for the head while they are in the bottom position. They do achieve a headlock but since their opponent is on top and they have no body weight leverage, the opponent, in the superior position, will typically break the hold.
Once they break that hold and are sitting on top of you, they are in a great position for a rear naked choke, or smother submission.
A case in point is a match we purchased between Bulgaria’s Vox and Cheetah at Wrestling Monica’s store in London.
Cheetah constantly grasped for headlocks from the bottom position and Vox constantly broke the hold and afterwards was in a fantastic position from the top.
It was only when Cheetah changed up, secured a headlock, took Vox down to the mats and put her body weight on top of Vox’s head, which disappeared beneath her, that Cheetah secured a submission.
Again, put your shoulder in to it.
Regarding your shoulders, there are multiple ways to build them up from bench presses to pushups.
For our purposes today, we are going to look at using dumbbells to help you achieve your goals.
Time for some instruction.
