Female Freestyle Grapplers, Perfect Headlocks And Jiu-Jitsu, Maximum Improvement

June 28, 2023,

Speed. We all have a need.

To speed it up.

To get there faster. Get better. Faster.

Why take a long time? Life is too short.

As a young budding female grappler, there are two things about wrestling you should learn, quickly.

The headlock and Jiu-Jitsu.

First. Very quickly. It is an ancient philosophy.

If you see competition as a form of battle, we can look to the Romans and the classic Film Ben Hur.

As the ship’s cruel Roman leader comfortably looked down the galley at the unfortunate slaves rowing he would casually order:

Battle Speed.

Attack Speed.

Ramming Speed.

In warfare, ramming is a technique used in air, sea, and land combat.

The term originated from battering ram, a siege weapon used to bring down fortifications by hitting it with the force of the ram’s momentum.

Have you ever seen how powerful male rams with huge wide horns ram one another?

Apparently a Roman farmer was out in his field one day, saw two male rams charging one another and thought, where is Invent-Help when you need it.

Navies in antiquity commonly used the ram or beak as an important part of the armament of the galleys of Imperial Rome.

The ultimate improvement is found in the stars at Warp Speed.

You might disagree if you are stuck rowing in the belly of a Roman fighting ship.

If you are newer to female wrestling, what will help you escape the lower galley and get you to the head of the female grappling battle cruiser is learning one basic move and more important, one major discipline.

The headlock.

And one basic discipline.

Jiu-jitsu.

Whether it is Invicta or UFC, when you look at the rosters of both elite female grappling and fighting venues, they virtually all have Jiu-jitsu training.

The headlock is the basic wrestling hold.

Those of us who follow the sport know that.

A wrestling move where the attacker puts their arm tightly round their opponent‘s head, which the opponent can’t easily escape from is an effective headlock.

Securing the hold is a whole other matter.

How many determined female grapplers have gotten their opponents into headlocks, only to lose the hold and eventually lose the match?

Some of that is due to technique.

When capturing the headlock, very important, when you take down your opponent, land on top of her. Not the side or the middle.

On top.

To apply it effectively, you should have developed arm, shoulder and back strength to keep your opponent’s head locked underneath yours while you are static in a tight grip.

They will be squirming in anguish but you should be static and unyielding.

Practice that move over and over. We suggest with a male partner. That should give you an advantage when applying it real time with a female partner.

Remember, learning the headlock and Jiu-Jitsu.

Quickly.

Thoroughly, but quickly.

Jiu-jitsu is a family of Japanese martial arts and a system of close combat (unarmed or with a minor weapon) that can be used in a defensive or offensive manner to kill or subdue one or more weaponless or armed and armored opponents.

As Jiu-Jitsu has so many facets, it has become the foundation for a variety of styles and derivations today.

Let’s focus on Jiu-Jitsu from the experts.

Jiu-Jitsu Strategies and Tactics for Self-Defense: When the Fight Goes to the Ground establishes the risks and hazards of various ground defense scenarios, presenting effective strategies for neutralizing and minimizing them. You will learn a wide range of tools for defense, including the targeting of vital areas, body shifting/control techniques, and the concept of “weapons of opportunity.” All of these techniques are easy to learn and apply, providing an adaptable skill set for anyone, regardless of size, strength or gender. These tools are then shown in various combinations, with examples of how to use them against specific types of attacks, including simple hold-downs, ground and pound, submission grappling pins, chokes, arm locks, leg locks, knife attacks and multiple assailant scenarios.

In addition, this martial arts book gives you useful training suggestions and regimens, addressing graduated skill development, challenges presented by different body types, and safety practices at all levels of training.”
