Actually i'd prefer to know how to fight a short arm hook as a long arm toproller 😅 there's this one really buff dude with super short forearms in my club, he's got a crazy good hook, and i cant seem to roll out of it with a standard defensive toproll that you once showed in one of your videos 🤔 do i just have to work more on my pronation and backpressure, or is there something different i could do style wise?

There's also pronation through the wrist joint no?
@ChrisDrummondAW11 ай бұрын
You’re basically expressing it through the base of your thumb and that’s not meaningfully different than through the wrist joint. You can’t force a guy to hold on to your wrist joint.

Why doesn’t vitaly exploit rise in the set up like Devon? Is his forearm just too long that it would be a the back of the pad ?
@ChrisDrummondAW11 ай бұрын
That’s a big part of it. But watch Devon set up closely. He’s almost never super vertical with his wrist when getting a grip. He’s elevating his wrist and webbing as much as he can so that when he does kick back and rise he has better leverage. Marcio and Travis are better examples of people who use a lot of rise in the setup. Devon doesn’t do that.

Master Chris Drummond, first i'd like to thank you for your posting toproll video, watching it so many times has helped me destroy most of guys in my club. Very grateful for that, but lately i've run into a problem" hookers that grab low, like really low they cover the base of my wrist and block my pronation right of the get go, i become powerless, can't even move them, i tried low hand toproll but it's a hit or miss, when they grab low i can't do anything. Is there any counter to this? Pls enlighten me

If you can’t toproll them and hooking them doesn’t work, then your choices are to get stronger or keep losing.

@jakechia_armwrestling11 ай бұрын
Hi there! Just wanted to share that a good counter to that would be to focus on cupping and driving sideways using more side pressure instead of trying to toproll and open his hand. If you want to attack with backpressure and toproll, another good option would also be to keep your thumb as far away as possible from his so that your opponent has less coverage over the base of your wrist and all the pressure is going towards his fingers. Hope this helps!
