Nerveholds, claws and pressurepoints

When leg scissors aren't forcing a tap, add an armpit claw... Om foto's in de galerijen te zien moet je inloggen.

Yeah...have damaged a muscled young stud in UK with a longtimed pecs claws...over and over...full agony....and nerveholds too

Kabuki has his hands full with a young Tim Horner's pecs!

That's the "Great" Kabuki if you don't mind.

I need someone who loves giving the claw hold to work me over with the hold. It's impossible to make me submit in the pec and gut claw.

They always say that and they all submit. At least I haven't met the man yet who hasn't.

Like the challenge of the stomach claw.....getting a submission.

you can try your stomach claw on me. i won't submit.

MuscChamp delivers an exquisite pec claw. Precise application to the nerve center in the middle of pit with his grip of granite. Screamingly delicious.

The Great Kabuki used both hands to apply his armpit claw on Ted Oates. Both thumbs digging into Oates' armpit with the fingers of Kabuki's left hand digging into the pecs and the fingers of his right hand digging into the lats.

Savage (from JPWA) often applied a "flying pec claw" on his opponents (Chris Knight, in these photos).

Too bad this is a close up and not a wide shot. Impossible to tell if the claw is being applied while sitting up or if its a lifted claw hold.

Yes, the camera zoomed in at this point. Oates actually sinks to his knees as Kabuki applies his right hand. I've attached the full video. The pictured claw sequence begins about 5:35, although Kabuki uses the claw a few times earlier in the match.

thanks for sharing, Ted Oates is a stud! I love the angle of "asian heels using the claw hold on good guys" something that was used a lot back then. It's what got me started loving this type of wrestling!

thanks for this!

Very effective and brutal claw hold! The pro wrestler Kamala used it very effectively against his muscular opponents. It devastated them. Kamala vs Tony Atlas on youtube is an amazing match were the pec/pit claw is used throughout the match.

Here is match where the arm pit claw was used:

Anyone ever in chicago and want to claw me... let me know!!!

love this mach, especially the use of the claw!

love pit claws arms over head claw hold applied to both bicep/pit area slowly increasing pressure opponent having hairy pits is a plus

The arm pit claw is one of my most vicious and painful holds I like to put on a wrestler. The deeper into the pit I dig and squeeze, the more pain he is in. I've wrestled for 25 years and used this hold nearly every match. Most guys fight like hell to get away from it and either succeed or tap out in less than 10 seconds. I've encountered one or two wrestlers where my arm pit claw had no effect on them. Either they had a very high pain tolerance level or I wasn't applying it correctly. I'm based out of Seattle, Washington, and am open for challenges. Think you're tough enough to take my arm pit claw?

This and the stomach claw on a lean man's side or dead center around the navel.

Wow sounds like a great submission hold, bet its even more painful if you concentrate on just one side, weakening it time and time again, I'd love it

The single armpit claw causes the worst pain. I can focus all my weight on that one instead of trying to claw both pits at once

That is so true. Relentless in your grip…. Lessing it only to drive it down deep.

I use the armpit/pectoral claw all the time for a fast submission. If you dig in deep right where the pec meets the armpit, you can feel a muscle that is only a half inch wide but it runs the length of the pectoral. Squeeze that with all your strength and the guy thinks his arm is in spasms. It hurts like hell and he will tap out rather than take the pain. Works for me like a charm. I've even had the biggest, touhest, body punchers tap out to this within 1 or 2 seconds. If I telegraph it, they will turn into a vicious animal and find extra energy to fight it off, even if we are getting close to the fight's end.

Wow I'd love to be in that hold, I get rock hard when in a nerve hold

My ex used2 get me between my legs with 1hand. Pressure points

I have that done to me and it hurts like hell.

All holds depend on the person applying them and their opponent's body type. Some work perfectly on one opponent, while with others it has little or no effect. That refers to conditioning and body type.

For instance, its easy to chock out someone with a long, skinny neck. Its a lot more difficulty when they have a short stocky neck. Someone 5'4 would be unlikely to put their 6'4 opponent in a full nelson, while the reverse would be easy to do. A lot is technique, but your opponent's body type also has a lot to do with it. Your body type was likely prone to that hold.

Umm, not exactly. I had my wrestling neighbor apply this hold on me once. He grabbed my arm pits with all his might and shoved me against the wall grunting and making grimacing faces. Having never seen the move before I just stood there completely baffled at what he was trying to achieve.

After a minute of him struggling and shifting he realized it was doing anything so he released the hold and just walked out. He could never submit me in a match he often took defeat very badly.

Granted, I felt the pinching, but zero paralysis and certainly no excruciating pain. I haven't had anyone do that since. Maybe he wasn't doing it rights?

This is the best feel

i agree, love this hold/

It's a great submission hold. I like to use it in combination with other holds.

well, I envy your lucky opponents you work over.

It's SO not the obvious attack to make, quite rare, but BOY does it hurt.

I tried this with a guy in a 'give-and-take' bout, I applied it first and to my surprise/delight he screamed like a girl and offered his submission rapidly. Unfortunately as it was more a training / give-take match I had to let him do it back. Yes it really hurts! :)

Although unusual and less-used, consider adding it to your arsenal of submission attacks. It's effective, and often catches opponent off-guard as its unexpected.

It does hurt and I had that done to me multiple times in matches. Some guys like to punch the armpit afterwards too.

Sign me up! Love to suffer in that claw!

You can sign me up too.

Have you ever had it applied to your pit ?

Yes and it is wonderful for us masochistic jobbers.

Not the arm pit but the pec and stomach yes

Makes that arm pretty useless. You just have to hold on tight because your opponent is going to jerk around trying to get free.

Hello Rock, when I apply the armpit claw I control my victim with a wrist lock and a leg grapevine, limiting his motion. Then I just enjoy seeing him struggle in agony.

Oh sign me up for it....

Well, I envy your lucky victims.

Yes you have to immobilize your opponent. And yes the result is wonderful indeed.

oh yes ! armpit with pecs claw is the best

Definitely the most painful claw hold. Actually paralyzes your victim.
