also, getting proper grips when your arm is properly across your face (as it should be) is pretty damn hard. |
thx good advice, i would definitely not use it in a tournament or rolling, but in a fight I would go for it before tapping. A lot of times I am able to get get back to my feet even when they hook the knee. Doesnt seem like a foolproof defense.
