CONGRATULATIONS & WELCOME TO THE LEVEL 3-2 COURSE
Some Figure 4’s
This Course will introduce you to how to apply a figure 4 technique. A figure 4 is definitely not an easy armlock to apply to your opponent. It is next to impossible to apply if somebody is throwing a punch at you because well thrown punches move way too fast to catch the arm. That being said, it can be useful in certain grappling situations and if you have the arm in a position where you may find the forearm in a parallel position to the ground. We will experiment with some of these here and also some escapes if you get put into a figure 4.
After this Course you will have a pretty good understanding of how to apply a figure 4 and how to escape from one as well.
