I have very limited grappling experience but have been trolling this forum for a while now and keep reading about "oil checking". I've never seen it or done it, but have read many threads about it. It sounds to me like fingering another mans bung to make him move position. But my question is... what the fuck is up with this? It sounds like the shittiest, and gayest thing somebody could do on the matts. Where did this start, and is it really a legit technique?
 
HA! The classic butt drag. That comes from wrestling but yeah it is effective. If it's gay to you then that's your problem.
 
That's not really what it is. You're not sticking your finger in the guy's ass, it's called a "butt drag" where you use it to pull yourself behind the person from a seated position. It's not like you try to find the guy's butthole and put your finger there (I can't believe I'm seriously discussing this). That just happens to be the best place to pull for leverage in that position.

For some reason the forum adopted the term "checking the oil" for that, and made it sounds like it's used in a whole bunch of situations, which it isn't.
 
Here, this video kind of makes a joke about it, but you can see what the technique is that I'm talking about.

 
That video helps. I was imagining from all the jokes that the oil check was actually intending to go knuckle deep in someones ass. Like if you were rock climbing an needed a hand hold. I figured you'd be pushing your opponents shorts or singlet up in there so people were okay doing it since you wouldn't get shit on your hands.

Anyway, I have seen this in wrestling vids, but didn't know the name of it. Thanks for enlightening me.
 
It's threads with titles like this that make me end up with dubbs in the end:icon_lol:

Wow they are actually grabbing the guy between his but-cheeks. Reading the ts post I tough it was something like poking a guys asshole when the reff doesn't see it to make him move, I think it's the Indian touch tough, Forrest Griffin has mentioned it.

I was going to post that .jpg of Felicia Oh BRUTALLY checking the oil of another woman, but I couldn't find it. Anyone else got it?
 
there's also the pic from the olympics of a woman getting savage with an oil check, although if i remember correctly it looked more like a up front oil check, if you get my drift.

see the above post, the pic was posted as i was figuring out how to phrase my post.
 
You can also use a similar move in BJJ from side mount in order to keep your opponent pinned to the mat - grab the crotch of their gi pants, bunch them up and then plant your fist on the mat underneath their ass with a lot of weight on it. Makes it hard for them to bridge or shrimp.

^^I prefer the traditional judo pin where you reach through the legs around the far leg, grab the skirt of the gi, and around the head with the other hand, grabbing the collar, and sprawl back. Similar pin and position, but no ass grabbing necessary.
